A funeral is never an easy thing to plan, especially when you lose a loved one unexpectedly. My…read morefriend's husband recently passed away and I accompanied her to plan his service. The man we met with was so genuine and gentle in his approach, which we greatly appreciated at such a delicate time. He listened to exactly what my friend wanted and more importantly, gently guided her in the decision making process because this was so unexpected and her husband was so young, a service was not something they had discussed before. She didn't really know what she wanted but the guidance she was provided was perfect. No high pressure sales tactics, every option was presented and she was allowed to choose within her budget without any judgment. Everything was carried out exactly as planned and the service was very nice. There were a lot of options as far as different spaces and the one we selected with the help of the funeral planner was perfect for her needs. The staff was very warm and welcoming. No high pressure sales, which I know other people have experienced at other funeral homes. Bottom line, no one wants to need the services of a funeral home but should you need to plan a memorial, this Rabenhorst is a very warm, caring place to do so.

I've gone back and forth on writing this and gave myself time to think. I'm still appalled by this…read moreso I've decided to write this review. While I'm very glad other had a good experience I was really disappointed with the way I was treated. I went here on the coroner recommendations after discovering my father's death. When we arrived 2 days later and was told the amount. I was a little disoriented and ask if we would be able to have time to raise the money. I was 21 and didn't have $2,000 to just spend all at once. The women looked me in the eyes and said "we have had your father here for a week. If you can't afford this we need to make other arrangements". First, I was the one to find my father dead two days ago there is no way you've had him for a week. Second, I was asking for time to raise money from family and friends and possibly take out a loan not saying I couldn't pay. If I couldn't pay I would agree but at the time family members were already reaching out to help pay for it and again I could get a loan. My father died unexpectedly so I was in no way prepared to pay funeral arrangements. After some discussion she reluctantly agreed to give us some time but that didn't stop her from calling me everyday. I'm a daughter grieving the death of her father and being called everyday by a women asking about money. I was so thankful that the money was raised quickly (less than a week) without me having to take out a loan simple so I wouldn't have to deal with this woman any more. This situation should have been handled better. You shouldn't lie to someone about how long you've had their family member. Even if it was a mistake you need to watch what you say and have your facts straight because that was still rude and a horrible thing to say to the person who found them. Lastly, under no circumstances should you call a person 1-3 times a day asking about payments while they are grieving. It got to points were I would just hand my fiancé the phone and have him speak on my behalf. I would never recommend this place to anyone and I will never being going back here. My father would have been livid about the way I was treat and that's all I can think about now when I think about putting him to rest. That's all I have to say.

While I appreciate the fact that the people here will help you with obtaining headstones,…read moremonuments, mausoleums, ledgers and the like for dearly departed loved ones, I find that some of the people working here are incredibly insensitive. I was here today to get a headstone for my mom (r.i.p.). While the man who assisted us was very helpful I was extremely offended and showed great restraint when he inquired about the health of my dad. I told him that my dad is ill with multiple myeloma, which is why he didn't accompany us and the very next words out of this guy's mouth are "he's not going to survive that". What the F--?! You don't say that to someone. While it is true that none of us are going to live forever, to boldly say that to a person is incredibly rude and hurtful even if that's not the intention. While the service was good, the employees need some sensitivity training.

My brother and I had a horrible experience here when our father passed and, given the nature of…read moregrief, it's only after everything occurred that we realize how terribly we were ripped off. Most distressingly, we'd wanted to know when our father was being cremated. Both of us called several times to find out when, and were assured that we would receive a call. I viewed his cremation as a sacred time and wanted to observe it myself with stillness and prayer. No one ever called us. Instead, we got a call the day before the funeral telling us to come and pick up his ashes. I was frustrated by this huge oversight, but of course, nothing can be done now. In addition, had to pay 60% of today's value of a plot we already own (from our brother who passed in 2003) to have my father's ashes interred in the same plot. We were sold a $500 solid bronze urn for my father's ashes -- and it came to us with a Made in China sticker on it, covered in a cheap velvet cloth that had a hole in it. If we could do it over again, I would have taken the ashes myself and sprinkled them -- at no cost -- on the plot we already owned at Greenoaks.
