I have always been curious about the building and have always admired the vintage neon sign out front. That first time I passed by was now about 16 years ago. And until recently I had never been in. As with any review of a funeral home, it comes under unfortunate circumstances. I did not personally work with the team at Ridout's since I was there for the passing of a friend's parent. So the review is based on the building itself. It was very easy to park and the inside was very nice. Plenty of room for a line to form. And they had water and tissues readily available.

They have damaged quite few people I know loved ones stones. We have been visiting and watch them run over headstones in a tracker. I know damn well they saw the vase (see photos) it's just carelessness. Not only are they super damn expensive it's disrespectful. Take just a few more minutes of your time and try not to knock the vases off that people pay money for off the stones. It's sooooo foul to me and then just stick her flowers in the hole where the damage was pissed us off. Her vases is no where to be seen and calling asking for it to see if it's salvageable is just pointless. No one has answered my calls since Monday. We just want to know if they have it so we can get it repaired. After finally reaching some where there it was discovered that the vase was STOLEN low life people are robbing graves. Even though the cemetery is locked at 5pm everyday there are no cameras and no proper patrol. Speaking with the funeral home where we purchased the headstone from was very helpful and friendly the city (the city of Bessemer owns the cemetery) has agreed to replace the vase for us.
