They took an Obituary down since November supposedly it is being re-Written and here we are , almost 3 weeks, and the my mother's Obituary page is still not found on their site.

I called Bond for information about my grandmothers burial. Our family is small and distant so we did not have a funeral, just a service at the burial site. The man on the phone seemed too busy and interrupted me with a rash tone, and then was rushing me off the phone. I was caught off guard in my state of confusion and hung up with him not finishing my questions. After gathering my thoughts I called back again a few moments later, I got the same man on the phone and I politely asked him if he had the time to help me with a few more questions. He said he did, never once did he have a caring or sympathetic tone, I was wondering if I could see her before the burial, I got snapped at that shes already been cremated. as if he was speaking of the garbage being taken out. I broke down in tears bawling. not because he was treating me poorly but bc I was heartbroken my grandmother was gone and I didnt get to say goodbye. He still did not give ANY type of kind words or kind tone, not even an "I'm sorry for your loss" instead I received a very dry and cold "Okay buh bye then" All I can say is WOW, I later emailed them about this incident, this was 2 weeks ago. I never even received an apology email. After speaking to the family member who made the arrangements for my grandmother about it I was told that barely an hour after she died they were pushing invoices in front of him... Her body hadnt even been cold yet....LITERALLY. At the burial, immediately after the minister closed his Bible the man from Bond was taking my uncle aside with an invoice in his hand. To our family it didnt make sense to have a large funeral, there arent many of us. We wanted something small and private. It shouldnt matter how much we are spending . But clearly because we didnt, we were treated poorly.

I have used the services of Simple Choices twice now over the last 7 years. Each time, Roy and his…read morestaff have been professional and compassionate. I felt at ease from first contact that my loved one (and I !) would be treated with care and respect. I appreciated the prompt response from the moment I reached out.

I'm a year late writing this review, but it was recently the first anniversary of the death in our…read morefamily and it reminded me that we intended to share our glowing review of Simple Choices but didn't get to it in the months immediately after. At the time, I called around to at least 4-6 different places in the Albany area to understand the cremation options available, at a very stressful time obviously. Roy was BY FAR the most compassionate, patient, responsive, and clear about what to expect. Seriously, you just don't want to deal with the impersonal or callous attitudes that came across in my first phone call with some of the other places that offer cremation services. There wasn't even the smallest hint of anything other than the ideal level of genuine helpfulness from Roy. On top of that the prices were extremely fair, and the environment and decor in the Simple Choices funeral home is very comforting. Looking back, it also feels good to have supported a business & team that is committed to doing the right thing for people at their worst times. They live out ALL the values stated on their website. Oh, and I should also mention just in case anyone's looking for this detail in a review - our family isn't Christian, and Roy was nothing but pure kindness and understanding on adjusting the decor in the funeral home for our small family viewing. Roy & team, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for your excellence at serving us at such a difficult time. If we could leave you a 6 star review we would!

Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. From the moment I first spoke…read morewith Britney until well after the services, she was absolutely amazing. During one of the hardest times in our lives, she was compassionate, attentive, and truly cared about every detail. She guided us through the entire process with kindness, patience, and professionalism, making an incredibly difficult time a little easier to bear. On the day of the services, I couldn't have asked for a better person to help our family. Britney went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled with care, allowing us to focus on honoring our loved one. A few days after the services, Britney reached out simply to check on our family and make sure we were all doing okay. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to us and showed that her compassion and care extended far beyond her professional responsibilities. I would recommend this funeral home 100% to anyone facing one of the most difficult times in their life. The compassion and support we received will never be forgotten. Thank you, Britney and team for everything you did for our family.

I can't recall the last time I was treated so well, at any business... Like in my entire life…read more First of all, without us even bringing it up, Jim was looking to minimize costs for my fathers funeral. But aside from that, his outright kindness and empathy... Like stopping over to drop things off to my mom, or picking up clothing. (at no charge) I struggle to find the right words to express the level of personal integrity that Jim has. Some of my fathers extended family have been going to Gleason's for years, and I had no idea why really... Until it was time for me to deal with the challenges of losing my father. I can't say enough good things about them.
