Being in a state of grief, I was hesitant to expose myself to any potential negative experiences or customer service issues. However, I decided to express my concerns directly to Skyway Memorial and get their feedback before making a final decision. I am immensely grateful that I did because my experience with them under the new management has been nothing short of outstanding.

I can now confidently say that choosing Skyway Memorial was the best decision I could have made. Under the new management, they have truly transformed their approach to customer service and exceeded my expectations in every way. Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail was exemplary throughout the entire process. The care and consideration they demonstrated during the arrangements for my loved one's cremation was exceptional. Kimberly took the time to listen attentively to my requests and preferences, ensuring that my requests were honored which provided comfort during an extremely difficult time. Her commitment to making the process as comfortable as possible and the way that Kimberly made me feel during the viewing made the moment even more meaningful which was evident in every aspect of the service. On the day of the cremation service, I was deeply moved by the level of professionalism and care exhibited by the entire team. Kimberly gave me grace and allowed me more time during the viewing to focus on honoring my loved one's memory. Furthermore, the staff at Skyway Memorial exhibited unwavering patience, kindness, and empathy during this difficult time. They provided a supportive environment that allowed me to express my emotions and concerns openly. Their genuine understanding and willingness to go the extra mile made a significant difference in easing my burden and navigating the process with greater ease. In conclusion, I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for the positive experience I had with Skyway Memorial.

I normally do not leave negative reviews, but after giving management over a month to respond to my…read moreconcerns, I feel this experience needs to be documented. My concerns are specifically related to Funeral Director/Location Manager Kay Waites. Amanda and Debbie, however, were both wonderful to work with. During my mother's arrangements in early February, there were repeated documentation errors throughout the process. My address and my mother's address were entered incorrectly multiple times and even combined together in some documents (for example, my street number with her street name and vice versa). My grandmother's name was also used in place of my mother's name on multiple occasions. The document links had to be resent approximately nine times over several days because I repeatedly had to point out errors that still had not been fully corrected throughout the documents. In some cases, one section would be fixed while the same incorrect information remained elsewhere in the same paperwork. When I arrived to pick up my mother's ashes, the signage still displayed my grandmother's first name. I also picked up the death certificates at that time, only to later realize the address was still incorrect and required a state amendment and additional waiting period to correct. Due to the volume of errors, I became concerned enough during the process that I directly asked for confirmation that my mother's remains were being handled correctly. During the process, Kay told me she was "juggling 20 families at once" and agreed when I expressed concern that this seemed like too much for one person to properly manage. On April 6, I contacted Area Manager Duane to formally document these concerns. Although he initially acknowledged my email and stated he would investigate, I never received any follow-up despite multiple follow-ups and more than a month of additional time. I have retained emails, text messages, photographs, and documentation supporting the concerns outlined above and am happy to provide them if necessary. Because I never received any follow-up from management despite multiple attempts to address these concerns, I was ultimately left without any reassurance that these issues were taken seriously or addressed internally, and I felt the need to warn others about my experience. I have since heard from multiple reliable sources that similar issues had occurred previously, which makes this experience even more concerning. This was already one of the hardest periods of my life, and having to repeatedly correct legal documents and identity information during my mother's arrangements added an unnecessary layer of stress that no family should have to experience again.

It has taken me over three years to find the strength to write this review…read more After my mother passed away, I was told where she was being held. Having previously experienced the compassion and humanity shown by funeral professionals in Indiana, I believed I would be allowed a brief, private moment to see my mother and say goodbye. Instead, when I contacted Brown Funeral Home, I was told that my sister had paid for the least expensive cremation option and that I could come to identify my mother's body for 20 minutes at a cost of $385. I was also told that the funeral home would need to contact the Power of Attorney for permission. I specifically asked that the Power of Attorney not be contacted because of the circumstances surrounding my mother's care and death. Despite that request, the Power of Attorney was contacted. I was subsequently told that I could view my mother's body, but that it would be classified as an "identification," limited to 20 minutes, and would cost $385. For me, this was not simply a business transaction. This was my mother. I was grieving and wanted the opportunity to see her, say goodbye, and have a moment of closure. Being told that this opportunity would cost $385 and require permission from another person was devastating. What has stayed with me for more than three years is not simply the cost. It was the lack of compassion I experienced during one of the most painful moments of my life. Families deserve dignity, compassion, and humanity when they are saying goodbye to someone they love. My experience with Brown Funeral Home did not feel that way, and it is an experience I will never forget.

I have never had to cremate anyone before, so I had questions. Well, Teri didn't feel like answering questions, I guess. She was aggravated and responding with sarcasm. She even called me back to "prove me wrong" about the fact that I was talking to the wrong person at the Coroner's office, which happened to be the person that answers the phone, so that was out of my control. Thankfully, I found another service (Going Home Cremation Services) that was extremely nice and helpful and didn't mind answering questions. You really shouldn't be in this career field if you can't be nice; people that have just lost someone need kindness, - not aggravation and sarcasm. No surprise, when I called to cancel Covell's services, they didn't even ask why, since they just. don't. care.
