My grandmother's desire was to pre-pay for her funeral expenses prior to her death. This is, of…read morecourse, something that is common. Long story short, my grandmother paid for what she believed was the total cost of her funeral expenses using Mills & Mills. However, upon our arrival to Mills & Mills shortly after my grandmother's death, Mills & Mills told us that there would be additional costs to pay, totaling more than $1,500. They showed us that on my grandmother's contract that certain things were not mentioned. However, the things that they said were not mentioned on the contract... these are things that are required of all burials. I explained to Mills & Mills that we would not be paying for these added expenses. My statement to their staff was: "My grandmother's intent was to pre-pay for ALL of her funeral expenses, not just some of them. This is exactly what she believed she did. If she were alive today, and if she were sitting at this table with us, she'd be very angry that you're asking us for more money." After stating the above to Mills & Mills, they decided to remove the charge for this item / service. Their response to what I shared was very agreeable. For this, I was very thankful. It was already a very emotional day for us. If the above had not occurred, we would have had a very positive experience with Mills & Mills. Most everything else was done very professionally, and with great sensitivity to our family's loss. So, what could have been a 4 or 5 star experience for us ended up being 3 stars.

In short order (less than 72 hours) she was taken by EMT for a mental health evaluation. Funeral counselors guide grieving people through the funeral process; however, they also should be trained to identify and not take advantage of those in a mental health crisis. Giving away personal items and planning for your own death In Secret are indicators of a suicidal ideation. In this case the sales office took advantage of her, resulting in her signing the contract. Hopefully they have a recission period...but that may have passed as well.

Ron Larson was helping my family plan final arrangements for a departed family member. The kids were talking about how much our dearly departed loved his children. Ron chimes in that not all fathers love their children and tells us in graphic detail about a video he saw online from a girl who was born although her mother had tried to abort her. WTF? Was I in the twilight zone? He ignoried everyones discomfort and described how it had failed and what it caused. I am sure his coworkers are good funeral directors and to Ron's credit he didn't hard sell us, the cremation was done on time, but he was disturbing and told too many personal uncomfortable stories. (another about about a neighbor girl whose alcoholic father used to beat her and how later she drowned in her families jacuzzi). This review is mine alone. The other family members for some reason accepted that "things in small towns are done differently", they had other things to think about, but I had never had an experience like this before.
