There are not enough good things that I can say about my family's experience at Rader. My father…read moresuddenly and unexpectedly passed in an accident, so none of us were mentally prepared to be planning his services just days later. What made our experience so special at Rader was the coordinator/director that we were paired with, Leward. We came to the funeral home for the first time to view my father's body and to meet with Leward about arrangements and getting paperwork signed. He was able to read the room perfectly. We were all extremely overwhelmed considering we were all in shock, but he guided us with compassion and patience. He explained every step of the process clearly and slowly. He even made us crack a smile or giggle when appropriate. He did not aggressively push any of the funeral home's services or products on us. We explained that we wanted a celebration of life at our home, and he understood and helped us determine what additional support we would need for the event. He texted us to check in on us leading up to, and even after, the celebration, and assured us that he was there if we needed anything. It was extremely special to have the support and kindness of Rader, and specifically Leward, during the most difficult time of our lives. He made the whole process simple and pleasant. My family is incredibly grateful for our experience at Rader Funeral Home and recommend it to anyone that is looking for comfort and support when a loved one passes.

He was kind, compassionate, understanding, comforting and knew just what to say. Leward put us at ease immediately. He even made us laugh a few times! Leward explained the entire process to us and helped us plan the Celebration of Life that we envisioned. He kept in contact with us to see if we needed anything, even following up after the celebration. I am very appreciative to Leward and the entire Rader team. I highly recommend Rader Funeral Home.

My father passed away back in June and we still don't have his name on his marker but my mother,…read morewhich is still alive has been added. My father was a veteran and we were told that there was some additional paperwork needed. I must add, we never received a phone call stating additional needed paperwork. Only until family members when out to visit and add flowers did we find out that he name was not on the marker. After calling and inquiring, we were told about the needed information. Once we found this out we faxed over the info and then was told the delay will be longer due to the government being shut down for 43 days. Being told today, should be resolved within the next 1-2 months before his marker is complete. The by far the worse customer service we have had to deal with and not to mention how upset our mother is. We have used this funeral home for many family members and never have had these issues. I personally have my husband there and he was a veteran!

Lakeview funeral home longview, tx My father-in-law…read more(husband's step father) passed on November 15th. His funeral was preplanned by himself and was assisted 1 year ago by my brother-in-law (at the time my mother-in-law passed).​ It seems this would be a contract (binding agreement by law). Since his death his estranged daughter's who have not had anything to do with him in numerous DECADES have surfaced. In Texas they have rights BUT this funeral home has continuously refused to tell us what is going on after numerous phone calls, knowing our family has already participated in these plans. Today November 22nd- there is NO obituary for my father-in-law (although it appears 7 days ago one was started and removed), information has been passed to us that his funeral will be Tuesday the 26th but no pall bearers or obituary or eulogy by family of 30+ yrs who love him and honor him. This also means no notification to many family, friends, and business associates in his life. It's like a paupers funeral....just get them in the ground. Don't plan your funeral with this business that is unprofessional and disrespects the deceased. THEY WILL NOT HONOR YOUR LOVED ONE.
