Sadly my Mother died in a matter of weeks of becoming ill with Covid-19. Once my Mother's death was near I reached out to David Griffin to see what type of arrangements were being held at this strange time, since everything was shut down. David was so comforting to talk with and understanding of our situation (which also included my parents pre-arranging & paying for their funeral ahead of time at a different firm). David assured me he would make every accommodation he could to honor what was done with the other firm. About a week later my mother passed peacefully in her sleep. We called Griffin Funeral Home early in the morning to make arrangements to bring my mother into their care. The person who answered the phone was extremely pleasant and transferred us to Larry Griffin. Larry assured us Mom would be brought into their care within an hour. We made arrangements with Mary Bartlett over the phone later in the day and scheduled a time to come in and finalize things on Monday. Mary was exceedingly kind, compassionate and helpful during our meeting. We scheduled the Funeral for Friday Morning with my mother being buried after. My Mother looked beautiful. The Funeral Home was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The Staff all kind and comforting. Larry Griffin handled our service on Friday and was very personable and professional, David Griffin made a special trip to come by and greet us, Mary Bartlett did an amazing job coordinating the service and details and Barbara in the office helped answer mine and my father's many questions. Everything was handled perfectly and is much appreciated. I could not think of anything more they could have done! Thank You just seems to little for all you did.

What stood out most to me was how personal everything felt. They didn't make us feel like just another family coming through the door. They listened, answered our questions, gave us guidance when we needed it, and allowed us to create a celebration that truly felt like my mom. On the day of her celebration of life, nearly 150 people came to pay their respects. Despite the large turnout, everything flowed beautifully. I never felt rushed or worried about logistics. I was able to spend my time talking with family and friends, hearing stories about my mom and simply being present in the moment. That was an incredible gift. The space looked beautiful, our flowers and personal items were displayed with care, and every detail was handled respectfully. Even with such a busy afternoon, the staff remained calm, kind and attentive to our family. When you're grieving, there are so many decisions to make when you're not necessarily in the best frame of mind to make them. Having people beside you who are compassionate, experienced and trustworthy makes all the difference. Our family will always be grateful for the care we received and for the beautiful celebration they helped us give my mom, Linda. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to another family during one of life's most difficult moments.

I can't describe how much comfort it brings in not having to worry about all of the little details of organizing a funeral while dealing with a loss.

They kept us abreast of any information in a timely manner, and have continued to follow up with us after the services to see how things are going. I just can't recommend them enough.

But they did a great job this time with my mom's funeral so I wanted to update my rating. My team of Samantha, Mary and Eric did a great job from start to finish. At my initial meeting with Samantha, I expressed some concerns about what had happened the last time and she assured me that the team would have a seamless approach and they did (especially important as Samantha was going on holiday and the team was changing mid stream). There was none of the pressure this time to upgrade all the choices you are offered in terms of coffins, flowers, etc. There were solutions offered to questions raised on flowers, on how things would be set up and even when they heard my brother and I discussing that mom looked a little pale, they added some blush before her visitation to keep her looking her best. I asked that the obituary be a little more personal and I wrote up some thoughts and they incorporated it into the final piece and it really was well done. I also liked that they took our uploaded pictures from her obituary page and turned them into a video montage that we could show during our luncheon that showcased my mom's life. Each child was also given a stick with it on afterwards to keep the memories. Maybe it went better this time because I was more knowledgeable and knew to look out for the pitfalls. Or maybe they changed their policies. Or maybe it was a combination of the two. But whatever the reason, they delivered on what I needed them to do- be a solutions oriented team so that I could grieve and not have to keep thinking about what I might have missed. Thank you!

I ended up standing for over an hour right by the guest sign-in book. The screen across from the large couch scrolled through selected family photos. There was a closet for coats. Another larger room set up with chairs for the scripture readings. The first room upon entry was a big room and conducive for standing, since there wasn't a lot of seating. I was glad I had come during a time with less people. The staff were buzzing around and at some point had to interrupt conversations to round up the siblings ahead of the readings.

Last year, my Mom and I went to visit Santeiu, as my Mom was elderly and declining, and I begged her not to leave all those decisions up to me at the last minute. We were so lucky to meet with Anne Santeiu-Ellis. She was caring and kind, and not at all pushy. Even though we were discussing the planning for, and purchasing of, end-of-life items and services, Anne has a soothing, calming voice and manner that helps you stay calm instead of becoming sad and hysterical. We picked out Mom's casket and vault, which made me feel better, because now I knew that my Mom was going to be buried in the casket of her own choosing. And her headstone would say exactly what she wanted. Anne called Acacia cemetery and let us know what their procedures and costs would be. Considering that no one wants to think of death and dying and funerals, Anne walked us through it in a compassionate way that made us feel relieved in making our choices in advance. Bless my Mom for having chosen in advance the outfit she wanted to be buried in. My Mom died on June 16, 2023. Brandy Carter assured us that she would treat my Mom with the utmost in respect and dignity. She washed and styled my Mom's hair as my sister had asked, and also painted Mom's fingernails red to match her outfit. They did indeed, dress my Mom in everything exactly as asked. This helped us to feel considerably relieved. John Ellis, III, let my sister and I spend time with my Mom before leaving for the cemetery. He was gracious and compassionate, which also helped with our grief. Everyone we met at Santeiu was kind and caring. I am so happy that everything went smoothly, with no arguing or hard feelings. Life itself seems like nonstop arguing over everything, and most people encountered nowadays don't seem to care about anyone except themselves. We appreciated that Santeiu treated us so thoughtfully, caringly, and compassionately. They understood that my Mom was deeply loved, that she had existed, and that her life had mattered. They definitely helped make a sad situation more bearable. Thank you to everyone at Santeiu. There is a photo of the flowers in her casket spray that I posted in the Google Reviews. I was not able to attach it here. My Mom had silk flowers all around the house, and I thought it would be lovely if we could use her silk flowers in the casket spray. My sister found "A Budding Florist," only 2 blocks away from Santeiu, and Sal agreed to work with our silk flowers. The arrangement he created was absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't have been happier. We are happy that her beautiful silk flowers were buried with her. If you have silk flowers you would like used in your funeral ceremony, please contact Sal at A Budding Florist. My Mom's name is Letitia Anna Vezane. Please see her obituary at the Santeiu website.
