In June 2024, my family experienced one of the most heartbreaking losses of our lives; the passing…read moreof our beloved mother. In the midst of that pain, we were guided with grace, compassion, and extraordinary care by Martin Thompson & Son Funeral Home & Crematory in Fort Worth. What they did for our family went far beyond a service; they gave us comfort, dignity, and peace during an unimaginably hard time. Payton, in particular, was a godsend. From the moment she stepped in to help, she treated us with warmth and empathy that felt like an embrace. She didn't just fulfill her duties; she went above and beyond, staying in contact with us after hours, making sure every step of the process was handled gently, respectfully, and with deep understanding. When we learned that our mother would need to be transported from Houston; a four-hour drive away. Martin Thompson & Son didn't hesitate. They made the trip themselves, a gesture that spoke volumes about their dedication. Not only did they care for her transport, they worked seamlessly with the private cemetery where our family plot is located, ensuring every detail was handled with precision and grace. Perhaps the most touching act was Payton's careful, loving work in preparing our mother for a private family viewing. Because of the condition she was in, we didn't know if it would be possible to see her again in a way that felt peaceful. But Payton made it possible. She restored her in such a gentle, dignified way that we were able to say goodbye in peace, seeing our mother as we remembered her: serene, whole, and beautiful. I truly cannot say enough about the extraordinary care we received. Martin Thompson & Son didn't just provide a funeral service; they gave us compassion, attention to every detail, and a space where we felt supported and seen. They treat families with a level of personal connection and respect that is rare and deeply needed in times of loss. If you are facing the unimaginable and need a team that will walk with you not just professionally but humanely; this is the place. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you, Payton, and everyone at Martin Thompson & Son. You helped us carry the weight of our grief, and we will be forever grateful!!

Someone who has used them had nothing but great things to say about their fairness and professionalism, even though she didn't have the financial resources to pay. I had the privilege of witnessing Mr. Monty Richards interact with a grieving mother and he was very warm and kind (in both words and actions) as if he sensed her pain. I imagine someone that's been in this business for as long as he has and that's been exposed to death on a daily basis would be numb to grief but it's evident that Mr. Roberts hasn't lost his sense of empathy for others. His actions alone would make me want to use and recommend this funeral home.

Didn't realize until the next day that it is listed on Texas Monthly magazine's Bucket List of 63 Things to do in Texas. (It's number 13, appropriate for a spooky cemetery!).

I also seek them out in search of old trees (oaks or anything unusual) so I can collect seed. Abandoned or neglected cemeteries are also a place to look for antique roses.

My sister and I went to make funeral arrangements for our mother. I have never been to any funeral…read morehome where I was treated as badly as I was at this funeral home. I feel like Monty Roberts is an arrogant, condescending and rude man. We were basically TOLD what we wanted, he talks nonstop and talks over you. We were requesting a different casket from the one he wanted us to purchase and were taken to a "warehouse" offsite to look at caskets because he has none on display at the funeral home. When we got to the warehouse, he brought no one to help him show the caskets to us. He told us he couldn't help us much because he had a bad back. All the caskets were crammed into a corner standing on their ends. My sister and I had to literally move the caskets out by ourselves to look at them. He had no keys available to open many of them so we could see inside once we pulled them out. Nearly every single casket we looked at had dents, chips, gouges or scrapes on them and he told us he would try to repair them by buffing and spraying lacquer on them. He then tried to offer one for free if we would just settle on it. He constantly told us we would be paying much more for the same thing if we had used another funeral home that we had originally picked. He slandered this other funeral home relentlessly to us. My mother's funeral was prepaid and the money in trust at a bank. After telling me that was no problem, that he would just file with the trust for payment, he reneged on that and wanted me to Write him a check up front and if I chose to have him file for the money, he was going to charge me an extra $1015 for doing it. After it appeared to him that I was going to move my mother to another funeral home, he backtracked on that deal. After being there trying making arrangements for several hours, we picked a casket because by that time we were totally worn out. He had my mother's body and had already gotten her embalmed and was very strict about the time we would be allowed to see her once she was prepared for viewing. He would only allow us a half hour prior to the viewing to check her out. We left there feeling totally frustrated and feeling like we had let our mother down. The next morning Monty called me and told me the money wasn't in the trust as I told him, (it was) and that I would need to come write him a check for the total amount of her service. I told him I would pay him for the embalming and transportation of her body to his funeral home but I would be sending someone to pick her up as I didn't want him to do the funeral. I contacted the receiving funeral home, signed paperwork to authorize transfer of her body and they went to get her. When they arrived, Monty refused to release her body and told them he didn't have time. This is what the man picking my mother up told the funeral director where my mom was to be moved to. The funeral director called the police to come out and force him to release my mother's body to the new funeral home. After she was picked up, he kept texting me and basically calling me a liar and berating me for moving her. I would not recommend him or his services to anyone, much less their mother or loved one. He seems to attempt to TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT and gets aggravated when you try to deviate from that. I don't feel he should even be in the business of handling such delicate and emotional situations. There is much more that I could write but will not as I am beyond angry. I will say if you want a decent funeral home and care, this is NOT the one you want to go to. He claims to be less expensive than any other funeral home because he is a "Christian " and doesn't believe in gouging people. I don't feel that offering cheap, messed up products during a time of great sorrow is appropriate nor do I feel I should have to go to a warehouse and rummage though damaged caskets for my mother is appropriate either. Lesson learned. You get what you pay for!!

I can honestly say that Lauren Spence is an exceptional funeral director. From the very beginning…read moreshe explained every single detail clearly and thoroughly, including costs, taxes, shipping, preparation, urns, and certificates. There was never any backtracking or surprise fees. Lauren is not only professional and precise, she is also a genuinely good and honest person. She showed compassion, empathy, patience, and understanding through the entire process. She was relatable, appropriately funny when it was needed, and even shared some of her own personal struggles, which made her feel genuine and human rather than just someone doing a "job." She made the most difficult time of my life easy and as stress free as possible when it came to, what I thought would be the most stressful part "funeral arrangements". I truly felt that my mother's body was being treated with grace, respect, love and care. Her commitment and service to me and my family left such a deep impression that I have already decided I would want to be brought here myself from Las Vegas when my time comes. Lauren even went beyond her normal hours, reaching out on her days off just to make sure everything was handled perfectly. She is amazing at what she does and she left an everlasting impression that could never be replicated. I am so grateful that God/fate brought me to her knowing that this part of my life would be handled by a true professional with the most exceptional service I've ever had. Greenwood is very fortunate to have someone like her. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you Lauren! -Jake R. & family
