You expect for them to be calm, collected, patient and empathic. Platt's was none of these things. I went in to get information about how I needed to proceed. I made it clear that I was not under a time restraint and I had time to make the right decision. The lady that I spoke with, not only tried to convince me to get things I didn't want, she also tried to convince me to sign a contract before I left. Telling me that if anyone else needs to sign, that they can come in later. I understand that they are in the business to make money, but to take advantage of someone doing this time is unacceptable. Ultimately, I went with Augusta Cremation & Funeral Care. Mr. Williams and his team took care of my loved one with care.

This was not only displayed throughout the service but also during the business aspect of the process. Now to fast track ahead one year after mom was buried. On Memorial day this year (2019) family went to the graveyard to pay our honors. We drove down from ATL. We were heartbroken and saddened when we got there that a headstone had not been ordered and placed on mom's site as was promised (family member). So, hubby and I called Mr. Reid (Sr) for guidance and direction (a year later!). He remembered us. His service did not stop last Spring. when mom passed but he treated us as though we were still his customers. We were very touched and will follow through with his directions. I rated this funeral home with a 4 star only because they could use an update on some of their aesthetics (looks) ... modernize the facility. Other than that the facility was clean, customer service great and staff was/is very accommodating!

Joe went above and beyond for our family…read more My father passed away on September 3, and my mom, my sisters and I came to Beaufort to have Anderson Funeral Home handle his arrangements. From the moment we sat down with Joe, we knew we were in the right hands. We walked into that first meeting sad and somber, and by the end of it we were all laughing and in good spirits. That is a rare gift. Joe made every one of us feel comfortable and cared for, and he put our entire family at ease. In the days leading up to the funeral, Joe stayed in constant contact to make sure we had everything we needed. He helped us set up Dad's online memorial page, took care of countless other arrangements, and even planted a tree in my father's honor. Joe and Anderson Funeral Home took care of everything from start to finish. Joe also drove the hearse carrying my father on the day of his service. My mom, my sisters and I all took so much comfort in knowing it was Joe with him. Joe is professional, compassionate, and simply one of the most wonderful people we've ever met. We are so grateful for him and would recommend Anderson Funeral Home, and Joe especially, to any family going through a loss.

Close to the major cemeteries in…read morethe area and spacious rooms, this facility offers all the amenities a family needs to pay last respects. With a small cemetery in the back and amble parking on the grass, there is plenty of room for parking. It is right off a major thruway and easy to find for out of towners. With two entrances, it is easy for entrance and exit prior and after a ceremony. Each room has TV screens for memorial videos and photo sharing and the music selection is representative of positive thoughts and memory sharing. The staff is very kind and respectful about meeting all your needs and providing all the time needed for mourning, receiving lines and conversation. Given its purpose, Anderson Funeral Home provides a very nice facility and warm staff.

A needle in a haystack. This "cemetery" gets a 3.7 stars because:…read more 1. The mystery of it all. The last recorded burial was in 1910. So somewhere, under all that dirt, there are human remains. There are no identification markers, except for one that was erected as a monument by Augusta in 1981. Surrounding the site are homes and a highway. 2. It's peaceful and there's a bench. The community surrounding the cemetery looks sketchy, but it's probably because it's so old. I didn't have any problems there, though I don't recommend visiting after midnight without a taser or a proton pack. Augusta has a wonderful opportunity to develop this cemetery into a walkable, possibly botanical attraction, but still maintain its historical identity. It will cost a bit of money, but it will benefit and beautify a community that desperately needs it. I'm sure that roaming spirits would not mind a nice beautification project.

It's difficult to "review" a cemetery - you just don't think of it as a reviewable place. But,…read morebeing a place I know well, I'll provide my thoughts on various aspects of it that others may find helpful: LOCATION Near the Augusta National, Westover is accessible via Berkmans Road SIZE Very large - if attending a funeral here, the roadways will be marked with "Funeral Route" signage. Note that most of the roadways in the cemetery are just barely wide enough for two vehicles to pass each other. If encountering one coming toward you, slow down and hug the shoulder of the road. THE GROUNDS The grounds are well maintained, and include a duck pond and meditation garden. Do be aware that, while you're welcome to place flowers and other memorials at a tombstone, the maintenance crew will remove them and throw them out once they're out of season. Westover is a peaceful place - allowing you to think and remember.

Every member of their staff was professional, compassionate, patient, and incredibly responsive from beginning to end. They truly listened to our wishes and honored every detail as we laid my precious daddy to rest. Their kindness and genuine care brought comfort to our entire family. They were also very accommodating and flexible, even allowing us to include a special personal request that meant so much to us.

My friend prepaid for his own funeral arrangements. It was agreed to at that time, with witnesses,…read morethat his friends and family from the North Augusta area would be able to view his body at the Posey's North Augusta SC location on Georgia Ave after his passing. So he passed and I witnessed Posey's telling his surviving wife that friends and family would NOT be allowed to view his body, the wife only could view. The actual viewing would be in another State because the immediate family had called after the death and made changes. This broke my friend's wife's heart and she cried as she ran out. This upset me because this man paid for a final wish that he wasn't going to get. It was explained to me (not him) that the law says immediate family is brother and sisters and not the surviving wife. Brothers and sisters can change funeral plans regardless of who pays for the services or what the original agreement was. I protested this and 2 men representing Posey's finally relented and told me that friends and family now COULD view the body. This satisfied me because I believed them. In the end only the wife and 1 person was allowed into the building. You readers know it would cost more money to allow other people in, you also understand my friend asked for and paid for this service. My advice to people considering trusting these people to handle a funeral is simple... You have been warned. Buyer beware!!!
