Upon entering, the main hall wasn't open and we were gently greeted with instructions to wear a mask and to take a seat in the adjacent lounge. Shortly after, the hall opened and we were directed to the guest book and given a memorial program. Everyone we encountered was so warm and kind. The facility was clean and comfortable. Most of the parking is at the bottom of a hill, but there are a few regular and handicapped spaces near the entrance. The steps and ramp were cleared of the small snow we had, plus had ice melt laid as additional protection. #VH

The owner yelled at the dog to "shut the **c* up" before removing it from the room, then proceeded to make excuse after excuse as to why a dog was even there in the first place w/o the family being informed. Our loved one had glue all over her face, blood still in her hair, and was on the sheets she was laid on. The room itself looked like a catch-all storage room rather than a place where a family should be able to say goodbye to someone they love. When we addressed these concerns, the owner, Ben, was argumentative and dismissive rather than understanding. He was, without a doubt, one of the most unprofessional business owners I have ever dealt with. On top of that, the man handling the obituary and urn, Dan, had to be resent the same information twice because he claimed he had received none of it other than the marriage certificate-even though approximately 90% of the information he needed was included in the exact same email. You would think a funeral home would understand that families are grieving and treat their loved ones and their families with basic dignity and respect. Instead, we paid $2,500 and were left feeling like our loved one was treated like a piece of meat. I'm sorry that we didn't have $10,000 to spend for what should have been a meaningful and respectful final goodbye. Every family deserves dignity, regardless of how much money they can afford to spend. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this funeral home to look elsewhere. Based on our experience, this was one of the most disrespectful, unprofessional, and upsetting experiences our family has ever had. We did receive a refund at the end.

I went to a funeral home in Beech Grove, Little & Sons, which wanted $1300.00 to rent a room for 2 hours. My cousins suggested I contact Joe Hammond. So glad that I did. First, let me say the location was perfect. The facility was very warm and inviting (just like my husband). The price was less than half what the other facility wanted. The event went very well, Joe was very accommodating! I can't thank them enough for putting all my worries and concerns at ease. Very professional, excellent customer service, beautiful facility and affordable. Can't go wrong here. Would give them 10 stars if I could.

Used many times throughout the years for friends and family. Always excellent m, Joe is wonderful!!read more

I had the chance to visit Indy's Floral Park Cemetery on the near-westside of Indy earlier today as…read moreI was taking a trip west to snag a Yelp restaurant review. Floral Park falls under the Washington Park Cemetery Association. It has a funeral home on-site and has been in existence since 1910. Floral Park offers burial and cremation services. They have a Flanner Buchanan funeral center and an event center with two large event room and additional rooms available for community use. They also have catering options. The cemetery itself is much larger than I realized. Famous, or in at least one case notorious, people buried at Floral Park include blues musician Leroy Carr, Hall of Fame Pro Baseball Player Oscar McKinley Charleston, race car driver James R. Packard, race car driver Chuck Rodee, and notorious killer Steven Judy (who was executed for the killings of 23-year-old Terry Lee Chasteen and her 3 kids). There are approximately 90,000 burials at Floral Park. Indianapolis's first cemetery, Greenlawn Cemetery, is actually located within these grounds and is marked with a large black stone. It was established around 1821. While it's doubtful that the remaining graves actually are the full graveyard, you can tell by those present that they are remarkably old. At the time it was approximately 7 acres and still contains both Union and Confederate soldiers from the Civil War. Former Governor James Whitcomb was originally buried at Greenlawn before being exhumed 40 years later and moved to Crown Hill Cemetery. Interestingly, at one point a good portion of Greenlawn was closed and developed into Federal League Ballpark. I was honestly amazed at the size of Floral Park. While it's certainly not as large as Crown Hill, it's quite amazing. You can tell it's an older cemetery and it does appear some renovation work is going on. The grounds are generally well kept and you could see quite a few visitors on this beautiful Saturday. Everyone I met, and I was surprised how many people actually spoke, was friendly and I met a beautiful 16-year-old pit bull. There's some difficulty in actually tracking in the cemetery, though you can apparently get a map in the office. I found, for example, that the Find A Grave website labeled things in a way differently than things are labeled at Floral Park and while the website might label things with section numbers it seemed like Floral Park used actual names for most of their sections. As is true for many larger cemeteries, there are different sections including a rather sad section known as "Babyland." Judy's grave was somewhat set apart, probably wise considering the nature of his crimes. There also seemed to be an extraordinarily large section that had quite a few graves with children and families. Floral Park Cemetery doesn't have quite the awe-inspiring aura of a place like Crown Hill, but it feels very much like it's a cemetery that radiates the heart and soul of Indy. I was honestly amazed how many people were actively visiting and how many graves were clearly well remembered and loved. I watched as one older woman walked delicately in the Babyland section. You can't help but wonder about their story and pray for them.

Eric never pushed to "sell" us, he walked us through the options, made great suggestions and really listened to what we said about my sister.

I don't think Eric realized how much my family and I appreciated his support, empathy and his genuine sincerely.

I also noticed, and later utilized, a bench out front near a standing ashtray. Through the double doors at the entrance was a large foyer with a vaulted ceiling that was well decorated. To the left, down a short hall, was the chapel where our friend was. The funeral home seemed large, airy and bright. I am not sure if there was more than one chapel, but the chapel we were in was quite big with many pews. I overheard some ladies remarking on what a wonderful job Little & Sons had done with their relative. They had said you would think they personally knew him with the touches they made. I believe that says quite a lot. The ladies' room was a bit cramped and possibly in need of a little maintenance, but was still nicely decorated as well and fully stocked. There was also a bench inside on which to sit. The toilet in the handicapped stall has some trouble flushing and they could upgrade to two sinks. When we first arrived, I noticed a lady at a desk off to the side that smiled at us, but we were not ever greeted by any staff like I have been at many other funeral homes. Overall, I thought it was a lovely place. I feel like Little & Sons would be a good choice for anyone in need of a nice sendoff for a loved one.
