On Jan 11, 2018 my husband passed away. I called Patterson to arrange pick up and funeral services…read more They sent 2 gentlemen (I am using that word loosely). The older gentleman was rude and belligerent. Because my husband passed away at home suddenly, we did not have a doctor to sign the death certificate, this man said to my son and myself that he was taking the BODY anywhere until we had a doctor sign off on my husband. He kept saying to us DO YOU HEAR ME. We were on the phone with Perry Point to get them to sign the DC which take a wait to get anyone there. He said I am leaving, I said you are going to just leave my husband in the bedroom dead, his reply was have someone come and take him to Baltimore (I guess he was talking about the morgue) and he left my son and I with my dead husband. I called Foard's in Rising Sun they came out right away and handle getting the death certificate signed, they were amazing. I wanted the community to hear just how Lee A. Patterson & Son Funeral Home P.A. treated my son and I at the worst time in our lives. Treated us with told disrespect and rude beyond anything I have ever experienced. Please save yourself from their torcher and do not allow them to do this to your family. If they did this to us, they have done it before and will do again. My son told a few people about our experience and he said they hear similar stories about Patterson.

When asking the variance, we were told that the price excluded the cremation. We were very up front about wanting cremation and couldn't believe we were dealing with a 'bait and switch' during such a difficult time. The woman we met with was loud, curt, and had no bedside manner. There were several caddy remarks made and I am so terribly disappointed. We were rushed and the full payment was expected that day. We did find a great and caring home close by which I have reviewed as well. They were very lax about payment timeframe (which of course we paid in full), and very compassionate during such a difficult time. Please remember what kind of business you're running here. People are dealing w a terrible loss when they come to you, show some warmth and compassion.

I was struck by the sincerity of the staff.. not the usual slickness that is accompanied by questionable sympathy. My friend was never rushed or pressurred.. and the represenative that worked with us was a truly likeable and easygoing guy. I also like that this business donates plots to fallen police and firemen. I will say the office building is quite outdated and a bit run down.. Actually doesn't smell that great.... but that is not why we come. We come for the grounds... which are beautiful and cater to a wide variety of cultures. It is very interesting to see the different ways people memorialize their loved ones, America is a melting pot and so are our funeral/burial customs. The niche here leans way from the mainstream American cemetary... although it certainly isnt too far out of the box. It is nice that they make it clear that they can find a way to honor almost any cultural tradition. They don't have headstones( just in laid markers) ... so all you see is beautiful green punctuated by a few family mausoleums. There is a lake in the middle with swans and ducks.It is placed on some gently sloping hills with some tall old trees. They have several themed gardens.. including a heroes garden, and lovely tranquility garden ( catering to the Asian population) .. as well as several others. Usually cemeteries are such depressing, creepy places.. but this looks like a well maintained park.. The main mausoleum, is quite nice and airy.. It has gone through a few style incarnations over the years.. but it actually works well... i found the building to have a very serene overall effect. I came to be of comfort to a friend, but also ended up finding a place that just might suit my own family one sad day.
