    Blair Funeral Home

    Blair Funeral Home

    My mother and I weren't really prepared when my father passed away suddenly. We knew he wanted to…read morebe cremated, but hadn't thought much past that when we had nurses asking what we would like their next steps to be. I did a quick Google of crematory services near Champaign, saw one we recognized and asked for my father's body be taken there. After having a few hours to think about it, the next morning we called Blair to ask if we could have a Celebration of Life service there. We didn't want a formal funeral, (no visitation, no ashes need even be present) but something short and sweet just so that people could stop by and hug us if they wanted to. My father (and mother) grew up in Mahomet and my father was friends with the Blair family. He had played in the Blair house frequently as a child and many of his friends and extended family are still in that area. It seemed like the perfect idea and something he would have been pleased with. Blair Funeral Home is now owned by Owens. I didn't have anything against Owens until the morning my mother called to ask about our event. I couldn't hear the woman my mother was talking to, but I could hear my mother's side of the conversation. My mom was much calmer and collected than anyone could expect a woman to be less than 24 hours after losing her husband of 45 years. My mom ended up crying---because she was so angry---and telling the woman on the other end we wouldn't be needing her services. I called Owens-Blair back immediately. I wasn't as pleasant with the bristly woman on the other end. She seemed extraordinarily put out that they hadn't been called first to handle the cremation and kept insisting my mother had been overwrought and was refusing to understand what she was saying. She also seemed to be under the impression my mother was upset about the price of the room rental. I'm not proud to say I became VERY angry. I had been standing right beside my mother and this was patently untrue and price was never going to be an issue. Needless to say, we had a very nice service ELSEWHERE.

    We used this funeral home to care for my brother. They were professional and supportive when we…read moredid not know he process when someone dies unexpectedly without a funeral plan or arrangements. The cost was right on and we would highly recommend them to others. They took great care of my brother. Thank you!

    Unexpected death in the family. Impetuously had body moved to this funeral home because of pressure…read morefrom hospital. Body was already at funeral home, and was quoted an astronomical price that was simply out of our budget. Informed Heath and Vaughn that we had no choice but to go with the place that was exponentially cheaper, and asked how much we owe for services rendered (storage of the body etc., had been less than 24hr). Charles Vaughn then completely changed his persona and became angry and went on to ask, "how could we go with someone else when he would be doing the same things". In explaining our financial situation, he then said "you won't even know if you're getting the right body back!" and hung up on me. He hung up me. After watching my loved one die in front of my eyes, unexpectedly less than 24 hours previous, this man says this to me and hangs up on me. I cannot convey the depths of sorrow that I have been in since my loved one died, and no one should ever have to be treated like this at any time. Let alone by someone in the BUSINESS of bereavement. This man has zero sympathy and does not deserve any business. Edit 1: Later that day when WE had to call back AGAIN (they never called to apologize for hanging up on us) to ask about cost of services rendered thus far, we spoke with some assistant who acted as if he had no idea about the exchange with regard to earlier. (Yeah right) At the conclusion of the conversation this person casually mentions that my loved ones body has been sent back to the morgue in the hospital where they died. THEY NEVER CALLED TO INFORM US! APPALLING!
