They told me they were remodeling and the smell was from mold. It would be gone b4 the service for our beloved Gary. We had to go down there several getting paperwork right for victim assistance program. React time I went to visit the funeral home it as worse and worse. I mean I've worked at trauma hospitals and I've smelled death before and the smell was definitely that of decaying humans. There is like 4 different funeral Homes run out of this place. When we did a family visitation our loved one's body was in bad shape. When I felt around him I realized that there he had ice packed all around him and his body was decaying. Also I was unhappy about all the thinking I had to do as far as the package. Nothing was explained about prayer cards, guest book , and when I remembered not talking about these little but important things the owner or supervisor never explained any of this to us so when I remembered it was a scramble nearing the big day to pick out these items and the obituary and they got the flower order all wrong as well. What a bad experience at a very difficult time when we counted in the professionals to help us make sure all the little items that we needed were included I wasn't concerned so uuuuy

I do not recommend this place to anyone. I contacted this place after my fiance passed away, after…read morespeaking with the receptionist who was very nice and pleasant and easy to talk to, I decided to go with Sterling & Smith. I regret it. I had quite a few appointments with them. The first one was just to get pricing in which my case manager hadn't even gaven me her name to refer back to her. The second appointment with zoey, no one told me I needed to bring in any documents. No one told me anything about what to bring . We sat down and talked about the prices and services. She spelled my fiance's name wrong in which I corrected her. I actually respelled it out for her 2x and I thought she had corrected it. She was very pleased and seemed sympathetic to my loss. This was the first time ever dealing with anything of this sort. The short viewing for close family members went fine. Except they never contacted me to tell me when his body got there, or to schedule the viewing- I called them each time. But when it came time to planning the memorial that's where everything went bad. Zoey had spelled my fiance's name wrong on the death certificate even after correcting her the first time and respelling it 2x the first time. Before our scheduled appointment to go over memorial details, I gave her his birth certificate and she was trying to downplay her error as something minor. Anyhow, she had no office to talk to me in, so we went into someone's office until they showed up, interrupting her presentation and throwing her off guard. So we can shuffled to the next room. In that room I'm looking at a prayer book as she escorts herself out of the room, she leaves the door open. As I'm having a hard time finding a prayer that I like, there's people about 3 ft away in the hallway just staring into the room that I'm in and it got so loud, I finally close the door. After not having a table to hold the flimsy book, I find the prayer that I like and that's when Zoe told me I went too far and I was only supposed to pick from the first 20 pages. There were like 60 pages to choose from. Theyre book of selections had things that they weren't even using anymore. She didn't even know why they were still in the book. Because of all the noise, I couldn't concentrate so I said I would schedule another appointment at at time when they weren' so busy. My appointment was at 10am. I called later around 4ish to cancel the memorial services and I wanted my money back after paying her in cash that morning. She said they had already taken the money to the bank and they would write me a check for it. Everytime, dealing with Zoey, I have had to reach out to them- because this place doesn't call you back. Now I find out, that my money is in Bakersfield with a "private accountant" and that my money will be mailed to me. No one- including the manager of sterling and smith will even give me this "private accountants" name to verify this is even true and now to fix the death certificate it will take even longer to fix it because Zoey has to go to my fiances doctor to correct the error. Why would she need to go to the doctor to fix something in which I gave her the birth certificate for. The manager of sterling and smith isnt even mentioned in the website. They also falsely advertise. In their website- they say they help with personalizations at memorial services. But when the issue came up, Zoey said they don't provide them. I just want to be done with this place. As it is, I took them 3 necklaces to be filled, 1 necklace could not be filed due to 3 people trying to open it and couldn't, or they couldn't close the necklace the correct way without stripping the screw. These necklaces were ordered on Amazon and we're custom made, so now I have to take it back. I just want to be done with this place. Everyone here was nice and pleasant, but I think if they had more funeral directors, and a bigger office, maybe Zoey could have done a better job. She maybe overloaded with work- but this is a job a person can't mess up with. This has been my worst experience ever

Went to Chapel of the light because it was highly recommended by a family member. Upon arrival…read morethere, we were met with a "surprised" look on the gentleman's face at the front desk. We let him know that we were there to make arrangements for my uncle who had passed a couple of days before. He asked if we had an appointment and we informed him that we were told by the receptionist who answered the phone that walk-ins were ok, he informed us that that was incorrect but he would try to locate someone who could meet with us. The gentleman then called to the back to verify if someone was available to help us. After waiting in an overly warm, gnat and mosquito laden waiting area for more than 30 minutes, we were escorted to the back office by Matt. Matt was condescending, rude and spoke to us as if we didn't understand what he was saying and couldn't afford the services he was offering. He kept looking at his watch as if we were wasting his time. At which point, I started gathering my things to leave because I will not stand for someone treating me as if we don't belong there. I stopped listening to him after a couple of minutes but gave my family member time to ask questions and to find out more. The absolute second we left out of the building we both looked at each other and decided we were never coming back because of overall feeling of not feeling welcome by any staff we encountered that day and Matt, is the absolute nail in the coffin for us deciding never returning there again!

Well here we are, tomorrow it will be 5 weeks since they came to pick him up! When I questioned where his ashes were they said at the crematory but someone there has been sick for the past couple of days. My gosh does the crematory only have one employee????? I'm actually being very nice writing this review, especially when I'm so upset and pissed off. Let me tell you I jumped the gun on this review! Clovis Funeral Chapel absolutely 100% made it right. It was the crematoriums fault that they use (d). The crematorium does have ONLY one employee and one machine. Clovis Funeral Chapel was extremely dissatisfied with the service that the crematorium and how they fell behind, that's why it took so long. Clovis Funeral Chapel gave me a partial refund because they genuinely felt horrible about this whole situation. I'm so thrilled that they got my husbands ashes to me today.

I have been visiting Sanger cemetery with my mom and relatives since I was a little girl. Almost…read moreall of my family is buried there. It always looks beautiful and has such a peaceful feeling out in the country, with all the tree roses, the huge old trees, and peacocks and roosters crowing in the background. Always clean and well maintained. I always make it a point to drop into the office and let Teri know how beautiful everything looks and to please pass on my compliments to the employees. Recently we buried my mom. We had her service at the funeral home and just a direct, private burial at the cemetery with only my brother and I attending. Two of the cemetery employees helped the two Farewell Funeral Home employees carry my mother to her burial site. They were so respectful, standing with their heads bowed and hands crossed and I was pretty overcome with emotion to have the help of these two cemetery workers carry my mom to her final resting place. The preparation and condition of the site was immaculate and so orderly. I recently attended a graveside service at a cemetery in Fresno that I will not name. The grounds were dangerous with gopher mounds and holes and massive tree roots. The grave site preparation was dangerous in my opinion and unsafe for people to be walking around. An elderly man tripped and fell on a rope tying down a tent and could have been seriously injured. There was no comparison in the dignity with which my mother's casket was taken to her gravesite compared to the bouncing precarious dragging of a trolley with the casket at the other service. Employees are always friendly when I am out putting out flowers or polishing up headstones of family members. I always look forward to visiting there. Teri who runs the office is always friendly and was so compassionate when I was feeling my saddest. I always like to give credit where credit is due and the employees at the Sanger Cemetery certainly deserve credit for a job well done!

The groundskeepers make sure the place is nice looking and for every Patriotic holiday the ROTC from Selma High School flood the cemetery with American Flags. It really is a beautiful thing. Now like all things this cemetery does have one BIG flaw; It's not fenced. With this flaw comes vandalism, thievery, trespassing and just plain out no respect for the non living. Items get stolen every single day from peoples graves and trash is left everywhere after the Independence Day firework show. People will sit on the lawn by their loved ones and plot out a bbq pit and a couple of brews. I personally think it's tacky but other don't agree. Don't get me wrong. I've taken a sandwich or a burrito and sat there with my dad while eating just enjoying the day, but I clean up after myself. Some people also like to treat this place as a gym. It's paved so people will jog/ walk here every day until it gets dark. A fence would help, but sadly nothing has been done about this issue. ::end rant::
