I cannot express how grateful I am for City of Oaks Cremation during the most devastating time of…read moremy life. My 31-year-old son unexpectedly passed away, and from the very first phone call with Olivia, I felt a sense of comfort and care that I truly needed. Her gentle voice, compassion, and patience meant more to me than words can describe. She took the time to explain everything clearly and never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. From beginning to end, she handled every detail with such kindness and professionalism, making an unbearable situation just a little bit easier to get through. The team did an absolutely beautiful job preparing my son for the family viewing--he looked peaceful, and that is something I will carry with me forever. I also had the honor of meeting the owner, Edward, who was incredibly kind and comforting. You can truly feel that this is not just a business, but people who genuinely care. I will never forget the compassion they showed my family. I highly recommend City of Oaks Cremation to anyone in need of their services.

During a very difficult time, Lori guided me through the process with professionalism and compassion.

She even took special requests for locks of hair, separate urns, etc. I would not have been able to navigate all of this without Lori's capable hands guiding me through the process. She made a very difficult time so much easier. Thank you.

There is a open-air patio with outside furniture for visitors to go to. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable. Everything about this funeral home is nice.

It's not fun to think about when that time comes but it's a relief to know it's taken care of and our kids won't have to talk about what to do with us.

They told different stories on actually cremating the mementos to be cremated with our loved one, and then when I said I was going to leave honest reviews about them, they offered to give me my money back if I removed the negative reviews. Look on their other reviews on different sites for examples of dishonest dealings, one review said a wedding ring of the deceased was removed by an employee and the police tracked it down to a pawn shop. Be warned about this business. You owe your loved ones better.

It's a genuine pleasure to write this review. We recently utilized Bryan-Lee Mortuary in Raleigh…read moreto facilitate the burial of my Mother. There was a viewing here in Houston, then travel via Air to North Carolina, and lastly auto transportation to Wake Forest to bury. Through Bryan-Lee of Raleigh everything went without any issues! The average person will most likely be distraught when trying to arrange for burial or cremation. Fortunately for us, Bryan-Lee Mortuary in Raleigh has an extremely helpful staff. They set up everything for us with minimal efforts on our part. So, we could do what we needed to do, grieve and support with family and friends. Justin, Maria, Ed and the whole Bryan-Lee crew were in a word: Exceptional. Not only did Justin let us know everything that was going on in the process; he also handled any issues that came our way. Every time I called, Maria answered the phone! It was nice NOT talking or pushing buttons through an auto-attendant... Although I sincerely hope I do not have to utilize their services in the near future, but if I do, I will be returning to Bryan-Lee Mortuary in Raleigh in the future.

While it feels a little weird to review a funeral home, I want to share my family's positive…read moreexperience with Bryan-Lee. I hope this will help others who don't know much about planning funeral arrangements (as my mom, brother, and I did not), and perhaps it will lighten their burden a bit. My dad passed away two weeks ago. We did not make arrangements in advance because while we knew his terminal cancer was going to end his life, we could not anticipate it happening three days after the doctors told us there was nothing more they could do. So we were in quite the bind at UNC Hospitals at 2 AM when we had a body and no idea what to do from there. We were interested in a place near downtown Raleigh, and Bryan-Lee was referred to us. Do not let its Wake Forest Rd. address throw you off. It's located just past where Wake Forest Rd. and Person St. downtown turn into each other (near the Krispy Kreme). In fact, Bryan-Lee is located in the Historic Mordecai district, in an historical home, which my dad would have really liked. Bryan-Lee handled everything with ease: They made the arrangements with the hospital to pick up my dad's body. They handled the cremation as well. They gave my mom a financial information packet about handling bank accounts and the steps to take after losing a spouse. They gave us all of the instructions for writing an obituary. They submitted our piece to the newspapers we requested. One of them was a paper in South Carolina, where I grew up. Andy from Bryan-Lee e-mailed me the day after Dad's obit ran to tell me that he had called that paper after he noticed the online article did not contain a picture of my dad. They assured him that the print version did run the photo, and he wanted to be sure to write that to me before I looked and got upset. Attention to detail, consideration, and customer service like that made Bryan-Lee a great business to work with. The space itself, where my family held a visitation, is lovely. It reminded me of a country club and living room at the same time. By that, I mean it is formal and classy while also comfortable. There were chairs and sofas around the room (which was very large). They have a way to play music if you bring some (though we chose to play it from my brother's computer). They provide ample tissues, mints, and water. They also direct guests arriving to the proper room, take their coats, provide empty boxes so we can take flower arrangements home, handle all of the paperwork required, and other things I'm sure I did not notice. Overall, my family was very pleased with Bryan-Lee Funeral Home. They are friendly professionals who really make you feel safe and welcome when you are otherwise feeling sad, confused, and in a vulnerable position. I recommend them to anyone in need of their services.
