My dad has used this funeral home for years. HIs mom and brother are buried here and I will have…read morehis ashes buried at the foot of his moms grave. The entire process with Evan in the actual funeral home dealing with the cremation and obituary was great. However, when it came to adding the stone to the bottom of the grave was not so good. It started with a call to ask questions about adding his nieces headstone at the bottom of her dads grave as well or adding her name somewhere on my dads stone as she was cremated but the family could not afford a head stone year ago. I was told on a phone call we can add a baby stone at the bottom of her dads grave with her name on it. When I met with Rita to order the stone she stated this was not correct. They have to be buried there to add the stone. But, she said I could add her name on my dads stone but may look a little odd as if its a spouse but I could do this. We had an entire conversation in person about adding her name and the designer could give their opinion on it as well for placement or how to word this. Already disappointed I cant add the stone to the bottom of her dads grave but thought at least I can add to her Uncles stone right next to her dad when I left this day. When I inquired on this again in email when approving the stone draft, , Rita stated all of a sudden I cannot do this unless she is buried in the same grave as well. She passed years ago and I do not have her ashes so this isnt an option for us. I asked several follow up questions regarding this and would get 1 of the 3 questions answered back by Rita. Then Id have to email again for the the other questions I already asked and still didnt answer them. I came to the conclusion, she wasnt a good listener when we spoke in person as she was not answering the questions in the email. Like she wasnt even reading the email. Now Im getting frustrated asking the same questions over and over and getting shirt snooty replies back. Now all of a sudden its a hard NO. Cant do anything for me with this. I also was asking in this same emails about my grandma vase that was stolen that I found while there. She was at first gong to check if anythig can be done with this then in her snooty email at the end of the back and fourth she stated. Cant do anything about the stolen vase , we dont cover this and I have to follow the rules. QUOTE. She was just very difficuly to communicate with and I feel like I did not get the correct info twice, to turn and just be disappointed with an all ready stressful situation. Maybe she was just haveing a bad week but people like this should not be in the tyoe of profession. I asked to speak with a manager and Quote-back from Rita--- I got back an email " I am the manger How can I help you "? Really??? I just let it be at that point and moved on. BUt I had to let others know. If you do have a choice as I did not or I would have chose another place. Id recommend another place , one that covers theft as this seems to be a huge promlem with this particular loaction when I looked online. Id try some where with better security and policies and no Rita. I really did not need the extra stress of an attitude and wrong info given TWICE.. Then to top it off, I cannot even contact anyone else here but her to see if this is even the truth. As she stated this just changed in policy about 5 years ago.

The moment she said "We want" it was no longer what *I* wanted, especially when I said I was looking for direct cremation with all-inclusive pricing. Why do i need to come in? Why can't you email me what I exactly what I asked for. I said "NO NO...WE ARE DONE!!!!! Any funeral sales persons acts like that. YOU KNOW its buyer beware!

You get what you pay for with this place. When my FIL died they said his brother(who I'll call D)…read morecame in and paid for all services and that my FILs ashes would be ready to be picked up that next week. When those days came and went and we didn't get any phone calls we called them to see what is up. They apologized and said that it was the wrong uncle D (same first name) and it was another family member that was paid for, not my FIL, all while giving us the first and last names of some other family they were doing services for durring this time. They told us for the inconvenience we could have the $20 death certificate for free. We gave them the benefit of the doubt. Since we unexpectedly needed to pay $1000 we needed two days for our bank to transfer funds so we asked if that would delay the cremation process. We were told that it would NOT delay the cremation process and that my FIL would again be ready for pick up in a few days. The next week after still not ever getting a single phone call or courtesy call we called back AGAIN to see why he wasn't ready. We were told he hadn't even been cremated yet as we hadn't paid...if we knew it needed sent we would have paid it the first week. It took FIVE times of them telling us he would be ready before I was actually able to pick up the ashes. When I was told my FIL was ready to pick up I was never given a time or appointment. When I showed up I had to sit in the car with my 1 year old for 35 minutes because he still wasn't even there... of course after mentioning all this to the owner he, like stated before me, did not take responsibility. I was told his rececptionist didn't tell us any of that and that that didnt happen, and that because he "trains his staff so well" he "knows it wasn't a mistake on their end". He had some sticky note with "9-2" written on it and said that he wasn't there because it wasn't my appointment time and that's my fault. He did let me know that payment before cremation was in the fine print we signed, which of course is our fault for not reading, yes, but the fact that we obviously didnt know that and specifically asked and was told it wouldnt delay the process was so wrong. My FIL layed in a freezer for 2 weeks before he was finally ready 15 days later. The owner also went on to tell me information about the previous Google reviews and how he's in a lawsuit with them and why..not sure about that but either way he was giving out MORE INFORMATION about other people that he did services for! If I knew he would tell me that much about others I wouldn't have trusted him with our family member or our family information! Also the "Urn" we paid for was just a thin black plastic box with their sticker on it.. Aaannnndddd...que the denial response

There are very few times in my career as a funeral director when I have been completely at a loss…read morefor words, but trying to adequately express what Loretta at Meyers Funeral Chapel meant to my family is one of them. My sister lost her 33-year-old son, Jesse--my nephew--and our family was facing a loss that no parent, sibling, or family should ever have to endure. For once, I wasn't the funeral director standing on the other side of the arrangement table trying to make everything better. I was the uncle. I was the brother watching my sister and brother-in-law experience the unimaginable. I was grieving too. And then there was Loretta. She was, quite simply, a Godsend to our family. After more than two decades in funeral service, I know what happens behind the scenes. I know what exceptional care looks like, and I know the difference between simply doing the job and truly having a heart for the families we serve. Loretta has that heart. She cared for Jesse with incredible dignity and respect, but just as importantly, she cared for the people who loved him. She showed my sister and brother-in-law compassion when their hearts were shattered. She was patient when emotions were overwhelming. She listened. She reassured. She handled the details so we didn't have to. And somehow, through one of the darkest moments our family has ever experienced, she gave us a sense of comfort and peace. As a funeral director, handing the care of someone you love to another funeral director is incredibly difficult. You notice everything. You know what should happen, how things should be handled, and the level of care you want for your own family. With Loretta, I was able to let go. I trusted her with Jesse. I trusted her with my sister. I trusted her with my family. And I knew Jesse was receiving the same level of care, dignity, and attention I would have given him myself. From one funeral director to another, I can think of no greater compliment. Loretta also gave me something I didn't realize how badly I needed: permission to simply be Jesse's uncle and my sister's brother instead of trying to be everyone's funeral director. That gift meant more to me than she will probably ever know. Loretta, you reminded me why our profession matters. It isn't about caskets, paperwork, schedules, or services. It is about being there when another human being's world has fallen apart and quietly helping them find their way through the next few days. You didn't just take care of Jesse's funeral. You took care of our family. I will never forget what you did for my sister, my brother-in-law, Jesse, or me. I have spent much of my career trying to provide this kind of care to other families, and when my own family needed it most, you gave that same compassion back to us. Meyers Funeral Chapel has an extraordinary funeral director in Loretta. Five stars could never adequately express our gratitude. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking such beautiful care of Jesse and all of us.
