I recently had to bury a loved one of mine and the Ford-Stewart Funeral Home made it a much more…read moredifficult experience than it already inherently is. This place is does not exist so you can mourn the loss of someone you love in the way they deserve, but instead to gouge you of every penny they can while you are grieving the loss of someone special to you. They merely exist to make a profit off of the unfortunate passing of your loved ones and attempt to drain your wallet while you are between tears. As soon as they found out that we were not purchasing an over-priced casket from them their attitudes toward us completely changed. During our viewing they would come up to us, while we were mourning with family and friends, to discuss financial issues such as payment to them. When we asked if this matter could wait, they responded 'no' it needs to be done now. Really? Now? Also, we were forced to cut out parts of the service for my loved one because they said it would be too long and they would have to charge us extra. Too long? If we left it the way it was, the service may have run for approximately 45 minutes. Fortunately, I have not been to many funerals, but I do not consider a 45 minute service to say your final farewells and blessings a long service by any stretch of the imagination. I would actually say that is closer to the short to average length of other services I have attended. The staff here was all business. They were rude, selfish, and cold to my entire family. I would not wish the family of my worst enemy to have a service here. On a positive note, the grounds and facility were nice and well-maintained, but that is the only positive comment I can make about this place. If I could give this place negative stars I would.

We paid the extra to hire a private escort service . Then two months later I was cleaning the grave and I slipped on the sheet metal . I called Darren and he pretty much blamed on us. I told him I will fix myself with more dirt under the gravel and he said hold on. Then his DADDY came to the phone . This man was absolutely the rudest human being I have talked to in years. He told me I don't have a problem and that I should call the monument company . He would not even listen to the issue as the monument is not what I was calling about . NEVER AGAIN WILL I DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE . RUDE BEYOND WORDS . IN FACT DOWNRIGHT HATEFUL.

Having never been to a funeral before I was of no use to her "Thankfully" friends and Fairview were able to walk her through the steps needed to make decisions. I was told that the staff would be accommodating for this service and it's traditions, it was a bit out of the norm with a few hundred people attending coming from far and wide to pay their respects. I felt the need to go and visit the other day for the first time since the funeral and not remembering exactly where he was placed that day had to go to the office and have him located. The office manager and I spoke and was able to find the name but no information, the account was apparently in the "executors" name which I did not have so we had to do try and figure it out for a few minutes. She was patient and I was confused, then it "clicked" she remembered which funeral it was she "had attended it that particular day" and even drove me to the sight herself. After speaking for a few minutes she offered to pick me up and bring me back to the office when I was done but chose to walk instead and then she turned and gave me an unexpected hug before she left. The grounds are clean, appear to be well kept and there is a Methodist church within walking distance.

My mother bravely went to Tara Garden Chapel to preplan her cremation, etc. She paid $1000.00 down…read moreand was to finance the rest. Well, Tara Garden Chapel took a $1000.00 from her on that day and the rest was supposed to be small monthly payments out of her bank account, but the finance company a couple weeks later also took a $1000.00 out of her bank account for the down payment. So my mom has paid a $2000.00 down payment that was only supposed to be $1000.00. When she called them instead of immediately fixing their mistake, they have been giving her the run around for almost a month now. My mom is in a weakened state medically and she is an older person who just lost her husband. She keeps hoping that they will do the right thing, but they won't cause ALL they care about is money and not her. They have committed fraud here and so now we (her kids) are giving them one more day to fix it or we are gonna have to get involved. I will never do business with these people again and I wish my mother would cancel her whole darn contract with them because they are nothing but crooks! I hate to think that when my mother passes away I will have to deal with these slimeballs after what they have put her through. She lives off of social security and $1000.00 is a lot of money!!!
