Julie was exceptional in her assistance, offering guidance and options we never even considered. She made planning simple, straightforward, with NO pressure or slick salesmanship. It was more like sitting down with a friend. We know we planned well for our loved one's final journey when we chose Middendorf. They are truly a blessing to us!

This is a hard review to make due to the loss of our baby, but I want to share how absolutely…read moreAMAZING Heaven's Gain has been for us. We recently (as of this review) lost our unborn child in the first trimester and, despite a miscarriage, managed to recover the tiny body. We immediately knew we wanted to honor our child and bury them, but had no idea where to begin. After some web searches and a call to some funeral homes, we found Heaven's Gain and I gave a nervous call. Donna answered and immediately expressed condolences for our loss as we informed her why we were calling. We began to try to ask tough questions, and I'm so grateful for Donna's willingness to ready and kindly provide such great information which made me feel less like I needed to have all the right questions ready during such a hard time. She was empathetic, compassionate, sensitive and so wonderful during the entire call. Because of her help, we felt we could make an informed decision on how to proceed which we so desperately needed. We chose to bury our child, and I greatly appreciated the fantastic information they had on their site and that Donna gave us by phone as well as to what our options would/could be. We visited their new physical location and they had a beautiful selection of caskets. Donna, before we began choosing a casket, sat us down and didn't launch into any sales talk; instead she asked about us, how we were personally doing and took time to get to know us and our situation. She gave us wonderful advice and tips on how to handle ourselves and our loss as we start to move forward from our loss. We never felt pressured into buying or doing anything; in fact, Donna was clear that whether we chose Heaven's Gain or not, they were also available to help us and be there for a call and listening ear to help. We were blown away with how giving and kind they were. They have beautiful caskets available and gave us great information about what we would need depending on how we laid our child to rest. Through this terrible loss, Heaven's Gain has been one bright spot that has given us hope - there are people and organizations available that help make the roughest times bearable, that people can be truly selfless and caring to others even when they have no obligation, and that kindness from caring strangers can make the biggest difference when you're in the worst of places. I cannot even recommend Heaven's Gain Ministries enough. Donna was amazing and this group is incredible to work with, even while we were dealing with the most terrible loss. They gave us the chance to be informed, without being pressured, on dealing with laying our unborn child to rest and helped us every step of the way. So glad this organization exists and thank you to the leaders and volunteers who help make this resource and support possible.

I joined a Facebook support group related to SIDS and infant loss. One of the moms shared her…read morebaby's urn and it was the sleeping baby inside angel wings. As soon as i saw it, i wanted one for the baby i lost to SIDS 11yrs. ago. The mom forgot where she bought it from so i started searching for it in the internet and it brought me to Heaven's Gain. They have the non-urn version of the sleeping baby in angel wings so i ordered right there and then. I love that this organization have plenty of options and variations because these items will serve as a memorial piece for our beloved children/babies. The shipping was fast and it was packaged securely. It brought me to tears seeing my order. It's the most perfect memorial for my baby boy, especially the message written on the angel wings and the size of it is perfect. I am very happy for finding this organization and i shared this organization to other moms/parents in our support group. Thank you for the bottom of my heart for everything you do for grieving parents.

This cemetery matches up to those in terms of the quality of the groundskeeping and the ability to navigate around the cemetery. The grounds here are beautiful and it's clear that the groundskeeping staff works hard to keep this place in excellent condition as a sign of respect to those who are laid to rest here. Salmon Chase (Governor and Supreme Court), Rudolph Wurlitzer (founder of the Wurlitzer company), Bernard Henry Kroger (founder of the Kroger supermarket chain), both Procter and Gamble. It's a revered place and it was a positive experience to visit these graves and pay tribute to those who came before. [Review 20494 overall - 221 in Ohio - 1474 of 2023.]

From the initial phone call with Preston Charles himself, I knew everything would be exactly what my Aunt wanted in honoring her wishes. Preston and his entire staff was the epotime of professionalism, compassion, caring and personalizing all of our arrangements. The coordination of activities with "Beech Grove Cemetary" in Cincinnati, Ohio, and "A Better Place Funeral Home" in Denver, Colorado was aboulutely seamless. Preston Charles did absolutely everything he could for us to make this difficult journey, less challenging. He not only provided the most excellent services, he established a relationship with our entire family that will forever remain. To the entire Preston Charles Funeral Home Family and Staff, God Bless You, Forever, Amen.

I'm writing this review based on the funeral home's communication. I ordered flowers for a family…read moremember's service, but unfortunately, the florist was giving conflicting information regarding delivery. I wanted to make sure I had enough time to place another order if needed, since the service was the following day. I called the number listed for the funeral home and reached a phone service instead of the actual business. I provided my name, the name of the deceased, and my phone number. The representative didn't ask the reason for my call but said a director would return it. Three hours later, I followed up and reached another agent who informed me the funeral home was closed for the day but would still pass along the message. This time, I was able to explain that I was calling about a service happening the next day. It's been 72 hours since I left those messages, and I still haven't received a response. This doesn't sit well, as communication is a major part of service when planning for a loved one. I don't have a good impression of Walker Funeral Home and would not consider using them in the future.
