I was in a complete state of shock, the dog was barking, and I didn't have the slightest idea how the process worked. Mr. Snowden was wonderful with me! It was Friday night and I caught him out at dinner. He took my call and was so kind and gentle on the phone even though I was clearly giving him attitude for eating dinner when my mom needed to picked up. He spoke to my dad and and was so understanding. I waffled back and forth whether to use a different company because I thought the price was too low (I was in shock, please understand). Mr. Snowden never seemed annoyed or frustrated with me. He remained polite and empathetic everyt time I called him to check when they were going to pick up my mom (minutes felt like hours - in all, it took them 2.5 hours to arrive). When the two gentlemen arrived to pick up my mom, they were very respectful, especially a young man named Chambers. Two days later, my dad, sister and I went to the funeral home to meet him. Mr. Snowden had such warm and sincere energy he treated us all with the utmost respect. We were just having her cremated and having a few Death Certificates made, he never tried to upsell us on anything. They had her remains, Death Certificates and all her paperwork ready by Wednesday that week, and they included a beautiful plaque. The whole process cost half what one funeral home wanted. I highly recommend Snowden Funeral Home. Mr. Snowden, thank you so much for treating my mom, and my entire family with such care and respect.

It is not easy making this review and I am not one to critic a place of business, but I feel I…read moreshould share my experience with Snowden Funeral Home for families that are, unfortunately, looking for a funeral home for their lost loved one(s). To start off, initially when meeting the staff, they were very welcoming. Mr. Dooms is very good at what he does and seems very sympathetic; at least before you sign off on that piece of paper agreeing to the costs for services, which is very expensive by the way... Business is business, and I can understand that. My issue is not with pricing or the cost but with the actual service my family received. To say the least, the "makeup artist" did a horrific job. After confronting Mr. Dooms and the makeup artist about our issues, they were extremely defensive, unapologetic and quite rude. This was very shocking since they had been so nice previously. This resulted in having a closed casket ceremony in which we absolutely did not want. This was completely amateur and unacceptable. There isn't much we can do now but I want to share our experience with anyone looking for a funeral home. This is a horrible choice for your family. They made an already horrible moment even worse. It is all about the money for them. They should be ashamed of themselves.

I remember for my grandpa funeral a long long time ago there was a manager name Tracy who was really good and was super helpful during the process. Since Tracy has been gone the quality is declining and now the business is just gear toward money making. The interior is old but clean. The viewing room is very spacious. When it time to leave and drive to the cemetery the funeral home doesn't have placard card to put into people car in case you get a ticket from going past a red light.

When a loved one passes, your brain just stops working and you find yourself useless in every way. Norbeck helped us through every single detail of the process. The director there, Amanda, spent so much time with us, listening to our needs and giving us the most helpful advice, not just for the arrangements, but for our personal lives as well. She went through everything step by step and was very accommodating to our needs. We also ended up using their chapel which was very nice and spacious. There is a separate room for the family to go into for some privacy and it even has its own bathroom and water. I thought for sure we would run out of tissues but they provided us with unlimited tissues (I know silly but very convenient). They also provided water at the burial site which was really nice on a 98 degree day. We were able to create slide shows to play in the chapel and the sound system was great! I was so surprised at the level of professionalism and kindness meanwhile really connecting with the family and helping us through the hardest thing we have ever gone through. Since the burial, we have visited consistently and the lawn has been kept very well and tidy. The deer like to eat the flowers you take and leave the stems but the people there clean it up. Overall this was the best possible outcome during the worst possible time and I am grateful we got to meet Amanda and have her by our side during this time.

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.

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.

I did…read morenot attend a service but happened to stumble upon it on my way home from visiting another historical cemetery in Rockville with my friend Forrest. Forrest had mentioned that he knew about it but had not actually ever stopped by to explore the grounds. He and I enjoy visiting old historic sites which include these kinds of establishments. This is a gem that is clearly not frequented. When we rolled up, the welcoming sign says 'The church that named Bethesda'. OK, you learn something every day! Cool. Obviously, this place is extremely old if the city is named after this place. The church is still active and service is at 11am. I do not know what denomination it is currently, but the old decrepit cemetery next to it is Presbyterian and what I believe it was established at its founding. The grounds themselves are well-maintained. The road that leads up to the church limits to one car on the road. Good luck if you're trying to pass someone because there simply is no room to move around them. We discovered that really quickly when we parked off to the side, and someone from the church came up to my car to investigate who were these people on the premises? We talked to them and they were pleasantly surprised to see the place had piqued out interest. We didn't have the opportunity to go inside the church, but we did take some photos of the outside and read a couple of plaques talking about the old building. If you're into history and a person who enjoys old architecture - this is worth seeing when in the area.
