Watch Out! Memorial Cemetery will attempt to get every dollar out of you they can possibly squeeze…read moreand say anything to get it. The first big shock was they wanted to charge $500 to drive my mother from their memorial offices a few hundred feet to her grave. When they agreed to lower the fee they said we could use the office van instead of the hearse. They finally decided on the hearse on the day of her funeral. The one request my mother had before she died, which we shared with Memorial Funeral Home, was to be buried under the shade of a tree. We asked to see plots near trees. Memorial guaranteed my mother would be buried under the tree we chose. Memorial said they could not guarantee what would happen to the grounds fifty years or more in the future, but that in the near future, my mother would have her tree. Horribly, one year later, the tree has been removed to make room for more graves. We would have chosen a different park if we knew of their plans. Extremely disappointing!

Tyler M Woods Funeral Director

When my dad died last year, Tyler Woods performed the cremation for our family. In addition to…read moreperforming the cremation, he stated he would provide the death certificate. However, after contacting him via telephone at least 4 different times as well as sending emails, we have yet to receive either document or any form of communication from him. Every time I contact Mr. Woods, I get essentially the same response that he's currently busy with another matter and will contact me within a few hours. He has not contacted me once by telephone and has not responded to the email I sent. The total lack of communication is very unprofessional. It shouldn't be necessary for families to constantly pursue routine documents, such as death certificates. I truly hope he does better on both communication and customer service. Empathy, respect, and dependability are required when working in an area where people support families during some of the hardest moments in their lives. The final thing a grieving family member wants to experience is added stress and aggravation due to lack of follow through.

My husband and I were in the process of moving to Jefferson City with my sister (who was mentally challenged) and our pets. We discovered that my sister was terminally ill and I knew I would have to make funeral arrangements quickly. I remembered how wonderful they were when my father-in-law passed away two years ago. They made an unbearable situation bearable. They got to know me and sat and listened. It was especially hard because we had lost my mother just a year before. They truly cared and when the time came, they let me know that they would take good care of my sister. They were truly concerned with my feelings. I can't begin to say how much I appreciated their care and kindness.

If you need help with the big or small details, you can count on the funeral planning team to take all the stress off your hands. A cremation service can consist of the standalone process of a direct cremation with families choosing to scatter the ashes on their own time. Or you can choose to plan a memorial ceremony to hold after the cremation is completed. If veteran services or military honors are part of your plans, the team can help secure those benefits and implement traditional accommodations into the service. Along with basic funeral products like caskets, urns, vaults, and memorials, you can choose unique grave markers for the deceased. The benefits of selecting an involved funeral planning team are grief resources to help you through the mourning process.

Freeman Mortuary

Made the death of my wife MUCH worse than it should have been:…read more1) Embalmed instead of creamating as requested 2) Forced my friends to stand outside in the snow and rain because they would not allow a viewing because: 3) They scared the shit out of me by erroneously telling me she was both HIV and hepatitis positive (both were wrong); as a physician I know there was no need to leave my friends out in the cold when Phil Freeman could have let them into the lobby, but he chose not to let them in! 4) Took forever to finally get her ashes However, in order to 'make it right I was told, "you will not be charged for the embalming", how generous of them to not charge me for something they were not to do to begin with!!

I returned the equipment at 2:08 pm on Tuesday and upon checkout I was told the equipment was due back at 8:30 am on Tuesday, and I was charged nearly a full extra day, $306.16. If I had been told it was due back at 8:30 am I would have had it back on time. UPDATE: After posting the one star review, I noticed I had a 10 am voicemail from the person in charge that I spoke to at Lindsey inquiring about the return of the equipment. However, I still know what I was told.

The winter of 2026 I took the mower in for a yearly and was never notified of the status. On March 30, 2026 I called and picked it up. Six weeks later, May 15, 2026, the starter rope, which had been replaced, separated from the handle. I took the mower in for repair and was informed that FPLL no longer worked on Honda products, no longer was a Honda dealer, and could no longer get Honda parts. When I pointed out that the work was six weeks old and that I felt they had some level of responsibility for their work, they repeated they could not get parts. I asked if it needed parts and the rep agreed to look at it but it would be 2 weeks. Over 2 weeks later I called, they had done nothing and that I had been advised that they no longer worked on Honda products. When I asked why I didn't receive a call and wasted two weeks he replied that I had "gotten smart with their rep. just like l was being with him". I assured him that my next purchase, and any to follow would not be with FPLL to which he replied "Take it to Jones Honda". If he'd have said that two weeks earlier I wouldn't be writing this review.

Let's just say after a failed marriage the death of my grandma and an overdose of a best friend this road I been on hasn't been easy but every time that I have f***** up and try it again she always welcomes me back with open arms and never and Ill word to say. She has gone above and beyond to show me that I am worth it and is probably the biggest reason than I am free today and not still sitting behind bars. It saddens my heart that people would write such things about her because they're stuck in their own addiction and even though she has a heart she has a backbone and she's not going to let someone just walk over the top of her. So with that being said I want you all to know that when we first met she held titled bail bondsman best one I knew but today she not only holds a title as my friend my confidant my biggest supporter but when I speak of her I call her my 2nd mother because one time I asked her why do you fight for me so hard and she said cuz I never got a daughter. Well you have one now and I would be honored and proud to call you mom. Thank you I will forever be grateful for everything that you do
