I just loved him and highly recommend him and this place.

Their process is slow and they do not seem to care about communication. They do not offer any assistance beyond another excuse why my husband is still at the coroner's office almost 3 weeks after his passing always placing the delay on the fault of the coroners office or doctors office. Now they state that the cremation, preparation of ashes and death certificate MAY be done next week! Maybe!!!! My life is on hold waiting for them to do the job they have been paid to do.

I had to handle this task from 200 miles away and I am grateful to have chosen this group. Elizabeth took my early morning call and was very compassionate. She guided me through the steps to get my sister cared for with professional grace. From the first call to the home delivery of her ashes, all the staff were efficient and kind. I have worked for an excellent hospice for 20 years now. I am well aware of the standards of cremation and burial agencies. My expectations were exceeded with the staff at the Tulare location.

Mike is very professional and knowledgeable and is very good at communicating all aspects of the end of life process. He was very understanding and really makes you feel like you and your family are the most important people while your there. As difficult as it was to navigate the passing of our lives one, he made it okay to ask dumb questions and did everything he could to make us feel welcomed. I highly recommend Marshall Spoo Funeral home to anyone in need of their services. Thank you Mike and the rest of the staff for taking such good care of my Mom and allowing our family to have one last visit with her.

Knowing how much it meant to me, he went back and got it then was able to deliver it within minutes to the start of the funeral service. My dad would have called that "divine intervention." I also want to complement the make up artist for the amazing job she did making my dad look like himself. I highly recommend Reis.

We let them know our sister suddenly passed away and to fulfill her wishes we requested to have an open casket and the representative from Reis said they needed to see the body first. She proceeded to tell me "do you understand what they do during an autopsy? I can give you the details". I was horrified and so shocked and abruptly said "NO" and she proceeded to tell me about all of the incisions my sister would have on her body. When I asked to meet with somebody that afternoon, she told me there were no appointments available. Not once did she say sorry for your loss or anything consoling. She was so crass and truly heartless. Being from out of town we needed to find a funeral home right away and stopped by Marshall-Spoo Sunset Funeral Chapel who welcomed us with open arms (without an appointment) and showed the compassion we so needed.

We have never provided them our address (until today to opt out & express how disrespectful the flyer was) and did not even know they existed until we had a death. Our PO Box is in a different County & the Decedant is from out of State. Incredibly distasteful Trident Society of Santa Cruz. Of all organizations, you should know that. An organization that intentionally inflicts additional pain to the family after the fact is not an organization we would ever send a loved one to. We can only assume you monitor death records and target families. Wrong...just wrong. If you want to advertise, do it in advance. That would have been fine.
