I was disappointed with several things working with this funeral home. The man that helped us when…read moremy brother came to prepay had to print the quote 3 times due to errors we caught. he couldn't tell us how many people the chapel held! Then shortly after when my brother died we met with the funeral director and, thankfully, they hadn't prepared his body for viewing like his notes said because we clearly stated he was to be cremated. I was most disappointed in this funeral director. -Bert was not present when we arrived to set up. I personally had to add more chairs outside as we were expecting a lot of people. After which, I was hot and asked if they had a bottle of water. " we only have a few" was my reply. There were no " reserved" signs on the pews and the staff didn't know where to find them. During visitation, Jim told me the funeral director wanted to see me. Bert was sitting in the office and told me he needed a receipt from our Caterer. ( really?) The Caterer hadn't arrived yet. After some discussion I said" well what if I don't get one TODAY?" Then he said he could take care of it later. After the service, he did not help direct people at all, but told me twice they wouldn't go into the reception area until I did. Well, I chose to direct my son's family in to start as I was going to wait until the guests were served to eat. Overall, not impressed with Bert.

From the moment we walked in, in shock with immediate grief, to following the burial, they walked us through every aspect of the process. We were able to create a beautiful memorial in remembrance of our beloved mother that was true to her uniqueness and according to her wishes. Special thanks to David, Jane, Vera, Stephanie, Elida, Michael, Kirk, and I know there are several others I'm forgetting. All the attendants were professional and proactive. It was also the only space we visited (of five or six) that was large enough to hold a sanctuary-like service, given we were not using a church building for our service. The "fellowship" area on the lower level let in a lot of light and was perfect for a luncheon after the service. Their short-list recommendations for caterer and florist were both excellent.

Losing loved ones is never easy so having someone who cares and has great character was very assuring those two times in our life. Paul (and his staff) did an outstanding job with both my Dad and Mom's funeral/celebration services. From start to finish, Paul was kind, comforting, very available and highly attentive. Over the years, I've attended many services at their chapels. I highly recommend them. Paul is a consummate professional. No one better!

During Labor Day weekend this year, I had the incredibly heartbreaking experience of taking my…read morefather off of life support. Soon after, I spoke with my family about next steps, and my brother found Huber Funeral Homes. Of all the places he called, Chad, the program director there, picked up immediately. He said he could meet with us the morning of Labor day (the next day) to review booking a date, pricing, and answer any questions. We had the meeting around 10 am, and he professionally arrived early in a suit. He gave us the information, and we felt comfortable enough to go with him. He also gave us a folder with all the information not only about the funeral, but also about what to do after one loses someone. I appreciated that. The day before the funeral, Huber Funeral Homes coordinated with the hospital (where my father passed), embalmed him, and transported him to their location. We had to think of so much that day; I'm glad they took care of everything. The day and a half I had to organize the funeral, I worked with Chat to have a program printed, and he gave me so much flexibility in getting those materials to him. When I arrived, they already had my father, flowers, and everything else setup. They accommodated us and our request, for a Buddhist funeral, too. After the ceremony and reception, they coordinated a funeral procession to Lakewood Cemetery where they cremated my father. They hired law enforcement to literally stop traffic, for us, as we traveled from Eden Prairie to Minneapolis. I hate the fact I'm writing a review about a Funeral Home, but Huber is a business, with locals working there, too. And they did such a good job that when an awful event like the loss of a loved-one occurs, trust Huber Funeral Homes to help make the worst time in your life a little bit easier.

My mom passed at about 1:15 on a Sunday, and the chapel had someone to pick her up by about 3:30. It was comforting to know that we were cared for almost immediately! Two days later we met with Scott, who listened to our every desire for mom's funeral, which was held at the Edina chapel. From picking the casket to suggesting flowers, and finding a priest, all of the people at Washburn-McReavy made everything clear and easy to follow. Mom was 91, and definitely had aged, but the makeup and hair was amazing! We thought for sure it would be a closed casket!! But she looked so good we left it open! Scott found the overwhelming amount of tables and easels we needed for presentation. The funeral went smoothly, and the burial even smoother! When we pulled up to Ft. Snelling... the traffic coordinator knew Scott and helped us immensely! It was as perfect as a funeral can get! Everything was handled and coordinated without worries! It was a beautiful service, and everyone commented! You won't be disappointed! In a time of stress, they made our lives so much easier!

We had the visitation at the Robbinsdale office the night prior to the funeral at her church and they were helpful in coordinating and paying the sign language interpreter, getting the obit into both major papers, honorarium to her pastor, just everything. I wrote one check to them for the money left over from my mothers prepaid account. And one thing that worries a lot of people of color is will they get our coloring right.

When a family member passed away in April, we asked the M.E. to contact this facility. When the…read moreW.M. Chapel called, the woman who called was abrupt, loud, and lacked the kind of sensitivity I expected from the representative of a funeral home. She stated something about them being very busy so it would be awhile until they could come out to collect the body - not an unreasonable request, but eventually she asked if there was anyone at the deceased's home who could help them carry the body out to the van! I thought this was so horribly inappropriate that it would have been comical in an Saturday Night Live skit, but to ask this of the bereaved was just outrageously unacceptable IMHO! I was dumbfounded. Not only by the insensitivity of the question, but also because this is part of what you pay them to do. We immediately decided to cancel their services and contacted a different funeral home who treated us much more respectfully and arrived within an hour of our contacting them. A few days later I tried to call the manager at W.M. SE Chapel to let them know why we cancelled their services. I was told he was out sick, so I left a message asking that he call me when he returned. Over 3 weeks have how passed and I still haven't received a call back.
