In June 2024, my family experienced one of the most heartbreaking losses of our lives; the passing…read moreof our beloved mother. In the midst of that pain, we were guided with grace, compassion, and extraordinary care by Martin Thompson & Son Funeral Home & Crematory in Fort Worth. What they did for our family went far beyond a service; they gave us comfort, dignity, and peace during an unimaginably hard time. Payton, in particular, was a godsend. From the moment she stepped in to help, she treated us with warmth and empathy that felt like an embrace. She didn't just fulfill her duties; she went above and beyond, staying in contact with us after hours, making sure every step of the process was handled gently, respectfully, and with deep understanding. When we learned that our mother would need to be transported from Houston; a four-hour drive away. Martin Thompson & Son didn't hesitate. They made the trip themselves, a gesture that spoke volumes about their dedication. Not only did they care for her transport, they worked seamlessly with the private cemetery where our family plot is located, ensuring every detail was handled with precision and grace. Perhaps the most touching act was Payton's careful, loving work in preparing our mother for a private family viewing. Because of the condition she was in, we didn't know if it would be possible to see her again in a way that felt peaceful. But Payton made it possible. She restored her in such a gentle, dignified way that we were able to say goodbye in peace, seeing our mother as we remembered her: serene, whole, and beautiful. I truly cannot say enough about the extraordinary care we received. Martin Thompson & Son didn't just provide a funeral service; they gave us compassion, attention to every detail, and a space where we felt supported and seen. They treat families with a level of personal connection and respect that is rare and deeply needed in times of loss. If you are facing the unimaginable and need a team that will walk with you not just professionally but humanely; this is the place. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you, Payton, and everyone at Martin Thompson & Son. You helped us carry the weight of our grief, and we will be forever grateful!!

I highly recommend this company, as their price is about 1/4 the price of a funeral home cremation…read more Their were prompt even though they had to come to Granbury to pick up for transportation to their facility in the middle of the night. I was a bit taken aback when a hearse arrived with two gentlemen who said they worked for a funeral home came to the door; then they quickly told they do pick ups for Lone Star. They were kind, polite and considerate. After I was notified, I drove to their facility to pick up my husbands ashes, and received the death certificates. They had also notified Social Security about the change in status, and I received SSA without any change in schedule. I highly recommend this company. I was able to make all the arrangements over the internet and pay with a credit card.

All I did was forward the previous emails to them and they finally got it. They dragged out the process so I have to wait 10-14 days longer than I should have to get the death certificates. They didn't guarantee a specific date, but their estimate of 7-10 days turned into two weeks. When I went to pick up my wife's ashes she was just in a paper bag on the floor with many others. Watching her haphazardly search through the bags on the floor was horrifying. I would not recommend their service to anyone.

The current owners have *not* owned Blessing since 1944. Different families did, and the difference between the service those families provided, and what's now offered, is glaring. 2nd, please, please, PLEASE, read other reviews about the company that currently owns Blessing, and pay close attention to how many people say their loved ones looked wrong, or disappointing, because that's the sad truth of it. They take your loved one from wherever they expire and pack them away in a so-called "care center" in a completely different city, only returning them hours before visitation or service when it's too late to correct their appearance. Our family member was unrecognizable, and had discolorations that weren't present at their time of death. We never had the impression that they cared about the treatment of our loved ones, at all. They added to the stress of the moment, rather than making things easier. When my grandmother died years ago, they were downright rude to me, and other relatives were treated similarly with our more recent experience.

Moore what would you want to happen if you were in my place, Christie told me. MY MOM IS ALIVE, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD FEEL. If that is not the rudest, most hateful thing you can tell a person who just lost their mom. This is supposed to be a colleague of mine. I would never ever say anything so hurtful to anyone in my life. I met Christie K. Moore at a professional training. When my mother passed on 03/31/23 I contacted her to help with the arrangements. I met with Myeshia and paid $12,0018 for the arrangements, travel to Tulsa, and the burial plot. When we go to the graveside gazebo, my mom was already there waiting on us. After the celebration, they put my mom in a white van that had trash inside. They drove her to her final resting place and pull her out of the back of a white van with trash on the inside of it. Every funeral I have attended had a hearse, but my mom was pulled out of a white van with trash. At no time was I told the service car would be a van. I spoke with the man who came from Texas and said, why wasn't my mom in a hearse, why you pulled her out of a van? This is terrible. He said, "I am sorry, if you wanted a hearse, I could have gotten you one." Why wouldn't I want a hearse, it's a funeral. They were not packing meat across state lines. I then sent Christie a message about my embarrassment and heartbreak the same day of the funeral. She responds we can talk, so on today, we talked. I told her how I felt and that I couldn't sleep because it was so disrespectful for my mom to be in the back of a dirty van. I also stated Tulsa was my mom's hometown and I was so embarrassed. I told her, I can only bury my mom once, we can't redo this and I feel very embarrassed because this is a funeral and we did not expect nor were we told that she would be in a van. She again said I am sorry, we believe in excellence, etc. At no time, did she offer any refund or anything, just an apology. When I asked what would you want to happen if you were in my place. She told me. MY MOM IS ALIVE, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD FEEL. If that is not the rudest, most hateful thing you can tell a person who just lost their mom. This is supposed to be a colleague of mine. I would never ever say anything so hurtful to anyone in my life. I was asking from a point of customer service or as a business owner, not to hear, you don't know how to feel, because your mom is alive. I am so hurt by that comment, I started to cry. I would NEVER use them again. Now, Bri, who did my mom's makeup deserves 100 stars, but how Christie handled the situation with me, deserves 0 stars for her lack of empathy
