Poole Funeral Home will always hold a special place in my heart…read more Two weeks into a brand new relationship, my world was suddenly turned upside down when my partner's father passed away unexpectedly. It was heartbreaking--not just because of the loss, but because it brought back painful memories of when his mother passed from breast cancer just four years earlier. Poole Funeral Home had been the one to help him through that difficult time as well, so returning there now--without his father to guide the way--was deeply emotional and overwhelming. But from the moment we stepped through their doors, Poole embraced us like family. We had no idea what we were doing--how many programs to order, what steps to take--but Brian walked us through every single detail with patience, compassion, and clarity. In a time where grief was raw and decisions felt impossible, he gently led us forward without ever making us feel rushed or unsure. Now that I work in the senior care space myself, I've come to admire Poole Funeral Home even more--not just for how they cared for us personally, but for how they serve our entire community. I've learned they offer services at no cost to families experiencing the loss of a child--a quiet act of kindness that speaks volumes about their heart and mission. I cannot recommend them more highly. In moments of unimaginable grief, Poole Funeral Home shows up with grace, respect, and humanity. I will forever be grateful And since 5/20 was the 1 year date of loss and Father's Day just around the corner it only felt right to stop in and drop small gifts of appreciation - THANK YOU!!!

Their professionalism and preparedness towards my family was actually stellar. It was exceptional for all that was done. Well organized with the entrance and exit. Spiritual Music and video enhancement was so on the money. The staff was well groomed and helpful, never in the way of family and friends. All questions answered promptly and with knowledge. Trip to the cemetery was perfectly organized to get out of the parking lot with little effort. I would highly recommend them to any and everyone.

My Dad and I went here when my Mom passed away because it was the closest funeral home and you don't have time for research when these things happen. I typed up an obituary for my Mom. Somehow after Winkenhofer got hold of it, it was filled punctuation errors and typos. I checked my original to make sure I hadn't made mistakes, but no, my original was fine. I re-typed it for them in the office. The version that showed up in my parents' hometown newspaper still had the typos, though, and the guest book also had typing and spelling errors. We had to ask for those pages to be corrected and reprinted. Visitation begins, and someone asks if my parents "had the same last name?" I look at the funeral program, and they've printed my Mom's maiden name as being the same as my Dad's last name, as though they were cousins! Fortunately they were able to correct that and reprint these in the back before more people showed up. (Despite the price you're paying, these are not printed on a press, but on a regular desktop printer.) Unfortunately, less than a year later my Dad passed. Despite my previous experience I went with Winkenhofer-Pine Ridge again because, as I say, you don't have time for shopping around at these times, and at least I knew their process. My Dad had requested John Lennon's "Imagine" to be played at his funeral. This was about $350 extra, even though I knew all they did was set up a boom box behind a bouquet. We get to the funeral home, another Dignity franchise in my parents' hometown...and Winkenhofer forgot to bring the boom box. The home loaned them another one, and it wouldn't recognize the CD. So much for one of my Dad's final requests. Lastly, Winkenhofer-Pine Ridge issued the death certificate, and they marked my Dad as a non-high school graduate. He DID graduate! He would NOT have wanted to go down in history as a dropout! I insisted this be changed. The woman agreed to do it, but said, "No one is going to look at this." How about I'M going to look at it, the guy paying over $10,000?! As stated at the beginning, this was several years ago, so hopefully they've gotten better, or my experiences were an anomaly. They had TWO chances to get it right, though. I never got around to filling out the J.D. Powers survey I got years ago, so I'm glad I can write this.

We'll sure miss our fur-baby but it's best she didn't suffer needlessly. Our beloved Sweetheart had responded well to medications but her kidneys failed this past weekend.

Sweet Dreams has designed a Memorial Garden where Sweetheart's ashes will be scattered for future visitations. They now have their own cremation facility.

It was an incredibly difficult day, but the team from Sweet Dreams made it as peaceful and gentle as possible.

Oliver passed calmly, at home, in his favorite spot, surrounded by love. I'm deeply grateful for their kindness and professionalism. It takes a special kind of heart to do what they do, and Sweet Dreams truly has it. They helped turn one of the hardest moments into a peaceful farewell, and I'll always be thankful for that.

My friends spouse was laid to rest here on a beautiful Saturday. Everything seemed very…read moreprofessional and well arranged. After the grave side service the burial area was cleaned up and closed very promptly. I have passed by this cemetery many years, and it seem well taken care of. I like the fact that there are plots for a casket burial as well as urns. The memory benches by some graves were a nice touch, and the overall area layout of this memory garden is beautiful. Driving into to the area and parking was easy as well as getting out of there. The funeral service was held elsewhere but this establishment offers the option to have your loved one's service on location. Since I didn't make any arrangements, I do not have any idea about the fees and price options. However, I do highly recommend checking this business out if you face death in the family.
