A bit odd to review a funeral home because one doesn't necessarily frequent these places but having…read morehad the experience I would say the staff were very considerate, and did all the "little" things well. They went over and above in a couple of circumstances which helped a lot with what we wanted in terms of the service. We did not price shop or go to other places as this was the most convenient funeral home for us and we had been there previously for a service. We dealt with a number of personnel in getting the service set up and they were all very professional and accommodating and service delivery was seamless despite the number of people who we dealt with. There's likely a reason why this place has been around for so long. They know what they're doing.

Ok, so not going for funny points on this one…read more.. Overall Cardinal did a good job. I don't have a lot of funeral planning experience (thankfully) but my sense is that it is impossible to walk away not feeling nickel-and-dimed. They have a detailed price list, so I don't feel like there was price inflation and there was no haggling but there is a charge for everything single thing they can think of to charge for and it adds up quickly. Our funeral director met with us for about 45 minutes and he seemed a little nervous, so I'm thinking he was new. He had to duck out several times to get samples of things (e.g. urns) that I felt like he could have had ready to go in the meeting room. But he got things done and we walked away with our questions answered. The funeral director at the funeral was lovely and I think she was tearing up a bit. Kind of nice that she wasn't the stereotypical, stoic, seen-this-a-million-times personality one might expect. I like that they are independently owned and not part of a chain or conglomerate. If you're going to shell out all that money under duress and with no other option at least it's staying local.
