In June 2024, my family experienced one of the most heartbreaking losses of our lives; the passing…read moreof our beloved mother. In the midst of that pain, we were guided with grace, compassion, and extraordinary care by Martin Thompson & Son Funeral Home & Crematory in Fort Worth. What they did for our family went far beyond a service; they gave us comfort, dignity, and peace during an unimaginably hard time. Payton, in particular, was a godsend. From the moment she stepped in to help, she treated us with warmth and empathy that felt like an embrace. She didn't just fulfill her duties; she went above and beyond, staying in contact with us after hours, making sure every step of the process was handled gently, respectfully, and with deep understanding. When we learned that our mother would need to be transported from Houston; a four-hour drive away. Martin Thompson & Son didn't hesitate. They made the trip themselves, a gesture that spoke volumes about their dedication. Not only did they care for her transport, they worked seamlessly with the private cemetery where our family plot is located, ensuring every detail was handled with precision and grace. Perhaps the most touching act was Payton's careful, loving work in preparing our mother for a private family viewing. Because of the condition she was in, we didn't know if it would be possible to see her again in a way that felt peaceful. But Payton made it possible. She restored her in such a gentle, dignified way that we were able to say goodbye in peace, seeing our mother as we remembered her: serene, whole, and beautiful. I truly cannot say enough about the extraordinary care we received. Martin Thompson & Son didn't just provide a funeral service; they gave us compassion, attention to every detail, and a space where we felt supported and seen. They treat families with a level of personal connection and respect that is rare and deeply needed in times of loss. If you are facing the unimaginable and need a team that will walk with you not just professionally but humanely; this is the place. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you, Payton, and everyone at Martin Thompson & Son. You helped us carry the weight of our grief, and we will be forever grateful!!

I was very impressed with the impressed with the way the company handled both the visitation and funeral for a client who I took care of; I was his nurse.

The day of the funeral, the staff and company were professional, on time and very informative. The staff had manners (which I have other funeral homes, and their personalities were not the greatest) and very thorough in their information that they gave us.

The acoustics in the Independence chapel were horrible. No one could understand what the speaker was saying. At the end we were told to go to the back to greet everyone but there were two doors. The family should've stayed seated at the front of the chapel and the guests should've been ushered by to greet the family in a row instead of us pushed to the foyer and just a cluster of people standing around. The pamphlet handout that they give out to the guests at the memorial was so tiny. We thought it was going to be a half a sheet of paper not 1/4. It's just unfortunate because this is not something you can redo. There's just little things that should've been done so much better especially her makeup.

In December 2024, I went back to Greenwood -- not to beg for a job, but to speak to HR and explain…read moremy side of how things ended. I asked for the HR rep (either Lawanda or Rowanda), and the second she saw me, she looked like she had a problem with me even showing up. Before I could even speak, she cut me off and said, "The higher-ups don't want to talk to you." That was it. No professionalism. No interest in hearing the truth. No decency. Just a cold dismissal and a look that said, "Why are you even here?" I kept it respectful. I came to speak like an adult. But clearly, once you're no longer useful to Greenwood, you're nothing to them. They don't want to hear what actually happened -- they want silence, obedience, and people who won't speak up. The way HR handled that moment says everything: they were never interested in fairness -- just in covering their tracks. So if you're considering working here, understand this: once they're done with you, you won't get a voice, a chance, or even basic human respect. And they'll make sure of it.

Mom was buried in November '21 she is, as of the beginning of this week she is still in an unmarked grave. We were initially told it would be 6 months for a marker to be made, supply issues etc... The option for a temporary marker was never presented by the Funeral home. As a funeral home, it's is their responsibility to offer, not ours as a grieving family to think to ask. One poor review on another site, 6 months after interrment, and they offer to put a temporary marker out, and tell us it will be another 6 to 8 months to get a stone marker. This would have made my mother have an unmarked grave for 12 to 14 months had we stuck to their timeline. We have decided to use a different company than the funeral home offers to get a headstone. That company told us 6 to 8 weeks, not 6 months. I won't even get into the shenanigans they pulled and threats that had to be made in order for us to get our money back to buy a marker from a different company. No family should have to go through this. Emerald hills really dropped the ball on this one.

Didn't realize until the next day that it is listed on Texas Monthly magazine's Bucket List of 63 Things to do in Texas. (It's number 13, appropriate for a spooky cemetery!). Previous reviewers are correct -- the historical significance and uniqueness of this cemetery has to be seen. Over 130 years in existence. I seek out old cemeteries to photograph headstones. I also seek them out in search of old trees (oaks or anything unusual) so I can collect seed. Abandoned or neglected cemeteries are also a place to look for antique roses. Took several pictures and uploaded them to accompany this review. It was a hot 100 deg F when I visited but will definitely be back for more research.

I would have not chosen this as the funeral home to handle my father's cremation and service had I…read morebeen able to have a say in it. Due to extraneous circumstances around my father's passing, the family member that was in state, was out of the country when he passed and there were delays in the family being notified that were out of state. The hospice he was at called this particular place to pick up my father. I wish I would have been able to intervene sooner. The level of professionalism just wasn't at any level I would call professional. The representative that we dealt with belonged on a used car lot, and not a reputable one. I really don't want to hear about stripper funerals when I am picking out urns and planning a service. He kept telling us the wrong amount for what was due after the initial costs of the cremation, etc. A check was written the day of the service for a remaining balance and then almost a month later, we were informed that we owed them the amount we were repeatedly told was already taken care of. I had asked my in town relative when I was in TX what the deal was, so I could handle it out of my father's accounts if needed, they didn't have the answers, so I relied on a proper accounting from the funeral home. Basically, it had to come out of pocket when a month ago it could have been taken care of in a different way that we no longer had access to. It was all paid, it was just basic misinformation, miscommunication, lameness on their part throughout the whole process. They found a reverend even though I had request that they did not, who just happened to be the reverend of the used car sales man funeral guy. My father's pastor was out of the country and I figured, better to have none then someone who did not know or care about him. The Stand in reverend they found used the wrong name of my father's mother even after I had asked him to read what I had written about my father seeing as he didn't even know him. That is always great during a memorial service, especially when you are paying this person, oh I mean "tipping" them and they basically refuse to read what you prepared then say the wrong name. After receiving the Death Certificate, I realize why he used the wrong name of my father's mother, because it was also wrong on the death certificate. It is not the name listed on my father's birth certificate. Another fail. He also told us the obituary had already been run, we did not even get a copy or link to it. But, it now ends up, they never ran the obit even after charging us for it. So, they are going to run it this Friday, a month after the funeral. Another epic fail on their part. I called the funeral director, Lee, to talk to him about this, to express my overall dissatisfaction. He came out of the gate funky; like he was put out that I would even try to have a conversation with him about anything I was unhappy with. I was cut off, over talked, disrespected and hung up on. I have a feeling that a lot of more mature "gentlemen" in Texas are old school and do not know how to discuss business with a woman respectfully. I was told that it was his "right" to continue to interrupt me. Great. I was told that what I was telling him was 100% wrong and when I asked if his accounting was 100% right, he said "absolutely". I really hadn't even been able to say a full two sentences at this point. Then, he started lighting in to me about the length of time that they had to hold my father and issues he evidently had about my sister being out of the country and not having access to reliable communication methods. He actually told me she could have sent a TELEGRAM. OK. Right. Because that is such a preferred method of communication. I am sure they charged us for the time my father was there, generously, and also it was almost impossible for me to get a timely call back when I did get in the mix and start dealing with them. The location is also in a industrial-ish, not so nice area with nothing around it but hospitals. Not nice at all. The overall appearance of the funeral home is tacky. Plastic columns and plants. I would not recommend them, at all. It was a clown show at best.

Everyone was, without exception, so professional, yet had so much compassion in their dealings with us. I would never have guessed how many funerals were actually being handled at the same time. An outstanding presence at Biggers , beginnning to end, is the outstanding gentleman, Jason Rand. From our first contact, he treated us with not only respect and patience, but he began to feel like more of a friend than a funeral director. He was understanding in our family meeting when we were making initial arrangments, he asked all the right questions, he had great suggestions (AFTER listening to various family members' varied concerns) and even knew just when to say "think and talk about this, I'd suggest that, but I'll step out of the room, so you can discuss as a famly in private" Funeral Directors are not someone that we want to deal with too often, but stopping by the office for different reasons (dropping off clothes, signing a document, etc) was always somewhat of a pleasure and not the depressing task one would think. I can also add that despite serious health issues himself, Jason was there when we needed him every single time, if not in person, just a phone call away. The actual day of the funeral, Jason was ON TOP of every detail, at our side the entire day nonstop, despite the actual burial being over an hour away. The day ran 100% smoothly and all thanks to him for sure. When it's your family's time to face this difficult time, our family heartily recommends Biggers and Jason Rand in particular.
