That is no ceremony, no viewing, just let Tri-state pick up the remains from the hospital and return them to me in a suitable container. I am sure Tri-state offers more elaborate funerals.

I highly recommend them.

I can't imagine a better experience than I had with Karyn Lord at Everly-Wheatley Funeral Home. From the first moment we met, I could tell that I wasn't just another client. Karyn and the rest of the team went out of their way to fulfill my requests quickly and elegantly. Even when we had many more mourners than anticipated they handled my requests with grace. Months after the service the staff has stayed in touch with me and offered any assistance needed, even during the pandemic. I am a journalist and had written about funeral services for years. Sadly, I've also lost several members of my family. I can't recommend Karyn Lord or Everly Wheatley Funeral Home highly enough.

They treated my family with so much love, dignity, compassion, and respect throughout the entire process of funeralizing my beloved Mother. Their professionalism, patience, kindness, and genuine care are truly the epitome of LOVE and EXCELLENCE. In one of the most difficult seasons of my life, they went above and beyond to make sure my family felt supported and cared for. Honestly, they were better to me and my family than any church family I have ever known. I wholeheartedly and highly recommend Ronald Taylor Funeral Home to anyone who is looking for a funeral home to care for their loved one with dignity, respect, compassion, and genuine love. Thank you, Ronald Taylor Funeral Home, for making one of the most painful moments in our lives a little easier. Your family treated my family like family, and for that, I will be forever grateful. With heartfelt appreciation, The Meadows Family

We had a memorial service elsewhere, so this was to be the only service provided. They offered a 3rd party for the programs and to place the obituary ad in the Washington Post. When we got the funeral program I immediately noticed McQuire had added their logo to the program w/out asking. It just showed up in the 1st round shared w/ us by the printer. I thought that was tacky but was able to have that removed. I should have taken this as a sign. We sent them the final copy of the obituary and the almost $700 for the fee to the Washington Post. However, this time we were not able to see/approve the obit before it was printed. I can't put into words the disgust I felt when I saw the funeral home had added "Funeral services at McQuire" to the final obituary. Besides the fact that we weren't asked if this was ok, it wasn't true. It would have been misleading for anyone looking for information about the memorial. This is greedy and shameful. They offered my father $16 as compensation for the pain their greed caused during the darkest time of our lives and for something that can't be fixed. To further confirm the integrity of this place, I'd like to add that we considered using them for limo services but their fee of $675 for a 9 seat car was over $200 more then the other estimates received. The last thing you want to be worried about when you lose a love one is being taken advantage of the funeral home. Try whichever other one that pops up in this screen instead. Your chances of not adding pain on top of pain will be better.

When we found out that he would be buried instead of in a niche, we decided to provide his ashes more protection against the elements.

She then transferred his remains into his new and beautiful resting place. While no one ever wants to have to visit a funeral home, it's inevitable and we will pick Advent again!

First for my Mom's cremation and memorial early in the year and second for my Dad's recent cremation and supporting us with the documents we need to travel with his and my Mom's ashes. It has been a very hard year for us to say the least but Coreen and her team made things very straightforward and understandable for us which took a lot off our shoulders. The Advent memorial room and facilities are intimate, private and a beautiful setting. We could bring in food and snacks to share with friends and family who attended the memorial. I can't thank Coreen and her team enough for all the help and support they provided my family. I highly recommend Advent when you suffer the loss of a loved one.
