Sean and Megan are so compassionate and helpful. When I first started the planning process I was overwhelmed with grief (not sleeping or eating well) which resulting in some serious brain fog. They were very patient with me even when I asked the same question over and over or cried to them about my dad. They helped me come up with ideas for my Dad's service and it ended up being a beautiful celebration of life. I am so grateful to them for creating such a wonderful service. Their After Care Service is also fantastic. They help you with anything you need to take care of after a loved one died. They do a lot of it themselves and send you a check list if the things you need to take care of yourself. Very very helpful.

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 am extremely disappointed with the way my family has been treated. After my father's passing, we…read moreexpected professionalism, compassion, and respect. Instead, we experienced the opposite. The funeral home did not confirm a child that was signing for her father had other children, taking her word for it, proceeded to cremate my father without expressing to his other children. when finding that out they asked my brother to sign a cremation paper (to cover them) *after my father had been creamated* someone they claimed was authorized but they apparently failed to properly verify that person's identity or relationship before doing so. As a result, my family has been left dealing with the consequences of what appears to have been a serious mistake. When I emailed seeking answers and a resolution, I reviewed a call met with a hostile and disrespectful attitude, stating to stop emailing her (the owner) Rather than listening to my concerns or offering empathy, or sympathy. I was yelled at more than once over the phone. It was shocking to be treated that way by someone who called herself the owner. while trying to resolve an issue involving my father's remains, that did you help the issue due to consistent yelling and disrupting me and my concerns. and also going back on what had already been told to me from the so called director. both are documented. their big mistake is also documented and according to the state was a huge mistake on their behalf. To make matters worse, instead of taking responsibility for the situation or working toward a solution, they have refused to provide me with my father's ashes until i have paid half of what was already paid for. and have now expressed my brother is not my fathers child because of documentation they failed to ask for but had already had him sign as a son for. Families place an enormous amount of trust in a funeral home during one of the most difficult times of their lives. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this business. I hope they improve their procedures for verifying who is authorized to receive cremated remains and treat grieving families with the dignity and respect they deserve.

My extended family has used them for their services for as long as I can remember. Dicky definitely needs to retire because his heart is not in it anymore and it shows. It took them weeks to cremate my parents, my dad sat in their freezer for weeks waiting on my mom to join him. The medical examiner's office took forever and I had to call to see what was going on. I feel that as much as the funeral home over charges for their services, they should of been the ones checking on my mom. When I called with questions, the staff was not helpful or kind, it was as if I was bugging them. Final straw, we went to pay them and went off the paperwork they gave us with total amounts for my parents. I called to double check on amounts and it went up. I called to see why it went up and both girls could not explain it to me. Waited for Dicky to call me with an explanation and I still have not received a call back, it's been 3 days. I understand that we all have our own problems in life but if you can't conduct yourself in an professional, kind manner, you really need to retire! You are in the business where people are heart broken over the loss of love ones and being treated in the way I was, Shame on you all!
