Kemp Funeral Home & Cremation Services is located on Evergreen Rd between Northwestern Highway and…read more9 Mile Rd in Southfield, Michigan. The licensed funeral director is Stephen R. Kemp, II, CCO. Their motto is 'Where Lasting Memories are Uniquely Yours.' I have attended multiple viewings and services here at Kemp Funeral Home today and in the last several months. Many of the services were for parents of my friends and neighbors. The services were conducted professionally by Kemp staff and with ultimate respect of the grieving families. FYI: Kemp Funeral Home offers live streaming of their chapel services. This provides great value to friends and loved ones who may be unable to travel to attend the service in person.

They did not care about our continued loyalty and claimed that they had no time to meet with us all day (even though they state that they're open 24 hours). We called at 2pm. I said that we'd find someone else who would be able to meet with us, which we did. The experience at the other place was significantly better than our experiences here. This funeral home is outdated, was never involved in our past funerals, and couldn't even meet with us. They lost a lot of money that day and a loyal customer.

The piece of mine, that the husband family funeral service rendered to myself and my family was priceless. Shaquita was very patient during the coordinating process, and Audrey was very courteous to the family during the funeral and mr. Anderson was very courteous and timely with transporting us to the funeral home and back home after service. We our hearts are warm, knowing that our grandmother was late to rest the best possible way.

While my mother had said she had bought a pre-paid cremation package we could not find anything in her apartment for that. I called Husband after checking Yelp and Shaquita was super helpful with letting me know what I needed to do, cost, and time frame with even just the first call. The next day they were able to get her body from the medical examiner's office after I identified her that morning and then my brother and I met with Kimberly later that afternoon to take care of all the paper work. She told us what they would take care of, broke out the costs for us, and gave us a time frame to expect to be able to pick up my mom's ashes and the death certificates. They called me the next week within the time frame Kimberly had given us that everything was ready for pick-up. The Husband Family staff eased what was a trying and hectic time by the response of their courteous, compassionate, and professional staff.

The two people who came to the house to pick up at 4:00 AM during a snowstorm were very professional. The Funeral Director, Sherry, was empathetic and professional. There was no "sales pressure" of any kind. Sherry gave clear descriptions of all the services and prices. Everything was very clearly and compassionately explained. Once services were selected, Sherry carefully reviewed them and the prices. The prices were very reasonable. There is ample parking. The decor of the funeral home is attractive. The common areas and every room I saw were spotless. Every aspect of my family's contact with AJ Desmond & Sons showed caring and professionalism. I highly recommend AJ Desmond & Sons!

A loved one passed away at home and this was the nearest funeral home. We called and they were able…read moreto come pick the deceased person up. We went up soon after to discuss services and pricing. The place itself is gorgeous; bright, welcoming. Not stuffy or sad. You can tell it's been recently updated. We were comfortable in the lobby and in the consultation room. We were offered complimentary bottled water, which is nice when you're bone dry from crying for hours straight. We made it clear from the beginning we didn't want a funeral or even viewing service. The salesperson was respectful of that and moved forward with going over cremation services. The cremation service itself is carried out by another company and was only like $600? But for some reason, the funeral home charges almost $3000 on top of that for their time and services. That seems wild to me for someone who didn't want viewing, mourning services, visitation, etc. It's expensive to live and it's expensive to die. The salesperson was friendly and mostly respectful, although we could hear the misogyny when he spoke to my husband directly, and not his sister, who was actually handling all the business. Don't like that. But he accommodated all of our simple requests without fuss. Besides the oldschool mentality of our salesperson, it was a fine place to spend a couple hours talking about a dead person.

We have used Verheyden Funeral Home in Grosse Pointe for years. This is the first time we have used…read morethe Clinton Township area as many of us have relocated here over the years. I think this may have had a different name prior. This was not an expected death. We knew that our loved one had indicated that cremation would be their request which made one of the choices faced by family somewhat comforting. If that can even be possible. Telephonic contact at 6am was prompt and professional. Staff during the funeral was kind and helpful. As one will experience the cost of a funeral is shocking. We chose a short viewing on a Sunday which everyone was pleased with: Family 12-1pm and open viewing 1-4pm. A short wake at Fern Hill Country Club(see review). Let me leave some information here that you will not see in the cremation casket photo. **We chose the Kenzie I think it is called. The cremation casket that is a steel blue in color that opens like a traditional casket but covered in a Demask fabric. A simple cross placed inside. We feared the casket would be unsightly ,however, it was actually very nice!!! We asked for the floral spray to be just slightly larger to cover the portion of the casket that is over the lower body(Van Maele Florest Clinton Township Michigan, see review). It was perfect and even if it had not been slightly larger it would have been fine. You can also use a blanket with the persons fav sports team draped over the area with or without flowers? Two very large sized poinsettias on each side. A few lanterns with battery operated candles, and what a beautiful setting. Listen to this florist! This is big business let's face it. Prices are high but this florist will do for you what they can and make suggestions to make the viewing beautiful. If you are reading this I am sorry for your loss. I hope that this helps you when thinking about using this casket as a choice? We did not regret any choices we made!
