They were very good at laying out the necessary steps to hold a tasteful and respectful funeral for my Mom. Their established network and ability to coordinate with different local entities (church, floral arrangements, cemetery...) was helpful and put my Dad's mind at ease. They knew every required legality and did a great job walking us through this difficult process. My family especially appreciated the extra effort taken to console the very young Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren. Losing a loved-one is never easy. McMahon's Funeral Home did a great job making this difficult time a little easier.

A military honors guard was arranged with two flags to be presented to his two only sons and the director told the honor guard and I quote" it will go to the wife. By law or protocol or something" this was said in front of a family member. The one son got his flag and flagbox and the other son got an empty flagbox to go home with. My brother was 54 years old and had only been married for six months. Another flag had to be ordered. This was paid for by the sons and myself. And had been arranged prior to the service. Then after the service she opened the ash box and took out the bag of ashes and showed this to brothers 5 & 6 year old grandsons after thier mother had adamantly opposed this and told her. Then she said to these small children this is your grandpa. After that I was presenting two shell casings from the service to these two small boys and telling them that these were very special and that yhey had to take care to keep them safe forever. I had located one of these shells and was having difficulty locating the other in the bottom of my purse. I told the young boy I would find it at the dinner we were to attend following this. The funeral director said in front of my family and friends in attendance and I quote"no find it now dump your purse find it" I was on the ground in the middle of the parking lot. I was not hoing to dump my purse. I did find the shell right then and there though. I had handmade my brothers ash box out of solid oak. Had it engraved with his name and a goat"his nickname" on the top with the help and direction of his children. I then filled it with all my love and stained it with all my tears. Then I stained it and varnished it with two coats. I put brass handles , hinges and lock on it. At the funeral she purposefully put his picture on it to hide the box top from veiw. This was my last gift to my only brother and was very special. When we wanted to use a table to set up the video tribute we were denied a table and had to set up on a folding chair. She had even talked to my daughter to see if myself and his sons and daughter in law would say our speeches at the dinner instead of funeral because time was limited. Our answer was "no I will speak at my brother's funeral not the dinner and his sons have a right to talk as well.". Just disgraceful and disrespectful. No family should have to endure this from the funeral home staff at such a time. And I wouldn't even give a one star rating but I can not post without a rating.
