Recently my Grandfather on my Mom's side passed away and we traveled to Ohio for the funeral. It…read morewas the first time I had been back since I was 17 and it had to be on a bad note that it happened. I have been blessed to have only been to a few funerals in my life but this was the first person that I really knew and had family ties to. I was actually really impressed with this Funeral home and the professional appearance of the family that ran it. I am pretty sure they knew my Grandparents and went to church with them. I am guessing that the building was a converted house from a long time ago as it felt more like a home than a business and you were there for an event rather than something sad. Everyone was very courteous and helpful even as we carted around our 3 kids. I in my own way have a great respect for this business and what they are able to do. It's funny that a place like this with its finality and ending would make you realize more clearly that life is so short and a beautiful precious gift, don't waste it, make it count.

My time with them was top notch!! They were kind, caring, and compassionate. They were able to cremate my mother on site, without sending her elsewhere and also filled our urns we purchased online. The room we rented was beautiful and they had everything we needed. They worked as a team, and answered all my questions as well as did a lot of paper work for me. They were very helpful. Their prices were very competitive, and I felt it was a great value. They handled everything we needed. Definitely go to Teolis for your family's funeral and cremation needs.

When my mother was paying for the services there was definitely added charges to the billing. She paid what they asked anyway. She had continued to also plan and pay for her services for when the time came. When she did pass July 2018, we had her services at Flynn's funeral home. As stated she paid ahead of time and there wasn't much we had to pay for at the time of her services. I can say they were not as attentive to our needs this time around. My sisters and I felt like we didn't have direction during her services. When we had the graveside services a few days later, there was nothing set up. We had to call to have the flowers and funeral directors to come. 6 months later her date is not present on the headstone either. I believe the difference was they were paid ahead of time. They didn't need to try to please us anymore.

Most people would agree that Funeral Homes are unpleasant but necessary businesses. I learned that…read moreearlier than most because I was just nineteen when my Dad died. My older brother actually became a Funeral Director, and eventually a Coroner, so I am really critical when I go to a funeral. The building for this FH is modern, as it was recently built. We chose them because they built next to the Cemetary where our family plot is. Our country is still under quarantine, so social gatherings are discouraged, but if your immediate family is more than 20 to start with, who do you tell not to come? Our chosen FD was both honest and concerned. He assured me that anyone who wanted to come would be welcome. We posted in the obituary that the service was private by invitation only, so the true family and friends will be there. We are confident there will not be any confrontations or negative energy tomorrow when we bury my son. Say a prayer for us, please.

I was told by the nursing home that prior arrangements were made, although upon his passing I was then told, only the cemetery arrangements were made. I was involved everyday for a week with multiple phone calls to many people on how to handle burial arrangements since there was no family where he lived and family had not been in contact for many years. When advised that he had a burial plot at Grandview Cemetery, I contacted them and spoke to "Valerie". She was familiar with the situation and gave me guidance on how to handle the situation. There were several phone calls with her and each time she was patient, kind and understanding. Valerie gave me information and a referral. Everything worked out fine with the information she gave me. With her help it resolved the situation in a timely manner. Thank You again Valerie for all your help, you were FANTASTIC!

To the person who wrote that their Loved ones bronze vase…read morewas stolen- I am very sorry to hear that. Many years ago I worked for a cemetery in the area. It is sad that there is theft but that has been happening forever all over the country. There are signs posted in most cemeteries for no " entering" at dusk. People will steal no matter where it is. You can't expect a cemetery to hire a " night watchman" ( would you want that job?) motion lights, cameras, & all other things mentioned. The cost is too high, the area is vast & they would have to pass the cost to the families. Many people do not visit their loved ones over the years - they may live out of the area or feel going to the cemetery is not what they wish to do. For the ones who do visit it's a sad fact that there is theft here & there. I'm sorry for your loss & the theft. I have close friends buried at Forest Lawn- it is a beautiful memorial park. Elizabeth Hartman from the 1960's movie A Patch of Blue is buried there.

We recently discovered that our two family gravemarkers had their bronze vases stolen. We were…read morenever told by the office. When we contacted them the staff stated more than 20 have been stolen. They called the Police but have done nothing to improve the security of our loved ones' graves. No cameras, no warning or no trespassing signs, no night watchman, no motion detector floodlights, no increased police patrols, they have not even contacted local scrap yards to describe the items and encourage them NOT to accept the vases from graves. The Board Chairman told us to file a claim for the $300 vases with our own insurance. Why doesn't the cemetery have insurance against theft and vandalism on their property? Even if we paid for replacements, they have not taken any steps to prevent the new ones from being stolen. What's next? If the large bronze markers are pried up who will replace them? Perhaps the Board is looking at this as a way to receive more revenue? The more that are stolen, the more they sell! Clearly, the cemetery believes they have no responsibility to the families who have trusted them to protect our loved ones' grave sites all these years. The Board President stated the Board and management have known about this problem for years and yet they have done NOTHING.
