My dad died April 30 on my birthday. We paid to have services here a small viewing before he was creamated. My brother who was not to get the remains only me" called and spoke to MrDavid Sanchez and gave some bullshit story on how I was unable to get them due to grief and blah blah blah so they whited out my name and out his name without ever reaching out to me. I knew something was fishy so I showed up and got my father's remains. And my brother wasn't to happy about it. I am livid with Gabaldons my family has been not only customers but neighbors and friends to the Gabaldons family. My great grandmother still lives across the street from them. They've done every funeral I can remember growing up. Yes it's been about 6 months but I'm still livid they would do this, not only to me but my family.

After a sudden short illness, a sweet wonderful member of our family passed away. Although exhausted from hospital trips, overnight stays & all that comes with the terrible knowledge that a life is ending, arrangements must still be made. We were recommended Direct Funeral by a wonderful nurse at the hospital. We called and they were amazing. Robert was the gentleman who helped us. He listened respectfully to what we wanted. Answered our many questions and did not try to push us into things we didn't want. We chose something simple & were very satisfied with the service & price. We are very grateful for his help. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

Full disclosure, I'm not the next of kin…read more Death is one of the hardest emotions, most stressfully moment of an individuals life. When my loved one died they were very nice initially. However, through the process there were moments where they were missing a sensitivity chip. I tried to put myself in their shoes. I understand they do this every day but the remaining loved ones don't. I had never had to go this process before. I can tell you that my heart was breaking and I had to bow down numerous times to obtain guidance and information. It was cold at times. I don't fault them for the family drama that ensued after, but I guess I assumed incorrectly that I would be treated a little more kindly. In the end I was put in my place very coldly, but I had already paid so not much to lose for them, I guess. I scored a 3 stars because Catherine went above and beyond to help me and was very patient with me. Thank you.

Reflections is a God send! Our Mother died during the height of COVID deaths…read more Not knowing Reflections, we had Mother's body taken to another mortuary the evening she died. We called the next morning to discuss arrangements, and were informed we can't meet to start the death certificate process for cremation for 13 days because they were overwhelmed. We called a couple other funeral homes and were referred to Reflections, whom we called immediately. All on the day of the initial call to Reflections : Louis, the 4th generation mortician/proprietor took the death certificate information over the phone; had Mother's body picked up within 2 hours from the original mortuary; met with us at 2:00; got her death certificate signed by the doctor, and got her cremation approved by the office of medical investigations, and delivered the signed and approved death certificate to the State for printing -- all before we left his office at 3:45!Louis was completely transparent on their very reasonable prices and options. It was amazing. Two business days later: the obituary and picture were posted to Reflections website, and we picked up Mom's urn and death certificates. We were very grateful to not draw out the process. Just as important was Gloria's and Louis' sincere empathy. They were genuinely interested in hearing about our remarkable Mom. The experience was comforting. This is a picture of the gorgeous urn.

I could not believe the representative's behavior and tone as he "didn't care" anything about the situation other than getting that document signed. I wound up relinquishing my meager inheritance in order to continue to get my sister's remains cared for. I was reminded that they keep remains for 3 days before disposition. I had not heard of stories like this except in the news and I was completely shocked they pulled this on me in this day and age. GO seek out a company that offers honesty and dignity to the deceased and the mourners. They committed fraud and theft by doubling up their burial fee through this method.
