At my Uncles funeral in Georgia a few months ago - they misspelled my uncles name and we pallbearers received no instruction from the staff. It was a disaster. However, and fortunately most of the funerals this year have been here at Duckett Robinson. I can't say enough positive things about how professional and courteous the staff are. Just top notch all the around.

My whole experience with this funeral home was terrible. My mother had made her plans 19 years ago…read moreand had everything paid for. The person who helped her was out of town. We waited 2 days for his return, they didnt have the casket she wanted so he tried to talk us into something else and finally ordered the original she wanted, they wanted to put off embalming her because her sister insisted on seeing her first but wouldn't show up. The visitation was no better. The family was separated on each end of my mother and there was no one attending to our needs. My nephew was showing visitors where to enter, where the book was located, and where the bathrooms were. The funeral was postponed because the grave had flooded and we had to wait almost a week for her burial. The funeral procession was not organised. We just fell in line and followed the family car. We were rushed from the cemetery as they started the burial. My sisters were hurried into the family car and driven away. No one from the cemetery came out to speak with us. My sister had to ask for the book and thank you cards. Everything was so unprofessional. I felt that because they all knew my mothers sister, she dislikes us, they were trying to follow her direction. We only bury our loved ones once. We deserve respect and dignity during this time.

There are two prior reviews on this mortuary that are negative. I feel compelled to not only write…read morean extremely positive review but to try to correct some of the misinformation others stated. From the moment my mother-in law died the staff of the mortuary guided us through the whole process. From telling us to call EMS first, to sending two extremely professional gentlemen to remove the body back to the mortuary, every effort was made to comfort and advise the family and to explain every step in the process. We had long ago decided to cremate our family members and the mortuary guided us through every step in the process. I don't know how many people understand the legalities that must be observed with every death, but especially with a cremation. The coroner has to give permission to release the body to the funeral home when it was a home death. He has to decide that there are no nefarious or illegal circumstances. Then a death certificate must be issued and all,( 100 per cent) of the survivors( spouse and all listed children ) must sign that they agree with the cremation. Someone commented negatively on the costs but the family is given a very clear and explicit listing of the costs charged for every available service. The funeral /and or services can be as expensive and ostentatious as the family desires or as simple and uncomplicated as the family desires, it is absolutely up to the family. Unlike my prior expectations and perceptions there was no pressure to do anything other than what the family wished. We were presented with a very thorough list of available services and allowed to select what we wished. This facility is in almost constant use and really doesn't have the option of closing for renovations for long periods of time. The suggestion that they should move to acquire a bigger lot is almost ludicrous given the way that Greenville is growing and developing. The land the facility sits on is probably extremely valuable there on Augusta Road but it would probably be economic suicide to up and move the mortuary to say ,Five Forks or Travelers rest. The community they serve and the clientele they serve would not be well served by such a move. We would like to commend young Mr. Garrett, and Leah for carrying on the proud legacy left by their parents and commend them for their caring attitude to the grieving families. Thank you Watkins Garrett and Woods Mortuary. The family of Naomi Mozelle Hubert White.

I wouldn't consider any other business when deciding where to send my loved ones in the Greenville area. They sought out the immediate family members (even those of us from out of town) during the services and viewing and made sure to introduce themselves and help guide us through the custom of receiving friends and family, seeking grief counseling services if needed, and attending to any special requests we had. They went above and beyond and were found to be a strange comfort to us during an intensely difficult time. They conducted themselves professionally and with sympathy for our loss. They facilitated the most perfect 'goodbye' I never wanted to imagine. Thank you, McAfee family for your gentleness, attention to detail, shoulder to cry on, and ear to lend.

Our funeral planning with Tim was as easy as we could have asked. Obviously, this was a very difficult time for our family and Tim was so patient and professional with outlining how everything would go. He communicated with our church to make sure that everything was taken care of down to every last detail. We felt at ease knowing they were taking the best care of my grandmother. The facilities are beautiful and I can't think of any critiques for our viewing. We are Catholic, and they were very mindful of all of our traditions and faith rituals. It was exactly as my grandmother would have wanted everything. During our viewing and also during the funeral, all of their staff treated us with such respect and care, we were all amazed. Down to the last detail of making sure that we had flowers from her casket, they took care of things that we never would have even thought of. I wouldn't hesitate to have any loved ones or even my husband and myself taken care of by McAfee and I thank all the staff and owners of this establishment for everything they did for my family in this past week.
