Immediately upon arriving in Memphis, we went straight from the airport to the funeral home, where…read morearrangements were made for us to visit my mother in law. In the days that followed, we returned to finalize the arrangements and had the privilege of being assisted by Charian, Matthew, and Alex. Each of them was kind, patient, supportive, and incredibly thoughtful throughout this painful process. I asked Charian if it would be possible for us to visit my mother in law one more time before returning to California, and she went above and beyond to make that happen. Most importantly, my mother in law was treated with respect, kindness, and dignity, which meant everything to our family. Honoring her wishes, she will be cremated, and Charian is coordinating the arrangements for her to be delivered to us in California. Matthew went out of his way to console my husband and offered him words of comfort and strength during an incredibly difficult time. Alex was also attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail was handled smoothly and respectfully. In addition to the exceptional care we received, the pricing was very reasonable and transparent, which brought us peace of mind during such an overwhelming time. Our experience was nothing short of excellent. I highly recommend Memorial Park Funeral to anyone facing a difficult situation, especially when your highest priority is ensuring your loved one is treated with the respect and care they deserve. Thank you, Memorial Park Funeral, for your compassion and support during this challenging time.

There are three chapels available for services (livestream is at your request only), and a spacious well lit area for the repast. A funeral is expensive, and I like that Serenity offers several packages to choose caskets, urns, limo service, flowers, programs, meals for the repast, and other preferences for your service. **Note that programs and burial services are through a third party. The cemetery is your choice and there IS one less than 5 minutes (literally 3 right turns) from Serenity. The programs were well put together, and you review before the final print. You also preview the body before visitation, and the mortician did a BEAUTIFUL job! My significant hangup with Serenity is the lack of organization amongst the staff. The staff was friendly, but with every visit we had to speak with a different person. This made for significant slip ups on the numbers, missing our same day burial date (even though it worked out in the end), misinformation on updates, program reviews, and information with the cemetery that was thankfully caught by us before signing the final copy! I believe having ONE liaison would've been best to keep information timely, accurate and give us as clients more confidence in the employee. Despite the lack of organization with the staff, the service was amazing. It left a great impression with us, the family and other guests. The chapel was beautiful and she looked gorgeous. The repast was classy and food excellent. I consider the experience with the staff a lesson in how to plan for next time. I'll leave a few tips here: 1. Know what the person wants before their passing. Awkward, but the guiding light for planning and budgets. It's VERY easy to let your feelings write the checks. Remember, it IS a business. 2. Take a friend or family member(s), preferably with funeral planning experience and knew the deceased. Serenity also has sample obituaries so you can see sizes and how the colors look on print. 3. Stay on top of information, even if you have to go over it again and again and again before you sign a final ANYTHING!

Memphis Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens offers their best where loved ones can hold their wake in one of their chapel rooms with a projection screen & projector available to show us the best of times our loved ones celebrated life with us through slideshow imeragy and video. The staff here was incredibly kind & had everything organized & arranged when it came to holding service for our beloved classmate we hold near and dear to our heart. When it comes to their cemetery grounds they are well landscaped. I would say I hope I never have to come here again (I say that with all funeral homes) But death is inevitable & when it comes time to lay another loved one to rest. I would entrust them with their services in the future & would recommend those looking for a place to hold their wake. I hope this review was helpful & to the yelpers reading this may your loved ones rest in peace.

Avoid having Aaron Hazen as your funeral director. When funeral arrangements were made for my Mom,…read moreI had ordered a fingerprint keepsake necklace. I've been asking about an update on this necklace since it's been almost two months since she passed away. I finally received a call back today with a BS apology and an offer for a refund because they didn't bother to get her fingerprints to make the necklace. I'm totally devastated at the lack of care and concern from this funeral director. This isn't a "I lost your luggage" or something small. This is a keepsake that I could reach down to my necklace and be able to feel my Mom's fingerprint. Angie; his manager, states she's already disciplined Him this morning. Oh wonderful, a slap on the wrist for wrecking someone emotionally and failing to perform his job properly And causing family undue stress and emotional devastation all over again. This funeral director's care and concern for the lost loved one and family should be top priority when in the funeral business. They also placed her marker without calling to let us know her marker had been placed. This devastated and upset my stepdad when he went out to visit her and not expecting the marker to have been placed. Corporate has been contacted because the BS I'm sorry and. You'll get a refund doesn't cut it. If you can't perform your job correctly for something so devastating to a family, you don't deserve to work there and handle such sensitive business. Thank you Aaron Hazen for breaking my heart all over again because of your lack to perform your job correctly.

I DEFINITELY would NOT recommend this funeral home! My father passed away 2 and 1/2 months ago and…read morehis ashes were to be shipped to me. I was told there was a $50 charge for that and as soon as they received payment they would immediately send him. I called a week after mailing payment to make sure they received it and yes they did, but they could not ship him because they "ran out of special shipping boxes and had to order them." Ok, that's fine....two weeks later...no shipment, so I called again. "We got the boxes in, but you'll never believe this...we ran out of labels! And those have been ordered." Still waiting....cremated remains have yet to be shipped. My take on the whole situation is that they need the extra money and they'll take it any way they can get it....$50 at a time.

Full-service funerals include visitations, funeral ceremonies, and graveside ceremonies at the burial sites. If you would like to skip the extras and go straight to burial, that is no problem. Similarly, cremation services can include a memorial ceremony where your family can gather in a formal setting. Or you can choose cremation as a standalone service in direct cremation. Military honors and veteran services can always be implemented into the services, with the funeral planning team filling out all the necessary paperwork. As you are finalizing plans, be ready to choose urns, vaults, memorials, and caskets. The planning team can guide you through these choices, as well as plan for any other costs that may come up during the process.

Setting up a funeral is nothing anyone looks to, but it is a part of life and a tough part of life, so it is wonderful when there is someone who takes good care of those who love someone and they really provide outstanding service and are understanding. The funeral home was very nice, the bathrooms were clean and everything went very well. Whoever did the work on my mother in-law did a beautiful job, she looked wonderful during the wake. The following day during the procession M. J. Edwards Stage Road Chapel provided us two limos to our home, then to the church memorial service and then drove us to the West Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee and then drove us back to our house. Seriously, these guys were outstanding. I will stop at there. If you are looking for a wonderful funeral home. I would highly recommend these guys for your loved ones. They truly care.
