My father recently passed away After a short battle with…read morecancer. We needed a straight up cremation service. We weren't looking for anything fancier. On the recommendation of a friend, My mom chose Wages and Sons. After reading some positive reviews, I agreed that they were the one. The facility was decorated ornately Although some might call it cluttered. Either way, it's a funeral home. I couldn't help it when I shuddered. We were doing a memorial elsewhere, So they worked with us on the price. I assume that they do that a lot. But my mom thought it was nice. My brother in law was there for the viewing Since none of us were up to the task. He actually volunteered to do it. It was way more than I would have asked. They were expedient with the cremation. Soon we picked up his ashes. It's hard to believe that he's gone. It's amazing how quickly life flashes. The next day we held a celebration of life At my father's favorite restaurant. It was a beautiful send off. I know it's everything he would want. I have to say thank you to Kent. He was gentle in handling our grief. Having dad well taken care of Provided us all with much relief.

We worked up an appetite walking the grounds of the Decatur Cemetery, using one of their printed…read moreguides to find the interesting residents here. We did notice four different errors in the guide, so there's that. The Decatur Cemetery is the oldest known publicly owned burial ground in metro Atlanta, believed to predate the city's 1823 incorporation. Rich and poor, free and slave, and yes, quite a few CSA soldiers laid to rest here. Most of the walkways are easily walkable but some are not. If you're mobility challenged, there is still quite a lot that is accessible. Military veterans, legislators, congressmen, authors and judges. Even one of the delegates to the Secession Convention. This is well worth your time to visit. Please be respectful as this is an active cemetery and there are people here encountering their own personal losses.

You can drive your car in and park to the side of the road, considerately. I rode my bike through the paths which was peaceful. It's also a nice place to watch the sun set. There's a few geocaches here if you're into that. Obviously, there's super old historical graves as well. Anyway, if you like Oakland Cemetery, you should check the Decatur Cemetery out.

Planning the funeral of our beloved mother, Lorna Yvonne King, from overseas was not easy -- but your team made every single step feel manageable, respectful, and personal. From all the phone calls you took from abroad, to your willingness to listen, guide, and gently support us, you made us feel like more than clients -- you made us feel like family. To Mr. Donzell Hennigan -- your leadership, compassion, and incredible attention to detail turned a difficult day into something beautiful. You brought calm where there was grief, and excellence where there could have been overwhelm. Your heart made all the difference. To Veronica -- thank you for your warmth, your patience, and the many calls and messages you responded to with kindness. You were a key part of making things run smoothly, and your presence truly mattered. And to every member of your team -- from those we met to those behind the scenes -- thank you for your grace, your coordination, your care with every flower, every arrangement, every movement.

I hope that no one would need to use this service because it means you are losing a love one; however, if you need these services don't hesitate in coming to hM Patterson as they will give you, your lost one and anyone who needs to grieve a space that is clean, comfortable and caring to grieve and say farewell

But they made the process simple and easy. And they showed my wife and I and our baby girl the utmost care, attention, and respect. I was pleasantly surprised by how much care they took to honoring our girl. When it came to the memorial, they helped us so much make this whole experience not only bearable, but also helped really honor our baby in a way that she deserved. Brian and team, thank you. Thank you for everything you did for us--our family.

I don't think the process could of gone any better with them. Honestly they were a very bright spot in this whole process. You definitely want them on your team. Trust me. I'm sorry for your loss.

I am so very disappointed in Don Trimble Funeral Home. I considered it to be a staple of the…read morecommunity and has serviced our families needs on several occasions. I had a loved one remains sent there and used a policy to make the final arrangements. After making some adjustments to my bill, it appears the bill for the higher amount was submitted to the insurance company resulting in an overpayment of 2115.00. I have made every attempt to get them to rectify this oversight simply to be told we are still waiting. It is now Nov 18th, the funeral was three months ago. Be sure to check your paperwork. If I had not been diligent in making sure the numbers were right, I never would have known, and I doubt they would have mentioned this.

Having never been to a funeral before I was of no use to her "Thankfully" friends and Fairview were able to walk her through the steps needed to make decisions. I was told that the staff would be accommodating for this service and it's traditions, it was a bit out of the norm with a few hundred people attending coming from far and wide to pay their respects. I felt the need to go and visit the other day for the first time since the funeral and not remembering exactly where he was placed that day had to go to the office and have him located. The office manager and I spoke and was able to find the name but no information, the account was apparently in the "executors" name which I did not have so we had to do try and figure it out for a few minutes. She was patient and I was confused, then it "clicked" she remembered which funeral it was she "had attended it that particular day" and even drove me to the sight herself. After speaking for a few minutes she offered to pick me up and bring me back to the office when I was done but chose to walk instead and then she turned and gave me an unexpected hug before she left. The grounds are clean, appear to be well kept and there is a Methodist church within walking distance.

I'm writing this review because this doesn't make sense for them to keep doing this not to mention Mr Calvin so no respect for us last time it started out good but he showed his true colors as Time passed by and to make matters worse he has staff members I've been going around gossiping and slandering us.
