Family had come from out of town to spend final days with him but had to leave on Tuesday so we wanted the funeral on Monday. Spence director told us it would be "tight" but did not say they could not do it. Told us to inform hospital to transfer my father to their care upon his death. He passed Saturday evening and they took him to the home. 1 star is that Spence did not charge for the pick up - read on. Due to family and religious reasons we did not want a viewing, we dressed our father for burial, and we had a church service where we did everything under the direction of our Bishop. We received two calls from Spence on Sunday morning asking us to come in to sign contract. Estimated price was greater than $6000. We arrived at noon and they informed us they had booked two other services Monday and would not be able to assist us until Tuesday. There policy was not to start anything until actual death occurred. Between noon and Sat evening they had booked another Monday service. We had no issue with the policy but asked why they had not called immediately to inform us giving us more time to find another service provider. We asked for a referal as we were now less than a day away. "We do not give referrals" was the response. They wanted us to change the funeral date. In retrospect Spence did us a favor because we went with Day-Manofsky Funeral Service who charged us $2378 (over $3000 savings from Spence). Rick Day also put it together in less than 24 hours so our family could all attend the funeral and burial of our father. (I do give referals.) Bottom line - choose an alternative to Spence.

As promised, I am sharing what has been going on with my 89 year old Mother. I'm not sure if it was…read morebecause I contacted Ohio Embalmers and Funeral Directors by phone and they reached out to Caliman Funeral Services or because of my previous review or because my Mother has contacted them several times these past two months, but they have refunded her money. I'm still not understanding one thing. If she prepaid for her funeral service, it was supposed to be earning interest which meant as prices climbed her funeral, as she ordered or requested it should have been fully paid for, but she was informed that if she died today with the money she had paid, it would not have been enough to cover the full cost. Why not? We are looking into other avenues to make sure when the time comes, the money is available and she will have the type of going home service she wishes to have. I'd like to add, they did a wonderful job with my Father's service in 2006.

Andrea was on top of every step of the complicated process of returning her body home and kept in constant contact with us.

Andrea and Leigh are doing a wonderful job in carrying on the legacy of their family and insuring ours are taken care of during challenging and difficult times. I simply cannot recommend Graumlich Funeral Home and Andrea and Leigh more. Linda Streamer

I always bring a weed eater to do grave clean ups. However today there was no need. All the graves were perfectly groomed. The entries cemetery was beautiful. I have been coming several times a year for more than 30 years and usually spend a few hours weed eating and such. There was nothing for me to do today. Besides placing flowers. I don't know if they changed landscapers but hope this is the standard going forward. A very pleasant surprise.
