LIVE STREAMING WEBCAST (AUDIO QUALITY)…read more Very disappointed in the live streaming service that was held for a long time family friend of ours. The audio was horrible and we were unable to catch most of the words of the service. We had to call in constantly during the service to ask them to fix it. In the end I had to message someone attending the service to go speak to the funeral home about correcting the issue. We caught only the introductory song and the last bit of the ending message. There was a person named Paula whom always seemed irritated and was very unpleasant to speak to. HOURS OF OPERATION They are also advertised to be open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. We used a well reputable florist company to deliver flowers a day before the service. The florist told us that they were unable to deliver due to the funeral home being closed. I was in shock and worry took over. Ultimately they were able to deliver it but it was THE DAY/MORNING OF THE SERVICE. It was delivered by 9am to be exact, which was 1 hour prior to the service beginning. LIVE STREAMING WEBCAST (VISUAL & TECHNICAL ISSUES) Be mindful about how this funeral home tells you that the loved ones of the deceased will be able to record videos to play during the service. They seem to want you to provide your own equipment and supplies for it to run smoothly (flash drive and laptop). Pay close attention to this here, if this is what you are planning to have so that the experience is not ruined. The pre-recordings should be put unto a flash drive (so they say). We were watching the service from another state and were robbed of the opportunity to see and hear our heartfelt letters that we wrote to our dear friend and the family. The live streaming video cut out for 30 minutes while they were being played (not sure if the videos were even really played at this point until I get the chance to ask). I called the funeral home to ask about the live streaming interruption and they said that this is normal because the family was unable to provide them with a flash drive containing the videos. Therefore, the family needed to use the funeral home's computer and internet which they say interrupts the live stream and explains why it cut out. Which really made no sense because this video was sent directly to the funeral home's email. In this day and age I was surprised to see they had an issue with live streaming and pre-recorded videos when that is commonly used these days across streaming platforms everyday. I honestly think that they could've just streamed everything from an iPhone at this point. This hurt a lot however because my mom was so close to her and our letters/videos was our last opportunity to say goodbye. But I hope that she heard it and that the family did as well. I honestly never seen anything worse than this. This was so unorganized and careless service. I imagine they were paid a lot to do this and it couldn't be done right. I can't believe I'm writing this about a funeral home. I wouldn't recommend you to bury your dog here.

We have continued to bury family members at this cemetery with the latest being my mother in January 2018.
