They do not have a map to show location of burial site. They gave vague directions, such as in front of masoleum. There are many, many graves in front of masoleum.

Employees should know layout of cemetery. I have been to many cemeteries and if they don't have a map, they give detailed directions, such as, park by the tree and go up 6 rows. How difficult could that be? It is a small cemetery after all.

You may also be interested in cremation. Direct cremation is the service alone, and families gather privately to spread the ashes or say their goodbyes. You can plan a cremation with a memorial ceremony, which is similar to a funeral service. It is vital to offer a formal goodbye to loved ones who are looking for closure during the grieving process. Grief resources are available to aid in the shock and sadness that comes after losing a loved one. The funeral planning staff is happy to fill out the necessary paperwork for veteran services and military honors. You can also plan a life celebration to focus on the joyful parts of the life of the deceased in a more casual setting. Whichever way you choose to honor their life, know that you will have the full support of the funeral planning staff.

There were SO MANY things that should have been done differently. They might have been able to accomodate us on most of it, however, during such a difficult time, shouldn't they be the ones to ask us all the questions? ie: Her obituary was so poorly written, I am embarrassed to show it to anyone. I would've been happy to have written it myself instead of the very short, very basic facts that they provided. We are all Protestant, yet there was a kneeler placed right in front of her casket as well as a Catholic cross on the wall. She had on bright lipstick and fingernail polish; she never wore either. My son-in-law had to run their sound system because none of them knew how. Really? If you use Downing, may I suggest maybe finding a checklist of some sort online? They are supposed to be the professionals, but I felt maybe they were in the wrong profession.

I cannot imagine have done this without the LOVE and support Brewer and Sons funeral home has given to me. Emma the manager there is truly an angel.

The response time to any questions or comments I had was instant. She let me focus on healing my heart while she seriosuly took on everything. I am lost for words at what all to even say but I know the amount of praise still would not be enough expression of how helpful and truly blessed I am and my family is with the love and dedication she put into these arrangements for my nana. Emma thank you for making days better, healing quicker and taking this heartache into your hands and handling it with grace, professionalism and mostly love. You will forever be remembered for your love and I just thank you.

We went in to sign paperwork and the lady acted like we were picking out furniture rather than cremating our baby boy. The cost doubled from the original estimate. I had to call repeatedly the next week to figure out where he was and when we could come pick up his remains. No one seemed to know!! Every time I'd have to call it was incredibly painful to have his life so disrespected. Why didn't I receive any updates or proactive calls?

Director Steven Roosevelt referred us to the Brooksville location and initially helped us with ideas on what kind of service we could have. Tammy Tolbert took our family under her wing with the help of Ryan Brewer and their phenomenal staff we were able to give my father a personalized memorable and meaningful home going service. Many were unable to travel during COVID19 but Brewer & Sons went above and beyond for our family during this difficult time in our lives. We were referred to a local nondenominational Reverend who officiated the service. Rev. Dr. Jerry Jones. He was wonderful. The staff pieced together a beautiful slide show tribute we were able to share online with friends and family as well as our father's obituary. Our package included a dove release in which the children took part in releasing beautiful doves into the sky. We were given a beautiful frame with the prayer in it to remember the service. We had a repass following the service and the reception space was modern, clean and perfect. The staff treated everyone with manners, kindness and respect. My cousins shared that she felt she was at a high end hotel. We later had our father buried at their Laurel Oaks Historical Masaryktown cemetery. A beautiful tranquil location. Exactly what we wanted for our father and I know without a shadow of a doubt my father would be pleased. We will be working with Ryan Brewer on designing our father's monument. Brewer was an answer to a prayer for us.
