Newton-Bracewell Cremation and Funeral Service

Newton-Bracewell Cremation and Funeral Service

(3 reviews)

I used Newton bracewell for my husband's cremation in 2009. At that time I requested a handprint…read morescan to have a piece of jewelry made by a company called Thumbies. I have worn it ever since. My mother died on June the 2nd and since they took such good care of my husband I had her sent to Newton bracewell for cremation and ask them to do a hand scan so that I could have the same jewelry made. I was informed by Raphael that they no longer do a hand scan only a thumb and then the company will enlarge the thumbprint into a handprint. I didn't think that was true but I believed him just the same. When I went to order my piece of jewelry I was informed by the company that they needed a hand scan if I wanted a handprint. I called Newton bracewell and was informed by Dane that they no longer do hand scans because it is too time-consuming and difficult and they don't turn out perfectly. This is not the information I was given and Raphael actually lied to me. He didn't tell Dane that I wanted a handprint he didn't give me the option for a handprint even if it didn't turn out perfectly I would have rather had a handprint than just a thumbprint. Although Dane expressed great sympathy for the mix-up I was devastated at being lied to number one and number two not having the piece of jewelry with her handprint on it to remember her by. There is no way for a do-over once they are cremated. It is finished and there's no going back. I cannot say how disappointed or sad or angry I am at not having that handprint to hold and remember my mother by. If you do consider using Newton brace well as your funeral home and you want a handprint to remember your loved one by I suggest you not let Rafael assist you and go straight to Dane and insist on having them try to do the hand scan. I would much rather have had a imperfect handprint then the nothing I have now.

I don't know if 1 star for a mortuary company is fair, but if you make 1 mistake in this very…read moresensitive business, it's a failure. I made 1 request, which I later found out was supposed to be a standard procedure. The request was for a fingerprint which they upload and the image can be used to provide a piece of jewelry to memorialize the deceased. The device they used to take the fingerprint failed to capture the fingerprint, and the chance to recover the print was lost after her cremation. I was called back by the owner and his apology was sincere. Overall, there can be no mistakes in this business. I stand by my review and am still upset 5 months later.
