These people are INCOMPETENT LIARS and FRAUDS. Their CyFair location is less than 2 minutes from me and I chose them to handle my father's arrangements without reading any of these reviews. In our initial meeting, 9/30/17, we discussed billing and I showed them an insurance policy that could cover the costs of the services but also let them know I could pay out of pocket. That same day they had me sign a blank contract and a blank assignment form for the insurance should I decide to pay that way. The next day I called the insurance to ask how the assignment form worked. They advised me to not do the assignment form saying that many funeral homes overbill and that it was better to pay them in person after confirming a total amount. I spoke to the "fill-in" director, Raymond, and informed him that I did not want them to bill the insurance via an assignment form and he said he would have my actual director, Reed, void the assignment form. Three weeks later, I still had not received the death certificates or my final invoice/contract so I called on 3 occasions to ask when these would be available so I could make my payment and pick up the death certificates. I was given the run around each time. I ended up having to go to the vital statistics office and sit in there for 3 hours. They informed me that funeral homes only have 10 days to complete the death certificate or the state gets involved. So at this point the state got involved. I had to return 2 days later after the state completed the death certificate. Wait, it gets much better... A few days later the insurance company contacted me to inform me that they were sending out a payment to both me and the funeral home. I was confused as to why they were sending a payment to Klein as there was no valid assignment form authorizing them to take money. The insurance company informed me that the funeral did in fact send them an assignment and what's more... it was NOTARIZED. I specifically expressed that I did not want them billing the insurance and I certainly never signed anything before a notary!! Come to find out, Klein had the document, that was supposed to be voided, ILLEGALLY NOTARIZED and sent it to the insurance company. To make matters even worse they had billed more than $2000 than what the services actually were! When I contacted Klein to ask why they had done this, they were rude, lied several times, and tried to spin it as if I had done something wrong. The funeral director, Reed, lied saying that he was the notary who had signed the assignment form and that he never received notice that it should have been voided. He went on to say that he had been notarizing documents for over 20 years and nothing was illegal about him signing it. I had the insurance company forward me the document and upon review he in fact WAS NOT the person who notarized the document!!! Some lady, whom I'd never met or even talked to, by the name of Kathleen Schultz did. I went even further as to check the Secretary of State's notary database and Reed was not even listed as an active notary!!! He just plain LIED! When I confronted him with this information he quickly directed me to speak to his manager and that he did not want to be on the call any further. The manager Daryl Stessfield, contacted also trying to maintain that they had done nothing illegal although at this point it was clear they had. When I asked for Kathleen's number (the notary) he acted as though he didn't know where her office was or how to reach her. I found out that her office is actually right inside the funeral home. Upon contacting Kathleen the next day, she said she was completely unaware that this was taking place as read more
