I would not recommend Donald Trimble Mortuary or Hillandale Cemetery. While the funeral home staff was professional and did a great job with my mother's body, they made serious mistakes with her burial. The headstone, which was part of the funeral package, came several months later with out her picuture engraved, and was placed on someone else's fresh grave.
The Funeral home said money was short for headstone. The insurance on a three way call verified it was not. Despite multiple attempts to get them to put my mother's headstone on her grave and fix the headstone including writing them and visiting the office, nothing was done.
I was told by Hillandale employee that Hillandale sold part grounds to a church. I think headstones were moved. Many people were present at the burial and witnessed the correct site. The funeral home and cemetery were uncooperative in resolving the issue. My mother prepaid for her funeral, and both parties received significant funds, but they failed to honor her properly.
If anyone has had a similar experience, I am considering a class action lawsuit. You cannot treat families this way and expect to be paid. Why put her headtomb on a fresh grave months later. Both parties knew that was not her? My mother was a deaconness. She was 85 and very into her faith and so is my family. This does not sit well with me at all because of the refusal to correct and actually they got ugly with me about it. People just need to do the right thing. Its ridiculous. I am determine they will not get a way with it. read more
