I want to thank David Peake and his team at Craft for doing an amazing job with my father's…read morefuneral. I visited David long before my father passed to set up a burial trust and make arrangements in advance. When the time came, David handled everything from the cemetery staff, to the church, to the trust, to the burial. He guided me through each step so that I didn't have to worry about the details. Losing a parent is a stressful and sad experience. David made the process easier by managing and coordinating all parties involved. He also helped me personalize my dad's service so that it reflected his personality to truly celebrate his life. I am incredibly grateful for David's help and highly recommend his services.

From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and a deep understanding of the process. Trent made what could have been an overwhelming situation feel manageable by clearly explaining each step and ensuring all details were handled efficiently. His communication was consistent and respectful, and he was always available to answer questions or provide reassurance when needed. What stood out most was his empathy and patience. He approached everything with care and sensitivity, which made a difficult time much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Trent to anyone in need of support with burial arrangements, his dedication and service are truly exceptional.

My experience with Holy Sepulchre was a nightmare from February until early May. I needed to…read moreconfirm whether there was room for my brother in a cremation only plot where my parents are buried. Before he died, it was his wish to be with our parents and he seemed sure that there was room for him. Just in case, I contacted the cemetery because I did not want any conflict to arise when the "at-need" time came. I became frustrated as the month of March arrived. I began to receive marketing emails from the company that operates and manages the cemetery on behalf of the salesperson. That prompted me to email the sales person to inquire about whether he found an answer to my question posed in February. Sadly, on May 1, that answer came after we had the funeral. In February, the salesperson indicated that he was sure there were "room for 4 souls" in the grave with my parents and he moved to quickly try to sell me on prepaying the grave opening fee and purchase other potential services. The same salesperson called me when we scheduled the service to introduce himself as the person who would be handling my brother's services. This became an unnecessary dispute that caused a lot of stress. While the cemetery "made an exception" to allow my brother to be buried with my parents, there still is something not right here. Another concern about my interactions with their area VP has arisen. He noted that there is no room on my parents' stone to add my brother's name. While that is true, it was also claimed there was no room for my brother to be buried but there was plenty of space for my brother's urn to be buried and there looks to be plenty of room for another stone to be placed. I gave the cemetery 2 stars--originally up from the 1 star I would give because I had a very positive experience with the cemetery's frontline staff when I visited the cemetery on May 6. Taras provided me excellent directions on how to navigate the large grounds so I could visit my great-grandparents' gravesite. His directions were excellent. He provided a map where he even drew a line with the best route to follow through the cemetery. Despite the overly aggressive sales tactics, I ended up having a great experience on the front-lines with Taras.

I began searching for a funeral home based on proximity and…read morereviews. But the reason I chose May Funeral was for a much more important and guttural response to people versus proximity. Parting with a parent is one of life's gut wrenching parts of life. Losing my mom was strange at best and intensely somber at worse. But one of the funeral directors, Tim was an angel. He was incredibly responsive, mindful of unexpected cost my family was not fully prepared for, and most importantly, kind. No human wants to plan a funeral, but the incredibly kind and understanding handling from the very first phone call to the end of the internment services was more than I could ask for. Tim made modes of communication flow with ease, created beautiful holy cards, handled my mom with dignity and grace, tended quickly to logistical tasks such as a death certificate and finding the perfect priest for her services, and all the while remained mindful of financial restraints and had wonderful suggestions along the way. All too often people tend to easily vent their frustration when scenarios do not go their way. But I think it's even more important to sing the praises of wonderful people and wonderful businesses who strive and achieve their best. If you are currently grief stricken, do not know where to start, and have stumbled across this review, might I highly recommend the people of May Funeral home. They will bring you comfort and ease.

My best friend's husband died suddenly in his sleep at the young age of 40. Between her in-laws and…read morethis funeral home, my friend had a viewing that was respectful and handled with such compassion, even with the large influx of people. They tried their best to accommodate the many cars, but we were able to find street parking a block away. The staff greeted us at the door and directed us to where we needed to go. They did a great job setting up tables to feature pictures and belongings. And also took care of holding and bringing all items to the church the next day. My friend needed some extra time with their 1.5 year old daughter to say goodbye at the viewing, and staff allowed her as much time as she needed. Dealing with death is never easy, but having services that help the living to say goodbye in their own way with dignity is a special gift.

I decided to use a different Funeral Director and once we receive the body, I can tell that it had not been and bombed professionally. My mother did not look anything like herself, and the Funeral Home held her body an extra two days instead of just transferring it to the new Funeral Director. On top of that, the pricing was different than what was quoted to me and I decided not to use them at all. I would not recommend them , and if you want your loved one to look like they're sleeping and not look like a dead then please don't use this Funeral Home.. I will be looking into suing the Wood Funeral Home.

This is a little hard for me as it is being written only a week since my mother's funeral. but let…read moreme lay it out as best I can. They are very efficient. they have the details at their finger prints and know what they are doing. When this hits a family the last thing ANYONE is thinking of is what type of wood to make the casket out of or what particular flowers you want. I mean yes you want that stuff BUT you don't think clearly, that is what they do. They help you sort out the muddle and help make it all happen. The down side was availability. yes they made it happen and they were out of sight pretty much at the service and just a little too out of sight. when I had questions it was a hunt to find someoen and rather more to the point there was soemthing i wanted to drop off after the planning meeting but before the funeral and making daily stops at the office no one was there. I was told there was a phone number to call but I was at the back door and saw nothing-that's where the parking lot is, and the idea of no one there gave the place, in the words of Dashiel Hamnett "A sort of vacant feeling" but other than this they were very good and hopefully it will be a LOONG time before we need their services but I'd have no problem going back

If it was not for the reason I will…read moreexplain I would have no reason to not give them 5 stars but I was appalled when I learned of this: Unfortunately, when people were arriving to pay their respects there was a very unwelcomed family member whose actions caused a small argument and someone accidentally bumped into a table resulting in a small vase with a little bit of water and a couple flowers to fall and break. The small puddle of water would have been an easy clean up. The only son of the deceased went to go take care of it but someone working for this group told them they had it covered. I did actually witness this part. I forget how the conversation came up but a couple months ago the son of the deceased told me he was sent a $75 clean-up fee for that. That is a classless move. Did you tell him you had it covered to score an extra $75 or do you think $75 is what you should charge someone to clean up a puddle of water after you mislead them with a quick casual rest assured "I got it." Either way that was a classless move and showed a sincere lack of respect. I am sure you can figure out who was billed for this and give them their money back. Shame!
