So glad to have found Advent on Yelp!…read more After the passing of my grandmother, we received a list from the folks up at Johns Hopkins for funeral homes/crematories in the area. It was basically just an alphabetically directory of local options--although a few were "recommended" by the hospital, many on their list had disconnected phone numbers or defunct websites and the ones that did not had what seemed like astronomical fees, not to mention some incredibly officious receptionists. After calling about ten options, many over 30 minutes away, I decided to simply look on Yelp for a funeral home within a reasonably proximity to where we were staying--if we were going to have to pay through the nose and interface with laconic staff, at least it would be close by. When I called Advent, it was after their listed business hours, but to my surprise a friendly man named Ray picked up the phone. He said they were closed down for the day, but was happy to answer any questions I had. He gave me immediate estimates for a host of different options as we had not yet decided exactly how we wanted to proceed, beyond doing the initial cremation. Every quote he gave us was about half what the other places had quoted--and many of those places had more stringent policies around when decisions be made by; the fact that Advent was only a ten minute drive, seemed friendly and professional, AND had the most competitive prices, it became a no brainer. The next morning, we came in and met with Della-Reese. What an absolute gem. Just like Ray, she was warm and welcoming. She gave us a tour of the facilities, everything from rooms where a funeral/memorial could be hosted, to urns and biodegradable box options. We appreciated her no-pressure attitude and how sincere she was walking us through paperwork and final steps. The circumstances surrounding having to choose a funeral home will never be ideal, but we were SO lucky to find a place with a team that was compassionate and welcoming--from our first phone call to completing paperwork, to picking up the remains. Highly recommend.

Secondly, the service was fine (well, minus the fact I never received the requested streaming information) Mr. Queen went above and beyond! Thank you sir. Now, the issues. 1. Took over a month to receive death certificates. Save your money and order directly from the office of Vital Statistics. 2. An urn is included in the package we chose, however, an order wasn't placed at that time (even though JB Jenkins requires payment 3 days prior to the service). Fast forward another 3 weeks and I receive a call to say the urn is OUT OF STOCK (that was early October). So, wanting to be done with this ordeal and get my mother's cremains ASAP, I purchased the exact same urn from Amazon (for a lot less than what JB Jenkins is charging), received it overnight and delivered it to the funeral home the following day. 3. I requested the money I spent with Amazon to be refunded ( only $80) and was told "NO MONEY WOULD BE REFUNDED" so of course I requested a supervisor. After a conversation with I believe Ms. Chandler, she was to follow up with me. That didn't happen. I called 3 more times and finally got her on the phone again just to be told the same thing..."NO MONEY WOULD BE REFUNDED" so I stated at that time I expect to still receive the urn included in the package since it's already paid and I assume someone will contact me when it arrives. That was on October 23rd. It's now November 12th and I haven't heard anything from anyone at JB Jenkins. Had I NOT supplied my own urn...I'd STILL be waiting to bring my Mother's ashes home. UNACCEPTABLE!!! I would think this funeral home would just cut me a check for the $80 and be done with me as I'm sure they're not hurting for money but instead... I'm STILL waiting in November for an urn which was paid for in September. Maybe 7 on your Side would like to hear this story. I've been more than patient

We spoke with everyone from the numerous receptionists to Funeral Directors to the listed Office Manager. Each of these representatives assured us they would check on the challenge and get back to us. At one point, a minister called to confirm what we wanted at my sister's service that was scheduled for the upcoming Friday. To our surprise, the funeral home got our sister's remains mixed up with another deceased person. My sister was not having a service and was being cremated. The minister was very apologetic. At no point did any of the representatives (6 people) call us back after stating that they would. All communications were initiated by us. We needed communication with the funeral home even if it was to say they are still looking into our concerns. Not one of these people returned our calls.

Marche is very professional and was extremely patient with my mother and I who both were emotional going through this funeral planning experience for the first time. It definitely feels weird actually writing a Yelp review for a Funeral Home but if my recommendations are used for valuable opinion of my taste in food, amenities, and more happy services... please take my advice for a funeral home. In the event that you ever need one I wouldn't look any further than Morris Funerals and Cremation Services. Everything was reasonably priced and lower than other funeral homes in Maryland that quite frankly to me seemed to be "milking" patrons due the surge in deaths from this killer Coronavirus. They went above and beyond considering the circumstances all while following state mandates and social distancing. Hopefully I personally won't have to visit them anytime soon but I know where to direct someone when they do.

Examine the prepaid contract if they insist on getting the additional $1,000.00 well pay them for what they have done and have your love one picked up from Hortons by the new funeral home and taken to the other funeral home that will respect you get a refund from Hortons and this part is "important" get the new funeral home to order your casket. Remember "You" are in charge of your deceased family member not the funeral home. It's totally unnecessary to rip off family members handling the arrangements for an additional 1,000.00 pocket money for the funeral home to handle your loved ones after prearrangements has already been made and "paid for". Also if the removal person shows up to your residence to remove your loved one dressed inappropriately with a hoodie on and casual baggy pants like he's going to a ball game "as a representative of the funeral home" send him away call the funeral Home or another funeral home and "demand" someone that will respect your home and your family that will show up dressed appropriately with at least dress slacks and a decent shirt casual or dress shoes and don't accept them requesting your help to remove your loved one from your residence they should come prepared with two people remember you're paying for this proper service and you tell the funeral home what time to come to your residence to pick up your loved one if you're waiting for other family members to come to your home before your love one is removed from your residence generally they come automatically within 90 minutes but if you need more time let them know when you call to notify them of the passing of your loved one. .

The only thing that was a issue for me was that when first sitting down to meet with someone a piece of paper was just sat in front of my face with no real directions or questions being asked to what I would like to see. If you are helping someone with planning while they are grieving or suffered a loss it is very confusing to just sit down and look at a paper with no real guidance or direction. The other issue I had was we paid for a service and it wasn't provided in the time that we previously discussed. Other than that the workers are very respectful upbeat and polite. A little on the pricey side but still decent.
