If I could give 0 stars I would. Andrews Funeral Home has strung out me and my family for nearly 5…read moreYEARS for the creation and placement of a simple gravestone for my father who passed away in early 2021 and then for my mother who passed away in mid-2025. I am not local so I can only communicate with them via email and phone and they often simply ignore emails and don't return phone calls. I was also lied to by Mr. Andrews who told me last August (2025) that my father's stone had been engraved and placed and that he would send a photo of it to me. He never sent a photo and I only learned within the last week from the church where my father is buried that he still doesn't have a stone. I reported Andrews Funeral Home to the Better Business Bureau of Hampton Roads and also to the Virginia state department that licenses funeral homes and funeral directors. Andrews Funeral Home should not be in business if they can't create a simple gravestone and lie to their customers. I'm now the 4th Yelp reviewer with the same complaint. I hope you see this and the other reviews before doing any business with Andrews Funeral Home.

Our family lost our beloved granddad last September…read more We went to Andrew's Funeral Home to get his headstone because they have taken care of my family for over 60 years. When we ordered everything, there were several mistakes on the original form which was corrected before we left. The funeral home advised that since the headstone is coming from the VA it will 4 to 6 months. Fast forward 6 months, we contacted the home and they said they are still waiting on the VA. Fastfoward to August 2025, my mom went to the funeral home to speak to them about the delay. The guy just shrugged his shoulders and said he had no records, he said he sent the originals back in August or September of last year which is impossible because we didnt bury him until end of October 2024. He never apologized or took accountability for their sloppy work and disrespect to my Granddad and my family. Im absolutely disgusted with this company and they should be ashamed of how they run this business.... during times of loss, people should be shown kindness and compassion. For some, this is the hardest thing to go through and no one should have to worry about a funeral home not doing what was ordered and discussed. He should really get out of this line of business. His dad wouldn't have allowed this kind of mistake or lack of compassion. SHAME ON YOU!

It's hard to choose this or that for a loved one gone on before. But Doral (rhymes with Coral) was an amazing help. His brother David also a tremendous help. You truly have to know how to comfort this who are grieving yet take them through each step in the process in a timely manner. Covid restrictions are in place, hand sanitizer stations. These people have the patience of saints. Everything was beautiful.

Words can not express the gratitude that my family and I have for how Chris Stone and his staff…read morehandled all of the arrangements for my father's viewing and funeral service. He paid attention to every detail and the event was absolutely beautiful! We could not be happier with the outcome! Each time we had a question, he had already thought about it and handled it. He was literally 20 steps ahead of everything. We thank the team for making sure that my father received his military recognition. What a beautiful and honorable ending to the celebration of his life. I know that he would have been so proud. Having to bury your loved one is such an emotional time for families and close friends. It is hard to continue to do daily tasks, yet alone plan a funeral. He took away the burden of having to think about the details and allowed my family and I to grieve but, still enjoy the ceremonies. We knew that he was on it and we didn't have to worry. This is a gift that he gives to families that seek funeral services and we are truly grateful.

Whiting's Funeral Home took amazing care of us from start to finish. We were expecting a cumbersome and difficult process and we got none of that. Whiting's was engaged with us from start to finish. As soon as we notified them that our loved one passed, they were able to connect with emergency personnel to ensure that our love one was brought into their care. They not only knew what to do, but knew how to treat us as a family. Chris was absolutely amazing, he was compassionate, caring, and as we requested was diligent in the process so our heartache was not prolonged. Our family member was a veteran, so those arrangements were coordinated. So we were able to honor our father with a military salute at the funeral, as he deserved. Our loss occurred during COVID, so we were able to celebrate our father's life outdoors and it was absolutely a beautiful ceremony. Chris kept us informed, asked us questions about what we wanted from the program, to the music, to attendees. Again, losing a love one is a terrible thing, but having a funeral home that allows you to feel comfortable, is patient, is supportive and helpful, provides guidance, and makes you feel like family made the process smooth and effortless on our end. I would recommend Whiting's and Chris was fantastic, he helped us through a difficult time and made a process that could have been extremely mentally and emotionally draining, one that I can say made our family more at peace with our loss during such a hard time.

She blew me off, and told me to "contact the funeral home." The funeral home didn't even know you were having a service. This place is shady as hell, keeping information from next of kin and denying me access to my mother's service, for which I was never notified. As bad as it gets. Never would recommend these jerks.

Even after asking, if my mother died before the payment was paid, what would happen. The lady from Peninsula Memorial Park then responded with, that will be ok! You will be making payments! The day after my mother passed, myself and my grieving family came to complete agreement of burial. Upon arrival, they made it known quite frankly the payment plans, now did not matter, which was not what was understood prior. The young man that assisted us was very kind and compassionate. The General Manager named Steve Brown was the complete opposite. We, the grieving family, came with our concerns of this great misunderstanding that was not made clear, and he was extremely disrespectful and told us to just go use some other cemetery. As my mother's wish, she loved this cemetery. So my family and I had to come up with this money for as he told us, we had 24 hours or she would not be buried. Please re-consider doing business with Peninsula Memorial Park. I hope they begin showing the utmost respect by making it clear just what the family will be expected to do and will be getting and great empathy these hurting families need during the hardest time in their lives. They need to find another general manager that actual cares more about people and less about money.

I tried to look up reviews online, but did not see many, so thought it important to provide one after our experience. After visiting several homes, we decided on Altmeyer primarily because of its location. The staff, especially Brandon and Ed, was great and supportive. They took care of our needs and provided some special little touches for our father's memorial service. I would definitely recommend them to others. Just be ready to negotiate on costs. Altmeyer's costs were the highest in our initial review, but they were willing to adjust their prices to be competitive.
