Selecting a funeral home is something we never like to think about until the time is facing us…read more Should that happen and you are put in the path of selecting a funeral home for your loved one, I'd recommend Conkle on 16th Street. They also offer Pre-Planning packages to avoid putting your loved ones through this experience. They are compassionate, kind, respectful of your loved ones, and they gently walk you through the selection process. They realize you're numb from grief and no one is ever ready for this process in our lives. Conkle's interior remains as it has been for years but is clean, well maintained and cared for even though the drapes are certainly out of style. I know! Who's looking at the drapes at a time like this? The chapels are large and can be increased or decreased as necessary. They try to accommodate every person's budget and are helpful even after the service when you need death certificates or have questions. One additional thought is many restaurants are located within walking distance of Conkles in Speedway for those who spend hours supporting the family. This was brought to my attention and much appreciated for those assisting the family and friends.

(I had had a very different experience when trying to work with Crown Hill Cemetery). Conkle supported me every step of the way, knowing that I was planning all of this while living out of state-- they went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. They were also very knowledgeable when I asked for recommendations for everything from a minister, an organist, to a local restaurant. I appreciate their helpfulness and attention to detail. Highly recommend them.

You only get one chance to make a first impression, but you always have a chance to make a lasting…read moreimpression...... My first experience with Crown Hill was very disappointing. I was on a mission to mark my grandmother's grave which had been that way for nearly 100 years. I'd heard she was there when I was 5 and knew, from the way people spoke, that being in an unmarked grave was a bad thing. I finally made the move to remedy this and the project didn't go well. Ultimately we got the marker placed, but the experience wasn't good to be nice. Seeing my first review, the Exec Director of Crown Hill reached out to me and wanted to learn about my experience. He was professional and apologetic and asked what could be done to make up for their mistakes. After discussions about what was possible, they offered to help me place a marker on another unmarked grave. This one was an aunt (my grandmother's oldest daughter) who had taken her life after a very turbulent life. This was another family story that was whispered about. The catch was that she was buried in Arizona, and of course, Crown Hill is in Indiana. The folks at Crown Hill reached out to my aunt's cemetery and learned they would accept a marker produced in another state and shipped to them. It may seem silly to want to mark a grave for someone you never met before. But my mother is 97 and still very vital. I hoped that I could remedy these two wrongs from the past and give her some solace. Earlier this month I made the trip to Phoenix to see the marker that arrived earlier that month. It's hard to express the feelings of relief and a peace that comes with helping their lives more fittingly remembered. No longer a couple of bare patches of ground, both now have a way for others to learn that they are there and lived lives that mattered to their families. From the deepest part of my heart, I want to thank the Crown Hill people that made this possible. It takes real caring to turn a major disappointment into a miracle. Thank you!

We initially began working with another funeral home, but after meeting Ben and his team, we were immediately impressed by their compassion, professionalism, and the quality of services they offered. It quickly became clear that Rawls Mortuary was the right choice for our family. Ben and his team were exceptional from start to finish--kind, patient, thorough, and always on top of every detail. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, they guided us with genuine care, dignity, and professionalism. What stood out most was Ben's willingness to go above and beyond. He helped us find a church large enough to accommodate our family, handled several last-minute requests seamlessly, and ensured everything came together exactly as it should. His attention to detail and ability to anticipate needs gave our family tremendous peace of mind. We also appreciated that the services were beautifully done while remaining affordable. In a time when families are vulnerable and overwhelmed, it was refreshing to work with an honest small business owner who truly cares about the people he serves. We held the wake at Craig Chapel, and it was wonderful to see such a historic community landmark being used so beautifully. The facility provided the perfect setting for family and friends to gather, reflect, and celebrate a life well lived. Thank you, Ben and the entire Rawls Mortuary team, for helping us honor Lester with such care and respect. We highly recommend Rawls Mortuary to any family seeking compassionate, professional, and affordable funeral services.

I was just passing by their little blue house in downtown Carmel, when I saw the sign and stopped to get the scoop. First, the shop is adorable, filled with plants, "moss art" and other home decor. You had me at plants - I love plants. I spoke with Makenzie, one of the co-owners. She gave me info about Fall and Christmas holiday options to decorated your front door, patio and even put up a Christmas Tree. For $480 you can get a Christmas wreath, garland and decorated side planters for the porch. They bring it to your home and decorate for you. What a great idea for people that are too busy to decorate (or like me, just not creative). I was encouraged by Makenzie to visit their website to see examples of their different decorating packages before ordering. The shop porch is also decorated. Worth a visit for anyone who wants easy decorating.
