We had an unexpected death in my small family of a relatively healthy 28-yr-old. The whole family…read morewas already struggling just paying basic bills and no one had money for funeral expenses. We called all over the Opelika-Auburn-Columbus area and the only funeral home willing to work with us and allow payments over six months for the service & burial costs was Frederick's. They made it possible to lay our loved one to rest next to other family members. Today we made the last payment but we will always be grateful to them.

My husband passed a year ago this past November. It's taken me this long to think about my review…read moreinstead of reacting in the moment. When selecting a funeral home I selected this one mainly because my hubby wished to be cremated and the crematory was on site. In our meeting, I was highly disappointed in the behavior of the director for several reasons. First, when I mentioned I had read all about cremations on google, his comment was that's where I made a mistake. Not only was that not called for but so very untrue. I learned so many things I did not know. I was as able to ask to see my husband which I did. He seemed surprised but let me. Then his cell phone rang and he proceeded to carry on a conversation with his wife when he should have said I'll have to call you back. Instead they talked about lunch. I ask if he needed to excuse himself. I ask to see the crematory for the purpose of cleanliness. He did take me down to it but also proceeded to take the clipboard off the wall to show me how they log who's in there and I knew this from google. You could see the clipboard so no need to remove it to the point I could read the persons name. He proceeded to open the crematory itself after I ask him please not to knowing someone's remains were in there. At that point I was absolutely devastated thinking to myself what would their family think along with the invasion of privacy. I went home thinking very hard if I wanted to have my husband picked up and taken somewhere else. I chose to stay there and discuss my concerns afterward and we did. You also have the right to view the cremation process and take part in process. I elected to see my hubby's care until the end and my son and the crematorium placed him up on the roller and I pushed the crematory button to start the process. Something I still do not regret. The crematorium assured me it would not be opened until his remains were removed. When I picked up his remains they were in a black box where the lid did not even fit securely. It kept coming off. It had to be taped shut. I special ordered his urn so I elected to move him over myself at home once it came in. I will say the response time to the Bethany House was incredible. And he was able to get the casket I picked out from Montgomery before the next morning and my husband looked at peace in it. I was very satisfied with the great job they did preparing him. And the director did apologize although he also made excuses along the way. So off to a rocky start but all worked out in the end. A year ago I would have rated them a 1. I do think this is probably an amazing place. Everyone else couldn't have been more respectful. Hopefully the director and his wife learned a few things during my journey.

I have been visiting Evergreen Memorial for 15 years, 18 October 2011. In the beginning the grounds…read morewere kept up, grass cut, plots taken care of and the original owner was very nice. He brought me a chair because I would stand out there visiting My Momma gravesite for hours....everyday. There was about 5 gravesites near My Momma's that had sunk in from the rain. They finally fixed those gravesites after I had to bring it to their attention. I have been calling the office staff and talking to one of the groundsmen about the cemetery not being taken care of. I met a man who was visiting his son's gravesite and we talked. He told me that the Mr. Remrick had passed and he was allowing the groundsmen to use his lawn mowers and sometimes he would cut the grass because Evergreens' lawn mowers were not working. He told me to call and report it and I called 411 and was given a lady's name and phone number at the government center, and until this day that person has NEVER returned my calls from the messages I left. I don't know when he passed, but after his passing the grounds have NOT been taken care of at all. I saw pictures online and read the story and I wrote a comment to him and told him his pictures or a lie. i told him I go out to Evergreen everyday and that he should not promote lies and when people get there it is a total different look. He apologized and said he would take them down. I don't know if he did or not, but I did let him know those pictures were lies. The groundsmen are only seen when they are digging for a burial. I stopped and asked one of them on 8 September 2026 about him not taking care of My Momma's gravesite as he said he would do. He said it was being taken care of. I said yes, that is because I have been cutting and trimming around My Momma's gravesite. He told me that they have cut their hours, his landlord is on him because he has not paid his rent. He hasn't paid his rent because he has not been paid by Evergreen in a month. On 13 September 2026, I met Sandra and we were talking about how the grounds were not taken care of and how bad it is looking. I don't know exactly what it is called but she showed me a picture of something being broken. I shared my stories as did she too about how long the grounds have not been taken care of. The folks in the office don't care and of course if the groundsmen are not getting paid, they don't either. I told her I called them a couple of months ago and asked why the grass had not been cut. She told me the grass was cut today. I said that is a lie, because I am standing out here now and it has not been touched. She said there would be a work order put in for them to cut the grass. I came the next day and the grass was not cut. It took about 4-5 days before the grounds were cut. They have lied that it has been raining the reason the grass has not been cut. Sandra and I will bring some attention to this matter that has been going on for way too long and hopefully some action will be taken and kept up.

Very helpful gentleman offered us a ride on a golf cart to the front of the building. I think I obtained a whiplash from that uphill ride. It still was helpful to us and good customer service. We passed one room where a funeral service was in progress. It seemed to be nice and adequate. In the lobby, after passing a beautiful stain glass window, we found a front desk and got some assistance from there. The viewing room was simple but had a beautifully painted water scenery on the wall, simple but nice furniture, and a stand for the quest book. Flower arrangements were placed neatly around the coffin. This beautiful old lady looked so dignified in her coffin. Of course the family had provided her clothing, a hat, jewelry and gloves. Lipstick was perfect and every piece of her hair was fixed professionaly. I was told that this was her style, so the funeral home had done an amazing job to prepare her for her final " walk through the Pearly Gates."

Apparently, GA law trumps the contract McMullen sells and they don't bother to tell you this when you are paying in FULL for YOUR OWN FUNERAL.

They also provide nonchalant and callous explanations to grieving loved ones who are naturally upset that the preplanned and paid in full funeral that they witnessed the deceased arrange is changed AFTER a meeting where all agreed, and no notice was sent about the change. They even go to the extent of saying, oh you'd be surprised how many people we make mad...like it's some badge of honor or humble brag.
