They kicked my deceased mother out of the funeral home because I got emotional and upset what a joke!!!

My mother told me that she and my father had decided to be cremated. My father was was in an…read moreassisted living facility in Glen Burnie and I had looked at a few places that were incredible in price....and that is not a compliment to them, trust me. I came across Simplicity looking for cremation services in Glen Burnie, I had emailed them about pricing as I was told by Hospice of the Chesapeake that I needed to start thinking about arrangements. We had known his condition was getting worse on Saturday, but the Hospice believed he had a few more days....it ended up only being hours. I sent out four emails of established places that HAD email addresses asking for information and prices. In those four emails, the only one that has been returned was from Simplicity. Mind you at the time of sending the email, I was simply trying to get the ball rolling. I happened to open my mail after getting a call from the ALF that my father had expired and I just felt it was a sign from my dad that we should move forward. I phoned and Celia answered the phone. From the moment she did, I just felt a connection to her. She explained the process, answered the questions I had and we proceeded with having my father's physical body picked up by the facility. We made an appointment time and I gave the family the details so that we could see my father off. This is probably one of the questions I should have asked, but having never ever dealt with arrangements of this type, it simply slipped my mind, which is how is someone laid out in a direct to cremation. That said, my father was covered and he was in a room that was much like your normal looking funeral home inside. It's quiet and peaceful, but the facility itself is in a office front/business park. Having said that, the price reflects that. Having seen some of the prices with the biggies around town that have their PDF's posted online, you aren't being soaked for the entire insurance policy that is meant to help your loved one go on without the other. You aren't paying to pull up to a big, pillared building with 90 employees inside directing you to your loved one or maintaining the big cars that are outside. Most of all, if you have a parent who is in a fragile condition like my mother is at the moment, it's easier on them. She didn't feel she could handle all of the people that come with a funeral, so this eased my mind. Celia was professional and understanding of all of our issues, explained the process, we selected an urn and a piece of jewelry for my mom that she can have with a little of my father next to her heart. There is also preplanning which I will be getting into once I get the affairs of my father out of the way. With all the paperwork and calls that you have to make, this will be very helpful when the time comes for my mom. I hugged her when we all departed and I knew from her hug that she is a caring individual.....you just know when something is real and a person cares. In the end, we went to lunch and celebrated my father's life with the family and we will have a celebration at his church next week with those he cared about. Isn't this what it's suppose to be anyway? When it's all said and done, I feel like my father would have rather had *Simplicity* (fitting name) and us enjoy reminiscing about his life, not crying over a coffin because as believers, he is simply not there. Even with planning for celebrations of his life and paying for his cremation, we are nowhere close to what the big guys around town wanted for. If this is something you are thinking for your loved one, this is definitely something to investigate for yourself. As odd as I feel writing about our end, there is just something to be said for this process. I highly recommend Simplicity.

Tyler was very helpful, gave honest advice and was supportive. Everyone at Barranco was sympathetic, available for questions and patient. We wanted just a simple service, since she was already cremated elsewhere. He made it so easy and it was very affordable. It's a nice location and a lovely interior. The parking lot is massive with an exit in the front and rear. They have a huge assortment of flower arranges to choose from, or you can order them on your own elsewhere. I decided to pick the flowers through Barranco, although pricey, it was guaranteed to be there I didn't have to do anything (I was distracted enough). We took the flowers home with us after the event, and after a week or more, the Barranco flowers outlasted most of the other flowers people sent from a local florist! They also arranged a photo slide show, and put a nice obituary page on their website. They also recorded the program for us and sent us the link. Very high quality and all you need. I do wish we could hear the organ play (funeral music) when we entered, but that was only me, my brother didn't want that. Overall, a solid experience and consistent. I highly recommend.
