I am having trouble with Forest Hill East concerning having the headstone that belongs on my mom…read moreand dad's grave moved back on the grave. It was moved back in June for the burial of my mom. I filed a complaint about it 3 weeks ago in the office and followed up a week later and was not moved back and went back to the office to tell them and the sales manager, Heather Jones, took me to a room and told me about them having only 2 on the groundcrew and having a long list of complaints. But she said she'll move me up on the list and label my issue as urgent and told me that after 7 days if the stone wasn't moved, to call her and gave me her card with her mobil number. After those 7 days, the stone was still not moved and I called her cellphone, she didn't answer so I left a voice message. She hasn't called back since. Just yesterday, I went back to the grave and STILL stone isn't moved plus there's several holes in the grave and I sent pics of it to her cellphone and of course told her stone STILL not moved. I'm still yet to hear from her. Service is really, really slow at this cemetary and I am very frustrated about it.

I am deeply disappointed with my experience. My husband, Kelvin Darnell Smith, passed away on April…read more11, 2025, and I paid for his headstone in full because I was told delays in payment could delay the process. I provided the wording for his memorial on November 18, 2025, and after months of waiting, repeated phone calls, texts, and follow-ups, I still did not have answers about the status of his headstone. As a grieving widow, I should not have to chase down information or wonder whether my husband's memorial was ever properly processed. Communication has been inconsistent, and despite being told an email was sent, I never received proof of it after requesting it multiple times. I have kept records of my payments and communications and hope this matter is resolved soon. Families who are grieving deserve compassion, transparency, and timely service. Right now, I cannot recommend this company based on my experience.

My dear aunt taught me early, "If you can't say something nice, then say nothing at all." I have nothing to say at all about Memphis Funeral Home on Germantown Street. Gene, thank you so much.

I DEFINITELY would NOT recommend this funeral home! My father passed away 2 and 1/2 months ago and…read morehis ashes were to be shipped to me. I was told there was a $50 charge for that and as soon as they received payment they would immediately send him. I called a week after mailing payment to make sure they received it and yes they did, but they could not ship him because they "ran out of special shipping boxes and had to order them." Ok, that's fine....two weeks later...no shipment, so I called again. "We got the boxes in, but you'll never believe this...we ran out of labels! And those have been ordered." Still waiting....cremated remains have yet to be shipped. My take on the whole situation is that they need the extra money and they'll take it any way they can get it....$50 at a time.

The Memphis National Cemetery was established in 1867. Originally named Mississippi River National…read moreCemetery during the time the Union Army forces took control of Memphis. There are around 8,866 graves of Civil War unknowns, the 2nd largest number of unknowns in any of the national cemeteries under the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affaires. This is attributed to the Memphis National Cemetery not being established until 1867, two years after the close of the Civil War. During the initial burial, wooden burial markers placed at the graves had been removed, or exposed to the elements. There was no mandatory use during the Civil War of any form of personal ID. In 1867, about 250 bodies of Union soldiers, from the Battle of Fort Pillow, were moved from a battlefield cemetery south of Fort Pillow to Memphis National Cemetery to be re-interred in a designated field. Many of the dead from the Sultana maritime disaster are also buried here.
