I unfortunately was placed in the position to have to do business with this company with the sudden…read moreunexpected passing of my husband earlier this month. I was referred to Chanda Gonzalez in their office from Ted Dickey (where we had my husband services) as one of his final requests was to be buried where his sister was laid to rest, and she worked with my and my family in deciding on a location to bury my husband at. She was VERY patient and took quite a long time showing us different locations available on the grounds and going over the different pricing structures even understanding that I wanted to check out another location closer to home before making this big decision, ultimately deciding on this location. (I never realized how much was involved with the burial of a person) and she went over EVERYTHING!!! It was a very difficult decision for me to make and she was very mindful of mine and my sons loss. I am still working with them on the headstone stuff but overall would recommend them for burial (I did the services at another location - closer to home). She even helped me make plans for me so my sons don't have a lot to deal with when something happens to me..... The cemetery grounds are really kept up from what I have seen and though I was concerned about the area it is in, I just don't recommend leaving anything of value in your car when you visit. Would definitely recommend them in the event that you require their services.

I'm not gonna get on here and bash this cemetery But it seem just in last few years that someone is…read moretaking my sons stuff off his gravestone. I had a plaque made with my son's picture on it that was made of cast iron That stuck in the ground that was stolen. I say stolen because I was told that the grounds people don't take stuff off of the grave stone. I understand that they do need to cut the grass and weed eat And that some stuff may be in the way and get tore up or whatever but just in the last few months almost everything that I put on my sons grave has been stolen or taken off . My son was buried here 32 years ago. The last few years i have placed stuff around his grave stone or on it is gone. It's sad that I can't even leave stuff on my sons grave because other people thinks it's ok to just take it becuase they thinks it's ok. If it is the grounds people then they need to take all the stuff from all the baby's grave stones out there and not just mine. Idk what's going on but I want answers. What would someone need a plaque with someone else's baby picture on it for just to maybe get 10 dollars for it. The last time I went to see my son the grass was mowed and some of my sons stuff was gone but left a couple of things. I looked around at the other graves and their stuff was still there with grass growed up around it . So why mess with mine and not the others ?

Another missing review?…read more I've been stopping in here for 30 years and know I've reviewed it before. Oh well. If you like historical cemeteries.... Go! Many prominent Dallisites including,Mayors, 6, financiers, developers etc are interned here. It is a beautiful place. Not taken care of quite as well as in the past but not abandoned either. My favorite grave is of a man named Slaughter. Check out the Texas historical marker photo and picture of his granite tomb.

I was planning to set-up a pre-need for my dad, in light of his health situation. However, before…read moreI could do so, he passed away. The good news is I had met with Janice Demus the week before so was a step ahead! Mrs. Demus was GREAT! She went over all of the details thoroughly, so I was able to make a decision on the funeral arrangements fairly quickly. Miguel Bandy was PHENOMENAL! I often wondered did he ever sleep! He was very responsive and supportive. He made a very tough and sensitive situation very comforting and uncomplicated. I know there were other bereaved clients with families in need, but I never felt like there were - based on the GREAT customer service my family and I received from the moment my dad passed until he was laid to rest! Unfortunately, I was not able to give 5 stars. We paid for the livestream service option and are not pleased with the outcome. The recording is not great. There seems to be some technical disconnects that need to be addressed if they are going to continue to offer this service. Had we known, we would have secured an alternative. We are grateful that the service was recorded, but we would have liked a better product ultimately.

I was given a list of funeral homes that do cremation by the hospital and called 10 places. I only…read morewent with this home because they offered the cheapest price. Now- i didnt check any reviews or yelp until i checked in and i was curious how my experience would go based on the reviews. First thoughts were it seemed very disorganized with people walking all around like they had no idea what was going on. The layout of the waiting area is odd with lots of single chairs- who goes to funeral homes alone? Also- everyone just looked confused. We had a 3:30 appt that we arrived a few minutes early for and then sat in the lobby for about 20-30 min before we were taken back. Honestly based on that and the reviews i probably wouldnt do ant sort of service with them, but since we were doing cremation only it wasnt the end of the world. We havent gotten our loved ones ashes back yet, so fingers crossed all that goes smoothly.

I have not dealt with many funeral homes but out of the 3 I have this one was by far the WORSE!…read moreThey were unorganized. The director was MEAN, RUDE and completely NON- EMPATHETIC! Every chance he got he wanted to argue with us about ANYTHING! To the point that even the lady that works with him had to tell him you did say that. I it upset him he couldn't charge us for that he decided to give me an extra transport charge that he NEVER not once mentioned until he couldn't charge was the other fee. In the end charging me 800 dollars in transportation fees. In between this and everything to follow I had to wait till after noon to do any business with them because the director don't answer the phones he just be mean to people in the background and the lady running things works at a daycare in the mornings. Then, we waited 2 weeks for the death certificate and it was a straight forward natural death. Come to find out( I heard the conversation with vital records) they hadn't requested the death certificates. Holding up the process with insurance, the cemetery and the other funeral home. I had been calling every other day asking for it. Finally we decided she would pay the fee to expedite getting the certificates (we paid for 5) and pay to overnight them to me since they were not in with my father when he was shipped. She was supposed to fax me a copy before she sent them off. Hours after they were picked up I got 3 cut off pictures of the death certificate and a picture of shipped partial letter that was arriving with my certificates 3days later. Obviously the other funeral home had to call her and get her to fax the copy of the certificate instead of the 3 cut off pictures. When the other director said you know we can't accept pictures in text she laughed and said yeah you're right. At this point we all were tired of dealing with them. It was a very horrible experience at one of the worse times in my life. I would NOT recommend this funeral home to anyone. Especially if you're looking for someone on their game with an empathetic heart. The director mean and appears to be very old. The lady running things is nice but appears to not know what is going on and ALL over the place. Not a good experience at all!!!!
