We needed help quickly to accommodate family so they could get my mother's ashes before they left the area. Thibadeau took care of us at our convenience, we were able to drop off and pick up, a gentleman even helped me carry the heavy veteran's urn to my car. An experience that I expected to be awkward, was made comfortable by caring and respectful staff, on the phone, by email and in person. We will appreciate their kindness forever.

I am surprised to see five star reviews on this location. I guess it's just solidifying with me…read morethat the person we had really was inexperienced. We were recommended this establishment by the hospital as a privately owned funeral home. We have never put a funeral together so we're looking for direction. The highlights were they were available 24 seven and tried to answer our questions although the answers were not always correct.However when there was an issue they did try to resolve it immediately. The issues we had were: answers being "whatever you want "which doesn't help when we don't know what we're doing. I've never seen a viewing where they left the room empty with no chairs whatsoever we had to ask and then they put out about 15 chairs. There was only one person at the funeral home during the wake no one greeted the guests at the door or directed them. The day of the funeral our limo driver was a giggly young lady who did not know where she was going. She needed directions to the church and she got lost on the way back from the cemetery. These are things we do not need to think about during a funeral. I hope the young lady who was our "funeral director". understands that she's not directing much when people do not respond to what she is saying everybody stood at the cemetery looking at each other waiting for the next step. It was extremely awkward. I hope with some staff experience and some positive changes that this place will go back to the five star ratings that it's gotten before. Reading the other of reviews I agree that Sherri is extremely professional she is the one we communicated with through email. Our funeral directors name was Samantha.

My mother told me that she and my father had decided to be cremated. My father was was in an…read moreassisted living facility in Glen Burnie and I had looked at a few places that were incredible in price....and that is not a compliment to them, trust me. I came across Simplicity looking for cremation services in Glen Burnie, I had emailed them about pricing as I was told by Hospice of the Chesapeake that I needed to start thinking about arrangements. We had known his condition was getting worse on Saturday, but the Hospice believed he had a few more days....it ended up only being hours. I sent out four emails of established places that HAD email addresses asking for information and prices. In those four emails, the only one that has been returned was from Simplicity. Mind you at the time of sending the email, I was simply trying to get the ball rolling. I happened to open my mail after getting a call from the ALF that my father had expired and I just felt it was a sign from my dad that we should move forward. I phoned and Celia answered the phone. From the moment she did, I just felt a connection to her. She explained the process, answered the questions I had and we proceeded with having my father's physical body picked up by the facility. We made an appointment time and I gave the family the details so that we could see my father off. This is probably one of the questions I should have asked, but having never ever dealt with arrangements of this type, it simply slipped my mind, which is how is someone laid out in a direct to cremation. That said, my father was covered and he was in a room that was much like your normal looking funeral home inside. It's quiet and peaceful, but the facility itself is in a office front/business park. Having said that, the price reflects that. Having seen some of the prices with the biggies around town that have their PDF's posted online, you aren't being soaked for the entire insurance policy that is meant to help your loved one go on without the other. You aren't paying to pull up to a big, pillared building with 90 employees inside directing you to your loved one or maintaining the big cars that are outside. Most of all, if you have a parent who is in a fragile condition like my mother is at the moment, it's easier on them. She didn't feel she could handle all of the people that come with a funeral, so this eased my mind. Celia was professional and understanding of all of our issues, explained the process, we selected an urn and a piece of jewelry for my mom that she can have with a little of my father next to her heart. There is also preplanning which I will be getting into once I get the affairs of my father out of the way. With all the paperwork and calls that you have to make, this will be very helpful when the time comes for my mom. I hugged her when we all departed and I knew from her hug that she is a caring individual.....you just know when something is real and a person cares. In the end, we went to lunch and celebrated my father's life with the family and we will have a celebration at his church next week with those he cared about. Isn't this what it's suppose to be anyway? When it's all said and done, I feel like my father would have rather had *Simplicity* (fitting name) and us enjoy reminiscing about his life, not crying over a coffin because as believers, he is simply not there. Even with planning for celebrations of his life and paying for his cremation, we are nowhere close to what the big guys around town wanted for. If this is something you are thinking for your loved one, this is definitely something to investigate for yourself. As odd as I feel writing about our end, there is just something to be said for this process. I highly recommend Simplicity.
