Jolene also made the beautiful flower arrangement for my mother's casket. She put a lot of love into it I know. You never know how you are going to feel dealing with this. To have someone so caring and empathetic and also artistic was a wonderful experience for me at my time of need. In fact, from the very beginning, picking up my mother's body at the nursing home all the way to taking her to her final resting place and setting up everything, my mother was treated with respect and care. It helped me to get through a very trying time in my life. Thank you, Jolene and Brater Winter Funeral Home, for all of your help and compassion. I would recommend this funeral home to anyone in their time of need. No one ever tried to over sell me or push me into anything I would not want.

Do not recommend, worst experience, disrespectful to family…read more A moral issue that was very disrespectful to my Mother and our family. This has caused additional emotional distress and added to the grieving process. The entire experience with Tufts was overwhelmingly stressful. Cutting my Mothers hair, not returning phone calls, the sub-standard work by Tufts Riverview Monuments, and the lack of compassion has prolonged the stress and emotional anguish over the tragic loss of our Mother for several months. Tufts cut my Mother's hair very short without contacting our family for permission. It was very short and tightly curled. It didn't even resemble her, they radically changed her appearance. Her hair was always long. On the day of the funeral, our family was completely shocked and appalled to see what they did to her hair. Previously, I told Julie Tipton that her hair was very thin and gave her a headband for her hair. Photos were also emailed prior to the funeral. Pushing her hair back with the headband (which everyone knows that is what a headband is for) and combing her hair straight was what should have been done. Their total disregard about this issue made us feel like our Mother and family was unimportant and just another number. We paid in full the day of the funeral ($13074.12) and the perception that they demonstrated to us was "they were paid, it's over and done with, it's your issue". Tufts was not even professional enough to return a call to a grieving family regarding an issue that was very important to them; such a lack of compassion. Calls: 1. I left a message for Julie Tipton at the front desk. No return call. 2. I called Larry Schildmeyer. He was standoffish; expressed no concern about her hair other than they had "someone" come in to do hair, and that he would check into it. They also made an error on my Mothers cards. He said he would check into that as well and call me back. He left a message regarding the cards, but no response regarding my Mother's hair. 3. I called the office and asked to leave a message for Larry Schildmeyer that I still wanted a response regarding her hair. No return call. 4. A few days later I called and spoke to Linda, the office manager, who said she would check into it and call me back. No return call. 5. Visit: Another trip to the funeral home had to be made to pick up corrected cards. The person at the front desk told my friend that after a body is embalmed, their hair becomes very brittle; they have to cut it to do anything with it other than use a wig. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I checked with another funeral home who assured me that it is always customary to ask the family prior to cutting hair unless there is head trauma. They also informed me hair does not change texture and is just washed after embalming and can be styled. Tufts Riverview Monument Company did an extremely poor job of engraving the information on the existing cemetery monument. Another shock for our family causing more emotional distress. Peggy Schildmeyer acknowledged the poor quality job they performed, and said she could not assure us they could correct it without causing damage to the monument (prior cost for monument $3223.72). She reimbursed us with a $250 check that we initially paid them to have the work done. The check, in no way, relieves the emotional distress due to the constant reminder when visiting the monument because of the permanence of such a poor quality job.
