    Wish we went here instead. The funeral director did everything herself and she was very organized. We missed out, you shouldnt

They prepared my loved one's body with so much care and respect. The level of care and compassion that the staff provided at the funeral and committal services will be appreciated forever. My entire family thanks you for your service and support during this difficult time.

We spoke with everyone from the numerous receptionists to Funeral Directors to the listed Office Manager. Each of these representatives assured us they would check on the challenge and get back to us. At one point, a minister called to confirm what we wanted at my sister's service that was scheduled for the upcoming Friday. To our surprise, the funeral home got our sister's remains mixed up with another deceased person. My sister was not having a service and was being cremated. The minister was very apologetic. At no point did any of the representatives (6 people) call us back after stating that they would. All communications were initiated by us. We needed communication with the funeral home even if it was to say they are still looking into our concerns. Not one of these people returned our calls.

I thought my life was over when I loss…read moremy dearest Grandma to Covid but Morris Funerals and Cremation Services made the whole funeral process seamless from start to finish. Marche is very professional and was extremely patient with my mother and I who both were emotional going through this funeral planning experience for the first time. It definitely feels weird actually writing a Yelp review for a Funeral Home but if my recommendations are used for valuable opinion of my taste in food, amenities, and more happy services... please take my advice for a funeral home. In the event that you ever need one I wouldn't look any further than Morris Funerals and Cremation Services. Everything was reasonably priced and lower than other funeral homes in Maryland that quite frankly to me seemed to be "milking" patrons due the surge in deaths from this killer Coronavirus. They went above and beyond considering the circumstances all while following state mandates and social distancing. Hopefully I personally won't have to visit them anytime soon but I know where to direct someone when they do.

So, I could tell it was going to be "one of those days" Did they provide a good value for their service? Yes, cause it's only money, and you cant take it with you. Did they respond quickly? Hope so! Were they reliable? Not my problem anymore... M.

    Pay attention and watch this R.N. Horton funeral Service they will try and do take advantage of the…read morefamily and charge your love ones an additional 1,000.00 to have your love one service on a Saturday after the arrangements have been already fully paid for in advance of your love one passing. Examine the prepaid contract if they insist on getting the additional $1,000.00 well pay them for what they have done and have your love one picked up from Hortons by the new funeral home and taken to the other funeral home that will respect you get a refund from Hortons and this part is "important" get the new funeral home to order your casket. 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. .

    I do recommend this place because of the ease of planning as it relates to services. They provide…read moreyou with several options. 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. If you are helping someone with planning while they are grieving or suffered a loss it is very confusing to just sit down and look at a paper with no real guidance or direction. 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.

She held my hand and guided me through the entire process! COVID has made the military funerals a crazy process, That said, Mary was very creative and we had a beautiful civilian memorial service with MILITARY HONORS, cremation and then placing his remains at Arlington cemetery when the military is available. Because of Mary Hedgman's knowledge and experience in planning both civilian and military funeral's, we were able to celebrate my father's life in a very beautiful and meaningful manner sending him home with GRACE. Hedgman Funeral Service took all the stress away me and my family during this most devastating time in our lives and LISTENED to my desires for my father's funeral and made it happen! This is a first-class funeral service and God forbid I need more funeral service assistance BUT if I do - Hedgman will be my first and ONLY call! Thank you Mary Hedgman you are beautiful person and such a blessing! God Bless!

As can be expected, I was extremely upset from my mom's sudden passing...didn't really know what to ask for. This was my first time having to make such difficult arrangements. The woman that answered my call that night spoke to me very manifactly and never offered her condolences. I actually spoke to her twice. During the second call, I lost it!! While telling me the steps, costs and how everything will go she said, and I quote "When your mother gets here, we'll put her in the freezer"...I busted out crying and yelled "You're talking about my mother like she's a piece of meat". At which point I feel she realized she did something terribly wrong! She apologized and rephrased by saying "Once your mother comes into our care". I couldn't believe my ears. I felt like I had been stabbed by a knife in my chest. The next day my siblings and I went to say our final goodbyes to our mother. I spoke to the director, Bill about the phone call with his staff member. Once I was done, he also spoke very matter-of-factly, he did not apologize for that person's interaction, behavior, words. He said to me "Okay, we'll look into it". He also did not offer any condolences to us. I pray no other family has such a bad experience there. I certainly will not use their services again and obviously don't recommend them.

    I hope you never need this service for a loved one. A funeral during a pandemic has an extra layer…read moreof sadness. Safety protocols were followed at the funeral home. The only detail that was disappointing was having a female staff member standing under the canopy at the cemetery. Only six people could sit, due to safe distancing. She should have moved so I could have stood under the canopy. She saw that I was recording the service. I didn't ask her to move since I didn't want that heard on the video or to cause a distraction. The man who met us at the funeral home also drove the hearse and instructed how to follow him. He was kind and gave us privacy before we left the building. The funeral home covers tickets if you drive through a red light en route to the cemetery (it only works that day). The casket was beautiful. They even gave my friend a manicure. When you are grieving, those special touches matter. The flowers were carefully handled. Due to covid, most people only attended the grave side service.
