I recently had my funeral service held here for my son and everything from the reception to the…read morewarm welcome was nothing but exceptional. I had invited at least 45 people to attend the funeral, and for a large portion of the service, it went smoothly and as intended. It was only until my ex wife arrived that everything started to go downhill. Being the petty ex-partner she was, she came with hellfire and brimstone following behind her. As soon as she arrived, she began throwing accusations at me and my guests that my son was not dead, and instead, was claiming that we were holding her husband hostage within the coffin in the middle of the room. We all collectively laughed at her, brushing off her incoherent screeching as nothing more than delusion. When she began using the cake knife as a weapon, and the punch bowl ladle as a makeshift blunt object, the staff promptly called in their bouncer "Jaquan" to deal with the situation. Police were immediately called, and dragged the demented woman away from the premise. We soon all raised a toast to my son as he was lowered into his grave, ignoring the desperate and aggressive pounding coming from inside the coffin. Overall, I was very pleased with my time here at Hughes Funeral Home and Crematory, and would recommend their wonderful services for any untimely passing of any friend or family member you may have.

I was not allowed to see him at all. Finally he was released to the funeral home. We were planning to have have him cremated per his wishes. The people at the funeral home gave us an "appointment" that we could see his body. When my daughter and granddaughter, and I arrived, I was desperate to see him. I was told no, we had time do the paperwork first. She meant pay. She seemed to be intentionally stalling and dragging out the paperwork. I got very upset because all I could think about was telling my beloved husband goodbye and that I loved him one last time. She walked out and told me that she couldn't deal with me. Well, I'm sorry but the hurt feelings could have been avoided if she had just let us see him FIRST. Then, when the paperwork was finally finished, she told us we had 10 minutes. I told her that the man told us over the phone 15 to 20 minutes. It was for "ID only". She pushed a paper across the table and told me to look right there as she pointed, this is the policy. I just burst into tears. She led us back to the room where he lay and let us in. We stayed with him for a while, said our goodbyes and then we left. Losing your mate if 36 years, unexpectedly, to a horrible accident, and having him taken away to the coroner is awful enough but to be treated like we were at this funeral home, no compassion at all for the newly widowed wife or family. I wish we had never even heard the name Hughes funeral home. I strongly recommend people, that you start planning now and avoid this funeral home. My husband and I were new to the area and had no idea. When you are in a business where people are devastated by the loss of a loved one, you dont add to the pain which these people did.

On the day of my dad's burial, I asked if Todd had put my mom's remains in the casket with my dad. He told me he didn't have my mom's remains. After talking to my brother, he told me he had handed her remains to Todd personally. I told Todd this and he wanted my brother to look in his car to see if they were still there. I told him NO he had them. He then looked again and discovered they were in a Cabinet, that his wife had put them in there by mistake. Then he messed up the address for my dad's death certificate and it took 8 weeks to get. My brother set up an appointment with him to pick up the certificates after Todd had supposedly fixed the problem. When my brother arrived at Todd's office, Todd was late and asked my brother "Can I help you?", to which my brother said, "I talked to you on the phone and made an appointment to pick up my father's death certificates 15 mins ago". Todd did NOT have the certificates and my brother had to go to the health department office and get the situation straightened out himself. Needless to say an all-around bad experience with Todd Cason.

A lovely place to walk around and visit for some local history & art. I believe there are over…read more35,000 graves here and it is well maintained by the City of Mobile. I think this is the third cemetery in Mobile after Church Street Graveyard & Cathedral Square. There is so much to see here, part of the cemetery is The Mobile National Cemetery, plus there are old Jewish graves & Confederate Soldiers graves. There are many statues & beautiful headstones, mausoleums, & many people are still buried here today. It is free to visit, safe, I see families walking, exploring, people jog through, ride bikes, walk dogs. I believe the cemetery is open from 8am to 5:30pm everyday. The only bad thing I can say is that you have to be very careful about where you park your car, it can be very muddy from the rain Mobile gets year round. There are signs advising of this. There is a nice park next door, I usually park there and walk over.

If there is a famous person's tombstone or there is something unique about a cemetery then I enjoy it but if not it's just blah to me. Magnolia Cemetery had me somewhere between enjoyment and blah. We read on the pamphlet that we got at the Alabama Welcome center that you could get a map at the cemetery itself inside the office. Why this map isn't just on the pamphlet, I don't know. There weren't any cars at the office (more like a house) and it seemed unwelcoming. I wasn't about to knock on the door of a house in a cemetery. If you tick them off, they know where to hide bodies!!!! So we just set out to explore ourselves. There were gravesites of a lot of civil war soldiers on both sides of the road and lots of old graves from the early 1800's. Some tombstones were worn so bad that you couldn't read names or dates. Many tombstones were toppled over and in need of repair. I'm not sure if this brought a sense of historic decay or is just neglect. There were makers all around with random numbers but I have no idea what they meant since I had no map. They have a website but you can't access the map there either. We still enjoyed walking around but it would have been better to know what we are looking at. It's worth checking out but it's not Arlington Cemetery or Vicksburg.
