He explained the services that they would perform that basically included everything from beginning to end.

She handled everything in a timely manner and was very nice to deal with. She sped up the cremation to make it all work out for us and we are eternally grateful. This funeral home was much more reasonable than alot I had called. Thank you for all of your great customer service!! Kelly & Todd LeBlond

Her prices on the sheet are not totally. Still have to add more $. Also, Baldwin Brothers price is much higher than Coast to Coast. I bought a plan from Coast to Coast as the lady, Danielle was very professional, not pushy at all and efficiently and respectful. They also have good reviews from Yelp and Google.

Unfortunately, when a loved one dies, we only have one opportunity to find reputable funeral…read moreservices. We chose unwisely. My father passed a few weeks ago and my family called Horizon Funeral Home. Since my dad wanted to be cremated, we needed a crematorium, prayer cards, and help publishing his obituary. When the owner, Frank Ryan, first arrived at my mother's home, he seemed friendly, understanding, and fully capable of meeting our needs. Unfortunately, almost as soon as he cashed her check, the problems began. We were informed that Dad's ashes would not be ready for two weeks -- long past our memorial services. Then, when the ashes were ready, Frank asked my mother to drive the 30 minutes to his funeral home to pick them up. Although he did eventually concede to deliver the ashes, his employee dropped them at the door in a cardboard box inside of a shopping bag. Because Frank is unfamiliar with the computer software used by his employees to create the prayer cards, it took three days of emails to get accurate proofs. In fact, the cards were not printed until the afternoon before the memorial service -- and even then, I was forced to interrupt a family luncheon and commandeer the restaurant's computer to approve the final layout. Frank told me that, without that approval, we would have no prayer cards. As for the obituaries, although Frank said he called the newspapers we had requested, we were forced to followup with the papers ourselves in order to pay for the space and to be sure the obituaries ran in time for the services. One of the main reasons you engage a funeral director is for assistance at what might be one of the most difficult times in your life. Frank Ryan and Horizon Funeral Home did not help, and, in fact, made those few days even more stressful. I hope that the readers of this review will spread the word, because I really don't want others to suffer through this same experience.

We, the family and friends, were very pleased with both services (even with COVID bring an issue with Margie's service and entombment). I am very sorry for the delay in my thanks to your staff for a job well done. I have visited on several occasions, and the only upsetting issue was the disappearance of the angel charms I leave on each trip, which was a promise to my sister, Margie, after she began her wishes with her husband's loss. I always come prepared with an angel, knowing the one last left will not be there. If you have any suggestions, they would be appreciated. I was just there a couple of weeks ago. While I am addressing you, I was checking my received phone calls a couple of days ago. A gentleman had sent a message that there is a booklet if some kind that was apparently left behind after Margie's entombment giving info about her life that he thought we would like to have. Yes, I would be grateful. If you can tell me when it can be picked up, I will make arrangements for a ride down there to pick it up. I, like Margie, am suffering with Alzheimer's, so I know longer take any chances driving. Thank all the staff who were so very helpful with both services. Please let me know the best time and location to pick up the booklet. Thank you.

My wife flew back that day and along with my parents who used to own/operate a funeral home for many years themselves went with to make final arrangements for her Veteran father. Everybody at Mullins could not have been more knowledgeable, compassionate, caring and professional. When I dropped off my father in laws clothing for his viewing they were insightful of everything we needed right down to his eyeglasses. When we had his final viewing, we again had exceptional compassionate care, service and privacy. They were very affordable and handled all the extra veteran needs to include draping an American Flag. During the viewing there was a severe thunderstorm and brief power outages, but everyone was in good hands. We aren't done yet. My father in law will be cremated and his ashes returned to us as soon as his physician signs off on the death certificate. We anticipate a smooth transition of my father in law and his ashes this next week. We would not hesitate to refer Mullins in family, friends and clients times of need. They were very respectful and deserve 10 stars.

(239) 995-1113 Service: Some time ago, my wife and I decided that in order to minimize angst and stress on each other and our daughter, that we would do the right thing and pre-arrange all our final needs and plans while we had clear heads, unburdened by sense of loss and grief. We completed the process with Melissa, a wonderful professional, whose courtesy left us with no unanswered questions. Soon after, by UPS, two beautifully boxed packages arrived. Each contained a helpful assortment of items including a redwood-like container (urn), as well as an excellent book with planning details. Everything was so well organized. If one of us passes away in another state or even overseas, all arrangements to care for the involved are covered, to return that individual back home. Quality: It's not easy to convey the importance of their quality every step of the way. During our session with Melissa, licensed funeral director Ann introduced herself, which was a nice moment. Value: Everyone has to make up their mind at some point regarding these decisions. To leave these difficult plans to your heirs and your loved ones in my opinion is not the best option. Simply making sure that your plans and wishes are carried out entirely as you want them to be carried out,is a gift; to leave these matters to your family in a time of grief can be avoided by preplanning. Summary: While difficult, the step you take in advance of the actual need is a kind act and will be highly valued by those you spare from making tough decisions in the future. Highly recommended.
