In the process we found out two other family members had problems with their headstones sinking over time. Cutler arranged to have the headstone lifted and stabilized. The other was over one hundred years old and had cracked in half. Dale again assisted us to replace the headstone with a new one. Cutler took excellent care of us every step of the process. Updating us with photos and timelines. I can't tell you how relieved I was that my 82 year old mother did not have to travel back to Indiana during Covid to take care of this! Dale you're a lifesaver!

I wish I would have voiced my opinion to my family in a stronger conviction to have chosen Cutler Funeral Home

My husband passed away on Monday at 3:15 am. Midwest crematory was contacted about two weeks prior…read moreto his passing & they were told what services we were in need of. I was going to go to pay for it in advance ,but was told that wasn't necessary..... it could be paid for when I picked up his ashes. When he passed they were contacted & they did come to pick him up. My two sons & I went to make the arrangements & they wanted to be paid in full.... which was alright with me although that's not what they previously said. My husband did not want any viewing or services so I let them know I needed an email address in the obituary so friends could contact us to find out when we were having a memorial service to honor him. After I got home I realized I didn't order the announcements so I called them to let them know I did want them to have for the memorial service. I was told since I wasn't having a service there it would be outsourced & it would be an additional $200.00.... to begin with it is all outsourced....they don't do the printing there I was supposed to get an email from them with the proof to edit it before it went to print. After two days of receiving nothing I contacted them. I did get the proof sent to me which I did approve. I did wait for some time to hear back from them. I couldn't wait any longer because of the other things that also had to be taken care of. They called later that day when I was out. I did contact them the next day & told them to place it in the Sunday edition of the paper from the area we were originally from. They put it in the Saturday edition (which I don't know of anyone that goes to buy just a Saturday paper) I did call them to see why they did that & was asked what would it take to resolve the situation....reprint it? I told them yes. She then told me she couldn't do that without consent but it was doubtful that they would approve that. I then told her..... if they did not approve it to please have them call me. A couple of days went by & still no call from them, so I once again called them. Once again I got the run around.... I was told it couldn't go in the next days paper because the deadline had already passed & they made it quite clear I should once again pay for it to be put in the paper. After letting her know this was very upsetting to me we hung up. A little while went by & I called the paper myself the deadline for it to run in the paper the next day was 3:15...... I spoke with the woman at 2:25. So once again I was down right deceived !!!! The way I have been treated by this facility at a time of grief of a loved one is in my opinion very cruel & unprofessional. I hope by posting this I can maybe save someone else from being put through this by them. I think the big problem with the uncaring treatment I received from them was because I didn't use their funeral home. This is unacceptable & hopefully this will get them off of their high horse & start treating people with compassion or get out of that type of business. Another sad thing that was done is they placed my husband in a cardboard box when they got him there & they charged me $150.00 for that. It has been 8 days now & he is still in that box & nothing has been done. I can't even pick up his ashes yet. If this isn't cruel & heartbreaking at a time like this then I don't know what is !!!!!!

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.
