My wife of 50 years passed away 3 years ago. Last year I went with my daughter to look at sites to…read morehouse our cremations. Sheila was very nice and showed us around and spent a lot of time. I settles on a glassed in site in the crematorium. Afterwards, I realized that the price covered a small case, since when we looked at another Dignity site, the price was for a bigger spot. After a year, I decided I wanted a larger spot or a spot outside. When I was shown my options, everything was basically DOUBLED! For the slightly larger site now, since they already had my money and a contract, now there were no discounts. And the 5 year interest free payments now had an interest. To inter both of us- AT THE SAME TIME, instead of the $75, I was given before, now it was half the cost of one interment. When we were there the first time, I said to my daughter, it was like buying a car- she kept going to her "manager" to get us a better deal. This time, since I was locked in, no discounts. It's bad enough having to live through my wife's death, but to be treated like I was buying a used car was unforgivable. Finally, yesterday, I received an advertisement- TO MY WIFE! It's bad enough getting stuff from the usual junk mail, but getting an addressed to my dead wife was inappropriate and hurtful. If you go there, I would recommend not making any decision on your first visit. Once they've got you, you are done for.

May you never require their services, but should you face the death of a loved one I highly recommend HM Patterson. They are simply the best.

However I am so appreciative of the folks over at Mayes Ward-Dobbins that I just had to write a review, so that others can see the wonderful services they provide. James and the whole team from Mayes Ward worked with our family through the entire end of life process. From the planning stages into the actual viewing/funeral/burial once my father-in-law passed away, they were right by our sides, providing excellent guidance and support. Their facility on Church Street is modern but tasteful, and provides ample room for even large scale visitations and funerals, such as ours. The staff worked closely with us to take care of all the little things, such as easels for pictures, TV hookups for a slideshow, and water and mints for... well, you can guess how we were feeling after several hours of up close and personal chatting with friends and relatives. My points of reference for end of life services are limited to when my grandparents passed away last year, however when I compare the experiences I cannot help but feel blessed that we were able to work with Mayes Ward-Dobbins for my father-in-law. They are kind but thorough, gentle but competent. My condolences go to anyone who is in need of funeral services, however if you are in that situation, Mayes Ward-Dobbins is a wonderful and compassionate place to go for the next phase.

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.
