In reference to 3938 Montana. Terry Durón the funeral home director …read more Only interested in your money and adding on bells and whistles. When a service is paid for in advance they disregard and only seek additional funds. My grandmothers insurance covered more than the services cost and they stated they keep those funds to "keep them afloat". If this was a non profit type of business i would understand but you're overpricing every single thing you offer. My grandmothers services were all covered at the restlawn and they still wanted to tack on an additional service at their location. She took care of all of her affairs prior to her departure to avoid any problems or delays and since they're not making any money from pre paid services they have no interest. DO NOT purchase anything additional from them. Flowers, urns, obituary (which they upcharged over 400%). It's $40 at the local paper. Give your business to a local florist instead . No type of sensitivity to the families of loved ones and total disregard for humanity and only a business transaction for them . This applies ESPECIALLY to Terri Duron. At the end of it all when we went to pick up the death certificates she still found a way to squeeze in an extra charge for a priest we didn't even use (my grandpa paid out of pocket for one), leaving us with a balance owed. If I wasn't there to catch it they would have charged my grandfather . I wonder how many other families they do this too on a daily basis all to make their commission . Terry when you are told we don't want flowers , that doesn't mean you ask every family member you encounter about ordering flowers from you . NO means NO. You should work in the car sales industry not a funeral home where atleast some human decency and empathy is required . Also make sure to take a translator if your family member only speaks Spanish as they struggle to properly relay important information that they do not know how to say in Spanish (Terry). This entire thing is a horrible joke . Don't put your families through this take your business elsewhere. And if you use them , DOCUMENT everything and check your bill at the end because they take advantage of mourning families . Shame on all of you .

From one professional to another, I would gloss over the Yellow Pages and go to another funeral…read moreprovider in this area. We were working on having an individual cremated in El Paso so his cremated remains could be returned to the Silverton, Oregon area, and La Paz was lacking in professionalism. Perhaps they are overly busy. Perhaps they just don't care. We had called on this funeral home to assist a family of ours and they complicated the process beyond what was necessary. It took 18 days to have the cremation actually take place in addition to different staff on their end telling us different dates as to when the cremation would actually take place. To add insult to injury, we told the family here in Oregon cremation was to occur on the 14th after expressly told by La Paz. When I phoned to ask when the cremated remains would be sent via Express Priority USPS they then informed me that cremation was still not completed (being now the 18th) and I shared my concern that we had a funeral and burial to occur on the 30th - an exact month after the death of the individual in their care. The family panicked and felt some relief other family were going to be in El Paso over the weekend of the 22nd and could pick up the remains. La Paz had me on hold during 1 phone call for over 11 minutes. Thank goodness I was one funeral director calling another and not an actual urgent matter. We then came to realize that La Paz does not even do the cremation in their location, but rather have the deceased transported to Las Cruces, NM, for the cremation to actually occur. When called back to request Victor include a letter of certification of cremation, he asked if he could just "mail them tomorrow" after I had discussed family would be picking-up. In the end they took payment and did not deduct the amount of forwarding remains by USPS and overcharged our funeral home. A headache all around. Thank goodness this man will be coming back to Oregon, but had I not called consistently, I feel he would have been sitting somewhere for much, much longer and the funeral services may have needed to be postponed on this end.

If you are planning a memorial service and funeral for your loved one in El Paso my advice to…read moreanyone who plans to use Perches Funeral Home is walk away and look elsewhere. When both my uncles passed away suddenly my cousin decided to use Perches Funeral Home to host the memorial service and had nothing but trouble. The first thing that went wrong was that no memory cards were printed for the family and then they never gave my cousin an actual date for the memorial service and it seems that the staff at Perches Funeral really don't have a clue on what they actually are doing. And then they promised to send my mom and aunt emails to give permission to cremate my uncle's ashes which they NEVER received. And if you try to request info via telephone the staff acts very annoyed and tell you that you have to call on a weekday. And the final thing that Perches Funeral Home does is if you write an obituary for a loved one they constantly misspell family names and the worst thing is THEY cannot change or correct spelling errors in the obituary and my mom noticed this when she saw my uncles obituary on their website and when my mom tried to call Perches Funeral Home to correct the mistake and they told her they couldn't change it. Then if you try to write a nice memory about your loved one you CANNOT post your memory message until the day of the funeral and memorial service which makes me think that they somehow have a rule about posting good memories of your loved one until the date of the memorial service and funeral draws near. How Perches Funeral Home manages to survive in El Paso i'll never figure out but they should improve themselves and give people better customer service indeed

In my experience with Restlawn, they made sure the family I was assigned to needed for nothing. Their funeral home is well equipped and intimate. I mean to say that it is set up for one event/one family at a time. Truly the team will take care of you the entire time, without the distraction of competing for resources during remembrance/celebration of your family member's life. They can provide a variety of services. They can provide overnight and extended visitation on their grounds, or arrange for visitations at your home if you want. They are bilingual and have the options of Latin music, if that's your flavor. In my expeir nice on the day of the remembrance, the team welcomed me early and made sure I had what I needed to support my assigned family (I was a Casualty Assistance Officer). They hosted folks in a hospitality area prior to the memorial. They have a nice sized chapel area. Their parking lot is pretty big I'm the rear to allow for a procession to form and travel to a cemetery that's local. The Angel Restlawn team did a great job coordinating with the National Cemeteries team. They made sure the transfer of remains to the cemetery was done correctly and respectfully. As folks came in for the event at the funeral home, the team were there directing them to the appro places. Angel Restlawn will take care of all your funerary needs.

When I was in high school I had a speech teacher/professor (yes, he taught outside of my high…read moreschool and yes, I took college classes in high school) that I, to this day, believe knows everything a person could ever want to know about anything. I never feel the need to fact check anything he's told me because if he's a liar I don't want to live. It would ruin me. So getting to the point...he told me about how years and years ago cemeteries weren't just for the dead and those in mourning. How parks weren't as prominent and because of how well kept cemeteries were they were actually used by many in the same capacity as a park (kids running around, picnics, etc.). When I go to Concordia I can only imagine how wonderful it would be if it was well kept because of the history that's within it's gates. No matter how long I spend in Concordia, I'm always intrigued by a grave I've never seen before. This cemetery is basically full, but is one of El Paso's oldest so it's simply captivating. I'll be honest, it's a horrendous cemetery. It's all sand and dirt, some tombs are really just a chain link fence, and some of the headstones are broken. But there's something that just pulls you in. They also have ghost tours here that could be pretty interesting. I will say I have had a few encounters here that could be called paranormal-ish, but I'm still not convinced they weren't something else (but it still makes for a fun time). This is a place worth experiencing and if you can do it at night with flashlights, even better!

Unprofessional and Disheartening! Hillcrest has completely lost its touch and compassion for…read moregrieving families. The only concern seems to be money. Our mother was cremated without any consent or confirmation from the family regarding whether we would be present. Hillcrest (Sophia) unilaterally made this decision, depriving us of the opportunity for a final viewing. When this was addressed with staff, they shifted blame onto family members, causing even more pain during an already devastating time, rather than taking accountability. They assumed it was the right decision, which was unacceptable and deeply hurtful. Be aware, their staff shows lack of competence. The staff showed poor judgment and did not take the initiative to clarify. Staff was Dismissive and untrustworthy, as we were blatantly lied to. The Person handling our mothers arrangements, Sophia was on The phone with the crematory and she told us that it could be postponed till tomorrow an hour later we received a call stating the process was completed, which made no sense. We went to the crematory and they told us when she called the first time they had already told her the process had started why she lied to us, especially in our face is unknown . Horrible experience for a grieving family. No family should have to endure this. Use a different funeral home, let competent people handle the care of your loved ones. If you happen to use Hillcrest good luck if it's Sophia, lack of better word STUPID. If I could give no stars I would. THANK YOU Hillcrest, Instead of providing comfort, you have created a profound void for our family.i
