AVOID WHITE-LOVE! Funeral Director Should Consider a Change in Careers…read more My fiance passed away this Spring and his family chose White-Love Funeral Home. I was too devastated to care where or what was happening... and I had attended funerals are White-Love when I was a kid in the 90s and remembered it being quaint and homey. Unfortunately, literally nothing has changed or been updated, including the carpet, gross folding sliding dividers, bathrooms, and resting area for the family. I was taken aback when I first walked in that nothing had changed since I was a kid. I made my way to the TV to plug in my computer for a slideshow. I was having trouble with getting the correct input and asked for help. Unfortunately, the staff member was fairly useless but I figured it out on my own. Towards the end of the night, I heard comments about the bathrooms being gross, not stocked, staff members eating with the door open, and other unprofessional mishaps. But I survived it. The next day we had a private funeral, there was no lining up of the cars, and the service had begun before I even arrived. I was so heartbroken. When it was time to pay our bill ($13,000), my mother called several times to see when the funeral director would be in, each time she was not there. My mother left a message with a very kind and considerate employee who offered her apologies and said that she would forward our concerns to the director. Later that afternoon we got a call that the director was in, so my mother accompanied me to the funeral home. When we arrived Donna Love acted as if she had no idea about our concerns at first, became extremely defensive and rude, coming up with excuses right and left, even blaming my fiance's father for some of her shortcomings. Not once did she apologize or offer an ounce of sympathy. We left without paying that day and she proceeded to hound my fiance's father with phone calls saying that she needed to be paid and that we were so rude to her. She never called to apologize to us for her behavior and the poor state of the facility. We had to contact her and force an apology before we paid her. One of the worst experiences of my life. Please do yourself a favor and choose an alternative option for your loved ones who have passed. Donna Love is in the WRONG business.

She never been to see his grave. We went three times. The first time we couldn't find, things look different 25 years later. Office people were very nice and helpful. My sister and I visited the grave twice more and decorated it for Christmas on Thanksgiving day after dinner. My sister liked Barry alot. My sister passed away on January 8, 2019 and her cremains were entombed on Barry's birthday which was on February 20th. Some coincidence or signs from heaven above!

My parents purchased their pre-paid funeral services with Root Funeral Home back in the early…read more1990's. When Dad passed away in May of 2019, I started reading about "pre-paid services" and the nightmares that typically followed at other funeral homes. I was prepared for the worst! However, when my brother and I sat down with Thomas Root to discuss the details of the funeral, nothing could have been further from the truth. Thomas explained every option that was available, made helpful suggestions about the viewing/wake, and personally communicated with the Pastor of Queen of All Saints, Father Kevin Huber, to coordinate the funeral Mass and burial process. Our mother just passed away this month (October 2020), and his attention to detail was exactly the same. Outstanding! There were no surprise charges, no additional costs, no obsolete options that required an "upgrade" - none of that! Root Funeral Home did exactly what they said they would do based on the agreement they made with our parents from years ago! What a blessing it was to have worked with an honorable business! I'm sorry for those families that have left negative reviews, but I can honestly tell you that our experience could not have been better.

My family has used Carlisle funeral home for 70 years. It has been sold to Geisen and is now…read moreGeisen-Carlisle in Michigan City. I called for their assistance in handling the care for my sister who was living in Michigan City. They were helpful in moving her from another county and doing a good job with cremation. The people are nice, but I found communication somewhat difficult. For example, I wrote an email, I spoke directly in person to the director, and then I got a call from another manager two days before her celebration of life, asking about the paper materials that I thought I had resolved at least a week earlier. I guess I can't expect the same personalized experiences that I've had for many years with the original owners. It is unfortunate. And in any interaction with a funeral home it is difficult to anticipate expenses. I highly recommend planning in advance and not leaving this to family members!

But they pushed her into having a visitation on Sunday AND a service on a Monday. They rushed the service (which was really short to begin with). I thought maybe they needed to prepare for another service, but when we stopped by 2 hours later to pick up our items, the place was dead (no pun intended). There were many very nice, laminated bookmarks, and cards made in my grandfather's memory...but they were not distributed at all during the service or visitation. We had to provide our own snacks for the visitation, which we had to keep downstairs (where they needed to stay). Not very handy for the handicapped. On the good side, they did a great job making my grandfather look sharp and they made a DVD out of the photos we had on a flash drive. This place is not what it used to be.
