Losing a pet is one of the hardest losses. A pet cannot tell you when they're sick or how they're…read morefeeling, you have to make an educated guess and pray you've made the proper decision. But in all that, Martensons Family Pet Services made sure my babies were cared for uniquely and with genuine care. This review has been a long time coming. Dealing with the loss of a pet is difficult. I've had the unfortunate pleasure of using Martensons Family Pet Services twice in 3 years. Most recently, this past November our baby, Phineas, had to make his walk across the rainbow bridge. My husband and I were a wreck. Struggling with this decision we knew we needed to make, living through the experience of his passing, and trying not go insane with grief was and is a battle i struggle with still. But, Donnie... Donnie was something else. He cared for my little man with immense care and walked us through the process with such kindness and empathy. Donnie had told us that he, too, understood our heartbreak as he was grieving the loss of his own pet within that last month. Donnie understood exactly where we were mentally and did everything he could to provide us with the least amount of stress and worry. Donnie took it upon himself to even bring my baby back home to me the same day. We are forever grateful for that. I will miss Phineas for the rest of my life. Thank you Donnie for all your help during that unfortunate time and thank you Martenson's Family Pet Services for bringing such a wonder person to help people in their time of grief.

They were so helpful with recommendations with keeping our feelings foremost. At the actual mass the director notice I had not said my goodbye to my mother as she laid in state. He made sure that I did and never made feel rushed. They were there every step of the way from collecting my mother's body to laying her to rest at the cemetery. Again They never rushed us in anyway, giving us time to grieve in our own way Thank you to all the people at Martenson. I would use them again in a heart beat

Two were family members, one recent one was a friend with no connection to Bill or his funeral home. I am so very impressed to say I couldn't tell the difference in the compassion, time given, quality of care and overall service provided to the recent widow in her sudden time of need as was given to our family in previous funerals. Everything was beautiful and the staff was wonderful. Bacarella Funeral Home is the place to go in this time of life if a person wants the respect and dignity in such a sensitive time.

Thankfully I checked and corrected. Jokes were made to me about my husband haunting this employee because of an article of clothing. A ribbon for the flowers was not ordered. Last name of 2 grandchildren misspelled, I had everything written out. Continuously brought up ex wife, this employee was a cousin to the ex. Told ex mother in law when we were coming in to make arrangements because this employee had family obligations. Escorted ex mother in law in during immediate family only viewing. The ex family had nothing to do with my husband for the last 15 years. Mini urns were dropped off for my husbands family, 6 total. This same employee told me she took out extra for other family members without even asking me. The owner told me I could contact the family and retrieve my husbands ashes, but I did get the bulk of him. Never ever would I recommend this circus. I had one chance at this being the perfect send off for my husband and they took this from me. No stars should be given

My husband lost his sister and we don't live in Michigan. His family gave him permission to make a video on his phone to share with me. He was told he could not do so. I am very hurt that they would not take the special needs of a disabled gentleman into consideration. He was able to send me a picture of his sister in her casket, but that is not the same as a video. Thank you for denying me the opportunity to see my sister in law's funeral service.

We entered and no one was around. I said "You-Hoo?" and no one answered. My niece opened the first available door and saw a woman in a black skirt suit with her blouse untucked and in bare feet standing over an open casket. This woman came out, still disheveled and in bare feet and greeted us. (We should have left then but they had already picked up the body of my sister. She led us to an elevator, which had a huge bag of garbage on it, and took us to a downstairs meeting room. Among other things, she was not prepared for our appointment. She kept leaving to get things she needed. I wanted just a plain cremation because we were planning to inter her elsewhere in the summer. Many times, she said that "they" could help with that. She seemed to be interested in making more business. The funeral home wrote what I believe was an AI generated obituary after I had given her a detailed statement that I wrote. The saleswoman told us that the home would call when they received the death certificates. They did not. I called and had to pick them up at another inconvenient location. Finally, they did deliver my sister's remains, re-emphasizing that they would like to help us with her internment. Deli8vering my sister was the wrong time to ask for more business. I had to write the real obituaries and submitted them to the Monroe News and the Toledo Blade. A couple of weeks later they delivered an "advertising mug" and a corrected obituary. This certainly was too late, and the mug was in poor taste. Just because Merkle Funeral Home has several locations does not mean they are good at what they do. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE!
