From the very first phone call, Mr. Kip Shaw was AMAZING. As someone coming from out of town, I truly appreciated the utmost respect he showed me. ​The pricing was fantastic and, more importantly, honest--the initial quote was exactly what I paid, with no surprises. Mr. Kip made me feel at ease during every interaction, and the entire staff was extremely pleasant. They took wonderful care of my brother and made a difficult process much easier. If you are local or from out of town, please trust Shaw & Davis with your loved ones.

Her hair was not fixed the way it was in the photo, they only put foundation on her not full make like she was in photo. Her clothes looked like they was just thrown on her. I would not recommend this funeral home to anyone. I was so heartbroken over losing my daughter and to see her not even close to looking the way she made herself was heartbreaking as well. Her service was rushed, family and friends was rushed out of the funeral home due to them closing at 7. Please DO NOT use this funeral home.

They were very professional, efficient, dedicated, and caring. The funeral director, the limo driver, the office staff, even the motorcade security all took this task as if it were their own family. That is how they made me feel and that was my experience with the Diehl-Whittaker team. They strove for excellence and they made us feel like family. We are grateful to Diehl-Whittaker for the care and expertise they lent in facilitating this day for our dear departed Father.

I recently read the response of Diehl-Whittaker Funeral Home to the concerns that was expressed…read moreabout the home going of Walter L Ford Jr. if I could give a half a star that's what they would get because at least he made it to the gravesite. I think it's awful funny that after the complaint on yelp and them trying to get the comment resented ,all of a sudden they're open to have at least 50 people to attend funerals of loved ones and family members. Since Mc Nabb went out of business, our family has used Diehl-Whittier on a regular basis. The buck STOPS here, I will never endorse their services for anyone that I care about. We come from a very large and extended family. when asked where do you want your loved one to go it's Definitely not Diehl Whittaker. I truly feel that they are insensitive to peoples feelings,they arein a business to give the deceased a proper burial or cremation but they need to remember to have empathy and compassion for the family. It's not all about the money and that's what it seems like what happened with my brother. You are in the business to bury humans and not treat people if they were a cat ,dog ,bird whatever. The Bible says I must forgive in order for my heavenly father forgive me. I forgive the staff of Diehl Whitaker and I will not call names, you know who you are. As for using your service or recommending your service again I (we) choose NOT to. There are many other funeral homes in the Columbus area. Maybe some sensitivity classes would be warranted and some additional training. Thank you Karla Brown

Now e-mails are arriving trying to sell me services. EVERY correspondence claims I have shown interest.

I keep demanding to see written proof that I requested information. It is a shame that they gave my information to some company when all I did was have my mother's funeral there a few months ago.

I found out 3 days later my son passed away i believe if i had not found out thru a friend that Schoedenger and Mr Clapham would had deceived me and continued on with his cremation without me (His Mother) even knowing. They together put an obituary in the Dispatch full of falsehoods when i asked Matt to change it or remove it he called my ex and they together decided to keep it up .i payed for a whole cremation of my son and was given no rights or respect from Schoedenger or Scott Clapham. This was my son i raised alone as mr. Clapham moved away and left his son years ago when George was 3 . So i write this review heart broken and so much hurt as i feel no mother should be treated the way i was by Matt picklestein of Schoedenger Funeral home and mr Scott E Clapham of Georgetown Kentucky.

At drop off on Thursday, I was told that my sweet boy would be cremated that day and that the engraver was off thru Friday so it would be the first of the week before I could pick up Toto in his urn. Monday came and went, as did Tuesday and Wednesday morning. I called on Wednesday afternoon/Thursday morning and was told that Toto was ready, they were just waiting on the engraving and that someone would be in touch in a day or two. Friday, Saturday and Sunday passed. On Monday afternoon I reached back out and again was told that Toto was ready but that the engraving was not and that it would be a day or two and someone would call. At that point i was in tears, i explained the the lack of communication about a deceased loved one was inexcusable. Roughly an hour later i got a call saying he was ready for pickup. Caleb called about an hour after that to make sure someone had called me. My husband went to bring our sweet baby back home. Lack of communication...the fact that i did not receive an apology either from the gal in the office or Caleb, and neither did my husband...all of this things compel me to leave this crappy review. I will def be going back to Schoedinger should the need arise again to cremate a furry family member. They may be more expensive but I was treated with the utmost respect and compassion when we lost a pet a couple of years ago. Woodyard...SHAME ON YOU!!
