Our experience was not great. It started out ok when we made the plans for our mother prior to her…read moredeath. However, Despite my brother being the one who signed the papers, paid for the service, received the empty urn that was shipped to him to store until the time came, he was suddenly not allowed to speak with anyone or even pick up Mom's cremains without my permission. This was extremely concerning for us. When Mom passed the transporters took 4+ hours to come to Charlottesville from Richmond with very little communication as we waited. One positive is that they put her head on a quilted pillow and covered her with a pretty quilt to remove her. At the time of transport, we were asked if we wanted them to save a lock of hair or get her fingerprint, we chose the fingerprint. However, it was not included with her cremains. That can't be remedied. We asked for 4 death certificates. 2 came with the cremains but something happened that the other 2 were not included. They were shipped to my house requiring a signature, which meant I had to be home to receive it. I only hope that those who handled the actual cremation were more competent.

In 2009, my mother and my stepfather prepaid $1895.00 each for transport and cremation services to…read moreAnderson Funeral Services in Crozet, Virginia. When my stepfather died in December 2024, John Anderson Jr. (Funeral Director) told my mother she would have to pay an additional $800.00 for a variety of items she did not request (Including a new body bag he stated was legally mandated, which is false.) When I and other family members met with him to ask for an explanation as to why there were more charges on a prepaid plan, he was defensive, evasive, profoundly unsympathetic and unprofessional. He insisted that the business is his mother's, and that he knew nothing about the prepaid agreements. He was unable and/or unwilling to pull any files he should have had from the prepaid arrangement. He never answered any of our questions, claimed he was being attacked, and professed to hating his job. He told my mother he would drop the charges to $200, and asked if "that would make her happy?", as if we were negotiating a bar tab. Upon examination, we realized that the original documents for my parents were not even actual contracts, and that most likely none were ever created. The grief we were experiencing was compounded by the unfeeling and sarcastic attitude of Mr. Anderson, and the knowledge that the remains of our loved one was in the hands of someone who was untruthful and totally disgruntled about his occupation and having to perform it. Anderson Funeral Service failed to provide an actual contract and attempted to extract money for services that were included in the prepaid agreement. I am extremely concerned that the unethical, if not illegal, actions of Anderson Funeral Service will continue to be perpetrated on other vulnerable families.

They handle a spectrum of tree issues - and yes - they remove trees too! But I love their professionalism, their skill and just being a great and good family business.

I highly recommend Van Yahres!
