However, everyone that I dealt with personally was as helpful as possible.

My niece passed away in March 2026 in Maryland, and because I live in New York, her friends and I…read morehad to make funeral arrangements from out of state. We chose Chatman Harris Funeral Home because we wanted to support a Black-owned business. Initially, everything seemed fine. They picked up my niece, the viewing was handled professionally, and the staff was courteous in person. Unfortunately, that is where the positive experience ended. Throughout the process, I received conflicting information about timelines for holding a funeral service. One employee told me we had ten days after my niece was picked up, while another later told me everything had to happen immediately. That inconsistency caused unnecessary stress and forced us to rush to Maryland. The biggest issue was the complete lack of communication after the cremation. For about three weeks, I called every other day trying to get updates on my niece's ashes and death certificates. My calls were rarely returned. I eventually had to text an employee directly just to get someone to respond. Every update came only after I reached out first. I was told the ashes would be shipped, then told they couldn't because they were waiting for the death certificates. Then I was told they would get the certificates the next day. That didn't happen. Later I was told the office was closed. Again, I had to keep contacting them because no one kept me informed. After nearly two months of repeated phone calls, texts, delays, and broken promises, I finally received my niece's death certificates on May 27, 2026. Losing a loved one is hard enough. Families should not have to chase a funeral home for basic communication or important documents. While the services themselves were handled respectfully, the poor communication, inconsistent information, and lack of follow-through made an already painful experience much more difficult. I sincerely hope they improve their communication with grieving families.

Fortunately it's been a few years since I've been there, but if "Six Feet Under" is any indication I doubt the staff turnover is very high and they're probably still doing the right thing.

The people working there were very attentive, even to the point of assuring that certain items made it from the viewing to the cemetery (including the body, but I digress). I really like the neighborhood, too. That's kind of a hindsight thing, but I thought it was important to mention.

The hours and days after his passing were a nightmare for us as we grieved our dad and had to also try and make sense of all the logistical items that came with his passing. Daniele Schott was our primary point of contact, but no matter who we spoke to over the phone or by email, we received prompt and compassionate guidance and responses. We weren't the most organized family they've probably had to deal with, and we are also bicoastal, but they were so flexible in making themselves available to meet virtually, by phone, or in-person and pivoted gracefully as we fumbled along. I'm really so very grateful to Sol Levinson & Bros for their care during those early days and even beyond through the provision of their Everything After grief and estate guidance program.

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.

He…read moreis a deeply arrogant and unpleasant man who lays off the most underpaid employees that have worked for him for years under the guise of "losing money" just to turn around and hire his daughter who just graduated college. When told that the road is full of potholes that get worse every year he will scoff in your face. He's not around to see them or drive over them, so why should he care? I wonder if he would feel the same way if the roads in his Potomac neighborhood looked the same way? Somehow I doubt it. It doesn't take a genius to see that every year the amenities and grounds get worse and worse while the prices get raised by hundreds of dollars (once they raised prices TWICE in the same year). They used to have events around the holidays for the local community and families of the deceased - they no longer do any of that. The sales manager, John Sockriter, is the most incompetent manager I have ever met in my entire life. He would literally sneak out the back door if he heard a customer asking to speak to a manager, letting the underpaid receptionist deal with all of the fall out of his sales teams poor customer service. He also once took home one of the Canadian geese from the cemetery AND ATE IT. Those geese live off of stale white bread and dirt, so that tells you exactly how smart he is. His subordinates have no respect for him because he sits upstairs on his phone all day and hasn't actually sold anything in years. He still brags about being number one in sales in 1995 and his office is covered in sad little "#1 in sales - 1997 third quarter" plaques (lmao). He can't write a contract let alone send a fax from the fax machine. A sales counselor was drinking on the grounds, getting into belligerent arguments with women on the staff and everyone knew about it, including him. He did nothing about it until they realized that counselor was also STEALING FROM CUSTOMERS and only then there were consequences. All three of the white managers are incredibly ignorant and actually quite racist which is very unfortunate considering the main customer demographic is the local Black community. The office manager, the grounds superintendent and sales manager are yes men to the owner and could care less about improving the experience of their clients or subordinates. They are completely out of touch with how their younger employees basically live in poverty if they don't get second AND third jobs. I am all for supporting small businesses but this is not one of them. Instead of investing in the cemetery, the owner uses it to purchase other cemeteries in different states instead of putting that money back into the cemetery. It's sad because it really could be a spectacular historical cemetery for the local community. They are running that cemetery into the ground and they simply don't care. This cemetery exemplifies exactly what is wrong with corporate capitalism today. Short term profits are king and everything else is a second thought. It's so bad that they haven't even been paying for their employees health insurance on time EVEN THOUGH IT STILL GOT DEDUCTED FROM THEIR PAY. When the owner was emailed about this issue he did what he always does - he completely ignored the email. That should tell you everything you need to know about him. 0/10 - I would not recommend this cemetery to my worst enemy.
