You were not supposed to have certain things out, but we have noticed within the past six months that the people with the ground headstones put whatever They want out including glass flags (which my grandfather who is in Pearl Harbor, his American flag gets taken every time we put it up) we went today on Mother's Day and there were people having a full blown block party with a barbecue and music. I understand this certain types of celebration of life, but there is a time in place in a cemetery is not the place. It was extremely disrespectful gutwrenching and beyond upsetting to the point where I was crying I have complained about this before and nothing has gotten done we can't put out simple things that are in the rules without being taken Yet the people with the ground headstones can do whatever they like. So I would like to know how much extra I would have to pay to have my stuff be able to stay because I don't see any other option. This is both me and my father's plots as well and to see what the future has to hold is absolutely sickening.

The death of a loved one is extremely difficult and presents a gamut of emotions and feelings…read more Grief differs with each person experiencing it. My experience with Victoria, who is the funeral director, was negative. She was unprofessional, discourteous, and unhelpful. She never asked me once if I would like to write an obituary for my loved one. Please beware of this place. They lack empathy, compassion, and kindness. I regret doing business with them.

The team of Victoria and Kevin perform and deliver at a level that is out of the bounds of the word…read moreprofessional. From the moment I spoke to Kevin, on the phone , I knew the Ward Funeral Home was the right place to attend to the preparation of my recently departed family member. Kevin held a very compassionate and direct initial conversation detailing the services offered and the prices. At a time like this the price of final arrangements can be key and the up front pricing was very much so appreciated. The initial face to face meeting with Kevin, at the funeral home, was pleasant and he took care not to allow any external distractions to take away from the time spent getting our arrangements in place. Constant communication was maintained with the Victoria and Kevin over the phone and via email; delivering prompt responses to questions and rapid call backs if you reached their answering service. On the days of the funeral and wake the team preformed with military precision yet were not noticed by the attendees of the events. Their staff organized parking to ease the creation of the procession and directed traffic so we were able to all proceed to the cemetery with ease. I can not say enough about the service my family and I were delivered by the Ward team. If you are looking for a compassionate, understanding, and easy (under the circumstances) process then the J.F Ward funeral home is where you should go.

Secondly…read morethe lady that announces the progression of the service is the least caring person I've ever encountered. I understand it's a business and things to to move along but I have never Experienced such blatant rudeness! Literally after the priest was done she marched right up to the front of the room with a scowl on her face and announced to the us that the service has ended kindly return to your cars..it was said in such a rude way it caught me off guard and pretty much everyone else in the room. Then she stood in the hallway eyeing people with the same scowl I assume it was to make people feel uncomfortable so they would leave. Again I understand you do need to move people along but this is certainly not the way to do it. The only star I give goes to the kind elderly gentleman that opened the door he was very nice. I've been to many wakes and would never ever suggest this place to anyone. With so many other options out there I highly suggest to go elsewhere.
