Terry, don't lecture your clients like they're stupid. If you would speak up and audibly articulate your questions, you wouldn't be asked to repeat the questions so many times. Also we felt rushed at the actual funeral service. Don't operate your funeral services like you're trying to turn over tables and booths in a busy restaurant. Being asked to physically leave the funeral site 16 minutes after the conclusion of the service was rude and unacceptable. If you're that tightly packed with your alleged schedule, then perhaps you need to revisit your scheduling policies. All in all, the whole thing was a nasty experience, From our first meeting to discuss arrangements, all the way through the service. I cannot recommend this business at all. They used to have a sterling reputation in Columbus. Since selling out to a huge corporation (Dignity) I am learning of frequent dissatisfaction with Striffler Hamby. And no, I'm not going to contact you to discuss this further. You have all the data you need right here in my review.

My husband passed a year ago this past November. It's taken me this long to think about my review…read moreinstead of reacting in the moment. When selecting a funeral home I selected this one mainly because my hubby wished to be cremated and the crematory was on site. In our meeting, I was highly disappointed in the behavior of the director for several reasons. First, when I mentioned I had read all about cremations on google, his comment was that's where I made a mistake. Not only was that not called for but so very untrue. I learned so many things I did not know. I was as able to ask to see my husband which I did. He seemed surprised but let me. Then his cell phone rang and he proceeded to carry on a conversation with his wife when he should have said I'll have to call you back. Instead they talked about lunch. I ask if he needed to excuse himself. I ask to see the crematory for the purpose of cleanliness. He did take me down to it but also proceeded to take the clipboard off the wall to show me how they log who's in there and I knew this from google. You could see the clipboard so no need to remove it to the point I could read the persons name. He proceeded to open the crematory itself after I ask him please not to knowing someone's remains were in there. At that point I was absolutely devastated thinking to myself what would their family think along with the invasion of privacy. I went home thinking very hard if I wanted to have my husband picked up and taken somewhere else. I chose to stay there and discuss my concerns afterward and we did. You also have the right to view the cremation process and take part in process. I elected to see my hubby's care until the end and my son and the crematorium placed him up on the roller and I pushed the crematory button to start the process. Something I still do not regret. The crematorium assured me it would not be opened until his remains were removed. When I picked up his remains they were in a black box where the lid did not even fit securely. It kept coming off. It had to be taped shut. I special ordered his urn so I elected to move him over myself at home once it came in. I will say the response time to the Bethany House was incredible. And he was able to get the casket I picked out from Montgomery before the next morning and my husband looked at peace in it. I was very satisfied with the great job they did preparing him. And the director did apologize although he also made excuses along the way. So off to a rocky start but all worked out in the end. A year ago I would have rated them a 1. I do think this is probably an amazing place. Everyone else couldn't have been more respectful. Hopefully the director and his wife learned a few things during my journey.
