It was finally put in place in March of 24 and they sent me a photo. I was unable to get to the cemetery to check it out but I finally got there in the summer, and was shocked to see that it had been placed in a spot distant from where my parents' ashes had been buried. None of my texts and emails have been answered. Here it is in the summer of 26 and it is still in the same place.

They picked up her body exactly on time, they supported my mother's wish for a simple, green burial, and they made the choices easy for us with no upselling pressure. It was even nice to have their smoothly competent help as the pallbearers did their job at the grave site. Their assistance in placing the death notices was invaluable. If we face such a difficult time again, we will be seeking their help again.

I am not sure how the Bath funeral home is, but I can tell you that I was less than impressed with…read morethe funeral home staff in the Brunswick location. My family was there for the passing of a family member. Upon entering the funeral home for the wake, the staff member was located in her office the entire time on Facebook rather than holding the door or assisting the customer. At 7PM exactly she came out of her office and proceeded to grab the urn like a football and walk off. We still had 25 guests or so at the service. My wife was extremely upset at not getting to say goodbye personally to her family member. The staff member's excuse was that she had to be back at 9AM to go to the church for the service there. IT IS YOUR JOB TO DO THAT. The following day at the church, I approached the same staff member and asked if we could move the urn to a separate room so that my wife and some other family members could have one on one time. We were told that there was no room available in the church. I brought up 2 places and she said, No it can't be there. Finally another staff member, who only came for the church service stepped in and assisted me. He was very professional and assisted me the way I believe a funeral director should.

I called today to try and make similar arrangements and to pre-pay. When I tried to call (really that's where I started) , the most bizarre "voice" answered - pretty sure it was the world's worst AI. The AI claimed it couldn't hear me and hung up on me. I tried to call again and did get a human being but it was a callback service. I also tried filling out a form but that directed me to a sales person who wanted to know when to call. When I asked to speak with the same person I dealt with 9 years, they responded that no one is there from 9 years. Since we worked with the owner 9 years ago, that must mean Advantage was sold.
