I can honestly say that Lauren Spence is an exceptional funeral director. From the very beginning…read moreshe explained every single detail clearly and thoroughly, including costs, taxes, shipping, preparation, urns, and certificates. There was never any backtracking or surprise fees. Lauren is not only professional and precise, she is also a genuinely good and honest person. She showed compassion, empathy, patience, and understanding through the entire process. She was relatable, appropriately funny when it was needed, and even shared some of her own personal struggles, which made her feel genuine and human rather than just someone doing a "job." She made the most difficult time of my life easy and as stress free as possible when it came to, what I thought would be the most stressful part "funeral arrangements". I truly felt that my mother's body was being treated with grace, respect, love and care. Her commitment and service to me and my family left such a deep impression that I have already decided I would want to be brought here myself from Las Vegas when my time comes. Lauren even went beyond her normal hours, reaching out on her days off just to make sure everything was handled perfectly. She is amazing at what she does and she left an everlasting impression that could never be replicated. I am so grateful that God/fate brought me to her knowing that this part of my life would be handled by a true professional with the most exceptional service I've ever had. Greenwood is very fortunate to have someone like her. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you Lauren! -Jake R. & family

My experience Saturday, August 1, 2026 burying my aunt, Mary Jean…read more When we arrived at the gravesite, the workers came up to help get her placed on the lowering device. (The head of the casket was bout 4-5 inches lower than the foot end. NOT level at all) I understand that the section I own in on a hill, but it could have been level. When we were placing her on the lowering device, one of the workers (older gentleman, glasses, gray hair I though he had something on the back of his head like a ponytail, but not for sure) stated "Feet to the street" and I was like what are you talking about, She should be "Head face East" I have never heard of anything like that, and that is should be "Head face East". He raised his voice at me and exclaimed that he has worked in that cemetery over 20 something years and that was the way it was and was gonna be. I was like not today it wont, again I had never heard of that. He walked off mumbling under his voice and drove off on his cart. Another younger guy showed up on a cart and I asked to speak to who ever was in charge. He called Kurt and I explained to him that I was the funeral director, the next of kin and the lot owner and that her facing west was not an option. Kurt stated that there would be no issue with doing that. When we buried her husband in 2013, I was the funeral director on that burial and nothing was said at that time, I was there for the lowering of the casket and we had the casket open for viewing and was lowered without turning the casket around. I have been very emotional over this death, as she was my Aunt (and last of my fathers family) that I have been caring for, for the last 8 years. She was more like a parent to me and to be talked to that way, especially after paying $2,695.00 to have the grave opened for her to be buried there. I own 9 spaces there, and hope that the next burial I have there is nothing like it was on Saturday. After a week sending my concerns to the funeral home, they have not responded. I guess, they do not care the way their employees talk to families.

This was my first time going to a visitation and funeral with Tree of Life Funeral Home Fort Worth…read morelocation and I was not sure what to expect. I was very impressed with the impressed with the way the company handled both the visitation and funeral for a client who I took care of; I was his nurse. The staff was friendly when I went to the visitation. They pointed me into the right place for the visitation. The day of the funeral, the staff and company were professional, on time and very informative. The staff had manners (which I have other funeral homes, and their personalities were not the greatest) and very thorough in their information that they gave us. We followed the family to the Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetary. I was definitely impressed with your company and would recommend it to others. Keep up the great work!!!

Yes 365 days ago and they still have not delivered it. We call and they don't return calls or texts. They give updates that are false and when you call them they give a later date. My 97yo grandma paid for this last January and just wants to see the finished product while she is still here! So I called them today and said that's it I'm done! I will be posting about this so here's my review! So run as fat as you can away from there. It looks like they have shut down comments on their page so you can only do them if they review them 1st another huge red flag why NOT to do business with them!

Getting a marker put on my mother's grave has been met with excuses and delays. They have our money…read moreand she is in the ground, we are completely at their mercy. Mom was buried in November '21 she is, as of the beginning of this week she is still in an unmarked grave. We were initially told it would be 6 months for a marker to be made, supply issues etc... The option for a temporary marker was never presented by the Funeral home. As a funeral home, it's is their responsibility to offer, not ours as a grieving family to think to ask. One poor review on another site, 6 months after interrment, and they offer to put a temporary marker out, and tell us it will be another 6 to 8 months to get a stone marker. This would have made my mother have an unmarked grave for 12 to 14 months had we stuck to their timeline. We have decided to use a different company than the funeral home offers to get a headstone. That company told us 6 to 8 weeks, not 6 months. I won't even get into the shenanigans they pulled and threats that had to be made in order for us to get our money back to buy a marker from a different company. No family should have to go through this. Emerald hills really dropped the ball on this one.

Didn't realize until the next day that it is listed on Texas Monthly magazine's Bucket List of 63 Things to do in Texas. (It's number 13, appropriate for a spooky cemetery!). Previous reviewers are correct -- the historical significance and uniqueness of this cemetery has to be seen. Over 130 years in existence. I seek out old cemeteries to photograph headstones. I also seek them out in search of old trees (oaks or anything unusual) so I can collect seed. Abandoned or neglected cemeteries are also a place to look for antique roses. Took several pictures and uploaded them to accompany this review. It was a hot 100 deg F when I visited but will definitely be back for more research.

"Carry each other's…read moreburdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." -- Galatians 6:2 When our granddaughter recently passed, I reached out to a funeral home close to our church -- one I had referred several families to over the years (Forest Ridge). One I had done several funerals in (both their old and new location). I reached out to the owner himself (David, whom i've worked with on many occasions), someone I thought knew me and cared. His response? He passed me to a sales rep, who simply emailed me a pricing sheet. Wow. But when I contacted Lucas Funeral Home, the response could not have been more different. The receptionist, recognizing the pain I was in, reached out to the owner, Jim Lucas Sr. Still recovering from surgery, he came in person to meet with me and my son. He hugged us, he wept with us, and he -- along with Doug Jones and Melissa Robinson -- cared for my son, daughter-in-law, and precious granddaughter with dignity and compassion. That's the difference: being treated like a number versus being treated like a soul. So thank you, Jim Lucas Sr., Karen Smith, Bobby Lucas, Doug Jones, and Melissa Robinson -- for showing the love of Christ in the hardest moment of my life. I won't forget you.

To begin with, Billie looked like she was asleep in her final resting place....especially important considering how sick she had been. The casket was beautiful, the visitation was nice and respectful and the graveside service was perfect overall...again, especially considering it was done at 1:00 pm on a hot day.

I would have not chosen this as the funeral home to handle my father's cremation and service had I…read morebeen able to have a say in it. Due to extraneous circumstances around my father's passing, the family member that was in state, was out of the country when he passed and there were delays in the family being notified that were out of state. The hospice he was at called this particular place to pick up my father. I wish I would have been able to intervene sooner. The level of professionalism just wasn't at any level I would call professional. The representative that we dealt with belonged on a used car lot, and not a reputable one. I really don't want to hear about stripper funerals when I am picking out urns and planning a service. He kept telling us the wrong amount for what was due after the initial costs of the cremation, etc. A check was written the day of the service for a remaining balance and then almost a month later, we were informed that we owed them the amount we were repeatedly told was already taken care of. I had asked my in town relative when I was in TX what the deal was, so I could handle it out of my father's accounts if needed, they didn't have the answers, so I relied on a proper accounting from the funeral home. Basically, it had to come out of pocket when a month ago it could have been taken care of in a different way that we no longer had access to. It was all paid, it was just basic misinformation, miscommunication, lameness on their part throughout the whole process. They found a reverend even though I had request that they did not, who just happened to be the reverend of the used car sales man funeral guy. My father's pastor was out of the country and I figured, better to have none then someone who did not know or care about him. The Stand in reverend they found used the wrong name of my father's mother even after I had asked him to read what I had written about my father seeing as he didn't even know him. That is always great during a memorial service, especially when you are paying this person, oh I mean "tipping" them and they basically refuse to read what you prepared then say the wrong name. After receiving the Death Certificate, I realize why he used the wrong name of my father's mother, because it was also wrong on the death certificate. It is not the name listed on my father's birth certificate. Another fail. He also told us the obituary had already been run, we did not even get a copy or link to it. But, it now ends up, they never ran the obit even after charging us for it. So, they are going to run it this Friday, a month after the funeral. Another epic fail on their part. I called the funeral director, Lee, to talk to him about this, to express my overall dissatisfaction. He came out of the gate funky; like he was put out that I would even try to have a conversation with him about anything I was unhappy with. I was cut off, over talked, disrespected and hung up on. I have a feeling that a lot of more mature "gentlemen" in Texas are old school and do not know how to discuss business with a woman respectfully. I was told that it was his "right" to continue to interrupt me. Great. I was told that what I was telling him was 100% wrong and when I asked if his accounting was 100% right, he said "absolutely". I really hadn't even been able to say a full two sentences at this point. Then, he started lighting in to me about the length of time that they had to hold my father and issues he evidently had about my sister being out of the country and not having access to reliable communication methods. He actually told me she could have sent a TELEGRAM. OK. Right. Because that is such a preferred method of communication. I am sure they charged us for the time my father was there, generously, and also it was almost impossible for me to get a timely call back when I did get in the mix and start dealing with them. The location is also in a industrial-ish, not so nice area with nothing around it but hospitals. Not nice at all. The overall appearance of the funeral home is tacky. Plastic columns and plants. I would not recommend them, at all. It was a clown show at best.
