When my brother passed away recently, we chose Donaldson as the funeral home to assist us. My…read morebrother did not have a will but we knew he wanted to be cremated. We chose the location for Donaldson in Odenton because we were very familiar with it, having lived in the area for over 20 years. We had had the opportunity to attend several funerals and viewings at Donaldson and had noticed how well they handled everything. Dealing with them in regards to making all of the arrangements for my brother was no different. The funeral director was very kind and patient. She was also very accommodating because I had some special needs and she went out of her way to work with me. My initial point of contact, Benjamin, was also amazing. He was friendly and kind and understanding. We never actually met in person but he is the one who answered all of my initial questions and got the process started. No matter what time it was, if I had sent him an email or left a message with a question, he made sure to get back to me as soon as possible. I will never forget his kindness. Making the arrangements for a friend or loved one after they have passed is never an easy thing. However, Donaldson did everything they could to ensure that the process was as smooth as possible.

From the minute we arrived, they were so nice and caring We were able to have time with our dog before saying goodbye. The man we worked with asked us some questions about our dog to really get to know him as well as us. We were then taken into a room designated for pets. We were able to pick out an urn for our boy- there were like 20 to choose from. We filled out the paperwork and to our surprise we were told that we could come back that afternoon to pick him up. He also ensured us that he would be the one doing the cremation (individual cremation) We dropped him off around 10am and we had our boy home around 4 that afternoon. When we picked him up the lady that was there was interested in our dog. She again asked us questions about him and wanted to see pictures. It really showed us that they care about the families and the loved ones that passed. The level of service provided here was outstanding.

Tyler was very helpful, gave honest advice and was supportive. Everyone at Barranco was sympathetic, available for questions and patient. We wanted just a simple service, since she was already cremated elsewhere. He made it so easy and it was very affordable. It's a nice location and a lovely interior. The parking lot is massive with an exit in the front and rear. They have a huge assortment of flower arranges to choose from, or you can order them on your own elsewhere. I decided to pick the flowers through Barranco, although pricey, it was guaranteed to be there I didn't have to do anything (I was distracted enough). We took the flowers home with us after the event, and after a week or more, the Barranco flowers outlasted most of the other flowers people sent from a local florist! They also arranged a photo slide show, and put a nice obituary page on their website. They also recorded the program for us and sent us the link. Very high quality and all you need. I do wish we could hear the organ play (funeral music) when we entered, but that was only me, my brother didn't want that. Overall, a solid experience and consistent. I highly recommend.

I was struck by the sincerity of the staff.. not the usual slickness that is accompanied by questionable sympathy. My friend was never rushed or pressurred.. and the represenative that worked with us was a truly likeable and easygoing guy. I also like that this business donates plots to fallen police and firemen. I will say the office building is quite outdated and a bit run down.. Actually doesn't smell that great.... but that is not why we come. We come for the grounds... which are beautiful and cater to a wide variety of cultures. It is very interesting to see the different ways people memorialize their loved ones, America is a melting pot and so are our funeral/burial customs. The niche here leans way from the mainstream American cemetary... although it certainly isnt too far out of the box. It is nice that they make it clear that they can find a way to honor almost any cultural tradition. They don't have headstones( just in laid markers) ... so all you see is beautiful green punctuated by a few family mausoleums. There is a lake in the middle with swans and ducks.It is placed on some gently sloping hills with some tall old trees. They have several themed gardens.. including a heroes garden, and lovely tranquility garden ( catering to the Asian population) .. as well as several others. Usually cemeteries are such depressing, creepy places.. but this looks like a well maintained park.. The main mausoleum, is quite nice and airy.. It has gone through a few style incarnations over the years.. but it actually works well... i found the building to have a very serene overall effect. I came to be of comfort to a friend, but also ended up finding a place that just might suit my own family one sad day.

It was very traumatizing! And this all had been planned and paid for a year before! They are unprofessional and disorganized!!! This was their Laurel location. This is just a tiny part of the many problems we experienced. Next time we would go with a bigger funeral home like Hines Rinaldi in White Oak.
