From the first phone call to the end of the service, I was overwhelmed by the outstanding service they gave me. they were very professional and could not do enough to make sure we had just what we wanted. I had been there several times to make sure everything was set up the way I wanted it. I had contacted another local funeral home that is now owned by a large corporation and was so turned off at their lack of compassion that I left and made the call to TOALE BROTHERS AT 7:00 on a Saturday evening, and a call was returned to me five minutes later. I highly recommend dealing with a family owned company.

If you do end up using them, please DO NOT have them ship the cremated remains. I live in Brooklyn, couldn't make the trip down to FL during the costly holiday season, so paid the almost $300 to have them boxed and shipped - trusting that Lemon Bay does this all the time. Almost two weeks go by before I think to reach out and ask about our shipment. They didn't tell us WHEN they shipped the remains or tell me that a signature is required and the USPS didn't even leave a note saying they had attempted delivery, so I asked Lemon Bay for an update and tracking info only for them to respond with "OUCH" as a greeting, then share the tracking number (which they should have shared the moment they shipped him - I would've stayed home!). So that's not appropriate for shipping a book, much less a loved one. Then started our nightmare. Every day for 2.5 weeks I spent on the phone and at the post office, but USPS did not know where the remains were or how to find them. Remains by their nature are NOT REPLACEABLE. We had no information or control or influence and worried he'd be lost forever. We did not have the remains for the planned memorial. My wife was distraught, understandably, every day dealing with the death of her father and THIS DISASTER on top of it. Finally the day after Christmas, the Post Office calls me. They found it. I go to get it. And the upgrade box for shipping that I paid for was absolutely destroyed, ripped through the USPS box, and the plastic bag of remains (with a hole!) was exposed - luckily with the cremation certificate still intact stuck in the box. I could not grasp the disrespect and still can't - please look at these photos. The USPS told me the box was so heavy it ruined the box in transit. I can only hope that Lemon Bay a) gets better at communicating with mourning families, using more empathetic language and offering tracking numbers and guidance immediately rather than after the fact b) finds a better way to ship remains so that they are never received in this state by a grieving family And I hope that other families, especially those that live remotely, don't have to deal with this nightmare on top of mourning their loss and a) either chose another cremation provider or are more proactive in asking for better communication b) go in person to receive their remains, rather than trust Lemon Bay + USPS to deliver them.

I learned that funeral homes charge many times the prices at All Veterans-All Families. Their prices are less than $1,000, which is MUCH less than pricing from funeral homes. I think of her service when I see those TV commercials saying that funerals will bankrupt survivors. Using this cremation option is better for everyone.

Why wouldn't a funeral director know the rules of operation for the National Cemetery for veterans? Especially when All Veterans is the name of the business! I was told that the cemetery would call to set up the burial so that the family could be there when our loved one was laid to rest. Instead I received in the mail a packet with the section and grave number where he was already buried. It was devastating for the entire family. We all felt that we didn't have the closure we needed. When I think of him buried with none of his family there just breaks my heart.
