First of all, Gage was with us the whole time, from picking up my loved one's body, to the planning and the service. He arranged my father's burial items and dressed him beautifully. Nisha was wonderful, the director, kind and patient. No one pressured us to spend money or anything, just do what's right for us. Their embalmer did an amazing job of making my dad look like he was about to get up and start talking. I realize what a terribly morbid topic this is, but I know this review might help someone in a tough situation. I'm happy we chose this place.

I was very specific that cremains be mailed to one address and death certificates to another. Was confirmed at least 3 times by Kathy. Request for certificates took way too long to travel 50 miles to a neighboring County. When asked about the delay, Kathy followed up at first then we never heard back from her. Cremains took another few Friday's to arrive. It's been 6 weeks now and we still don't have the certificates in the right place because Kathy mailed the cremains and the certificates together and we had to turn around and re-mail the certificates to the right place. Pricing was good, but you get what you pay for in life and in death we learned.

It's a clean office with displays of headstones available. I was warmly greeted by Amber and she was so helpful. She put together a mock up of the headstone so that I had a general idea of what it would look like and so that I could share it with my family. When I went back I spoke to the manager (?) and he put together the final stone. Payment was super easy (online) and the prices were great. We ended up with a beautiful headstone for my folks and I could not be happier with Forever In Stone. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

He said it'll be $300 more and in two days time. He said he'll have someone reach out to me for the date and time. I waited all that day and the next day and no phone call so I started calling after 2pm 3x that day and no one answered. I called repeatedly for the next two days drove to their," office ". Long story shot, three weeks and few answers phone calls with them saying waiting on state licensing. They cremated her before we got to say goodbye. I went to pick her up on February 13, 2026. Yes they gave me a refund and an urn but still to this very day I feel like I failed my daughter. I wish I had never took the recommendation from that Nurse. I do not recommend this company.
