I found this funeral home on Yelp and gave an initial call for cremation research. I spoke to the…read moreowner Daniel and asked general questions regarding process and price for my grandmother. Daniel was extremely informative, courteous, and sensitive. We chose to move forward with Symonds Madison and the team was very kind and helpful. Jennifer at the front desk communicated throughout the process and responded quickly to emails. The location is easy to find, pretty on the outside and bigger than it looks on the inside. There is pretty of parking on the new paved lot. Although we did not have services at the home, the facilities were nice and the place looks like it's cared for with love.

They took care of my uncle's service and were completely accommodating. Not to mention that my uncle's appearance was so pleasant and peaceful. It was comforting for loved ones to see him in that way in hopes that his final moments were peaceful. Mr. Symonds is a true gem. His team was also very helpful when I asked for an attendance notice. Everything was absolutely breathtaking and they made it easy for my aunt to make a few payment arrangements if necessary. We couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out and I couldn't recommend this place more to anyone in need. I also appreciated the walk in announcement for my uncle. Everything was just very, very beautiful.

He designed the monument to include all the different titles my brother carried but he included a picture of my brother in his favorite roll as "Santa" to 4 generations of children in our family. He visited the cemetery to confirm the details matched his parents and brothers' headstone. He emailed me the date of it's delivery to the cemetery so I could make a trip to Illinois if I wanted to be present. He answered all my questions.

This is a place where I go several times a year to visit and pay respects to my family. This cemetery is always well maintained, and anytime we ask them to do something that are very responsive.

It fits what he would have liked, it's calm and peaceful. There's a tree nearby, many trees through out, but it's still close enough to the road where there's some hustle and bustle. When he was buried, the people who helped were kind and compassionate. There's many historical and beautiful gravestones and mausoleums too. It's just a nice calm final resting spot.

I had visited the location a couple days before my mom passed and they were very respectful and took down all of our information so that after my mom passed they were able to just come in take her body to the home. They also were able to get all of our official documentation information filled out at that moment as well. We had the basic cremation package which allowed us a 30 minute viewing. The space was clean and allowed us some private time with my mom before she was cremated. Receiving her remains and death certificate was also very efficient. We received both a couple business days after the viewing. Thank you for making a difficult life event pain free and simple. That was very important for us as we grieved.

I was immediately impressed even through my grief. They followed up with me as stated, scheduled a meeting time to discuss plans. They were upfront about pricing, no gimmicks or salesman pitch. All of my questions were answered, no request is too weird because they've heard it all. I actually learned a lot about the cremation process and county requirements. I'm so happy they were recommended to me and I tell everyone about them and my family will definitely utilize their services in the future if/when needed.
