I am the executor of her estate, so, therefore, I have been handling her final affairs. Myers Mortuary and Cremation Services retrieved my grandmother's remains on August 30, 2021, and I completed the death certificate worksheet on September 3, 2021. Shortly thereafter, a payment was rendered to the funeral home for cremation. I reached out to the funeral home every week for a status update on my grandmother's final disposition. On September 15, 2021, a staff member from the facility informed me that the death certificate worksheet had to be hand-delivered, and due to Covid, there have been extreme delays with cremations and Vital Statistics. On September 30, 2021, after not getting any real answers from the staff at the funeral home, I decided to contact Novant Healthcare. The Hospice coordinator informed me that a staff member from the funeral home dropped off the death certificate worksheet on September 23, 2021. The Hospice coordinator also informed me that the signed death certificate was not picked up until September 29, 2021. To add further insult to injury, my grandmothers remains were not cremated until October 11, 2021. This is completely unacceptable and has caused immense emotional distress.

God bless you Leverette, Sandy, Tecorrie and the Leevy's Staff:…read more I just want to take this time to thank you for the awesome services you rendered regarding my deceased sister. Below are some of the comments we received from those that went to her viewing: Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful; so gorgeous; they did an awesome job; they did a FANTASTIC job; great job; great embalming outcome where she resembled herself (the person said they've seen embalming outcomes where that was not the case). And to that my husband and I would like to add the following: To Leverette, we appreciate your professionalism, pleasant spirit, compassion and integrity. Don't change. To Ms. Sandy... (I call her Mama Sandy) ... you were a blessing to us from the beginning to the end...we love your lively personality! Tecorrie, you did an awesome job with the program. We didn't have a picture of my sister by herself and the way you cropped her out of what we gave you was absolutely great! Keep going forth in excellence! Also, I don't know the name of everybody that was involved with my sister's presentation, but her make-up was done beautifully...just the way we asked (very natural, because she didn't wear make-up). Thank you for sticking to our description of her. In addition to that, allowing her hands to be shown while holding the gloves was absolutely a great touch. And of course, we can't leave out our driver (the Assistant Pastor). Thank you so much for your pleasant spirit. Talking with you during the ride was great. Also, thank you to the two pleasant ladies at the front desk. They were very helpful. And also, thank you for the gentle spirit of the gentlemen who came to the house to pick up my sister's body. You were greatly appreciated. In closing, may God bless all of you (even those I may have not mentioned specifically) ... I pray God's continued blessings upon your ministry (because that's what it is)! Thank you again... Peggy and Robert

I am writing this with a heavy heart and deep disappointment after the experience my family had…read morewith Leevy Funeral Home during the passing of my son. While grief is never easy, we expected compassion, professionalism, and respect from a place entrusted with our loved one's final arrangements. Unfortunately, that was not the case--especially due to one staff member in particular: Sandy. Her behavior was not just unkind--it was completely disrespectful and out of line. At one point, after the funeral home had spent an entire day trying to reach my son's estranged wife for final payment with no response, they decided to contact a close family member instead. That family member stepped up and paid the remaining balance that same day so that the services could move forward. However, when that same family member returned the next day with a simple question, they were met with hostility. Sandy began yelling at them in front of grieving family and friends who had come to pay their respects. It was shocking and completely inappropriate. Hoping to defuse the situation, my family member pulled Sally aside to calmly explain things--but even in private, Sandy continued to be dismissive and unhelpful. What made things even worse was that although we had paid for seven copies of the death certificate--three for the estranged wife and the remaining four for our family to handle the necessary affairs--Sandy flat-out refused to provide any information. She said she would only speak to the wife and that any questions would have to go through her, despite the fact that our family member was the one who had paid and had been handling everything. So it was acceptable to communicate when payment was needed--but suddenly "against state law" when it came to answering questions or offering assistance? This level of disrespect during such a vulnerable and emotional time is absolutely unacceptable. One bad apple truly can ruin the entire experience, and Sally certainly did. We are grateful for the few staff who tried to help, but the damage done by her behavior is lasting. We will never use Leevy Funeral Home again and would recommend they provide sensitivity training to staff on how to deal with grieving family members. No family should be subjected to this kind of treatment while mourning the loss of a loved one. S. Purvis

Although seeing my brother laid out in the chapel was difficult, Thompsons handled his presentation with great care and consideration. It was a meaningful setting and atmosphere as we stood around my brother, saying our final farewells. The service at Woodbridge Memorial Park was very nice. From the presentation of the casket to the set up of the chairs (and even chilled water bottles for the guests), every detail was considered. I greatly appreciate their professionalism and attention to detai. I particularly appreciate their compassion and kindness when having to make difficult practical choices during a challenging time in one's life.

They do send generic therapeutic groups or something not applicable. I have never heard of Gina and Am not sure why she would be the one to reply. In the first week after a passing, what happens is extremely important. You can't take the problem back months later. The person is gone. There is not really a second chance to bury someone quickly and prepare the correct obituary. Once an obit has been published refractions are rarely noticed. I will just offer as long as this group has been in business these mistakes should not have happened and my father's memory forever marred with unnecessary distractions. If anyone would like very specific unforgettable mistakes Thompsons made you are welcome to contact me. I stand by when you go to meet with a funeral home. Record your conversations. I suggested this to them too. My father deserved much better. It's too easy to listen to the families wishes and every time a mistake was made they passed the arrangements off to a new person just like having a person I have never met respond to this review. They witnessed everyone in my family tell me to handle it then they continued to communicate and send paperwork to others. The paperwork signed by my family clearly stated...speak with one person, me. The very lame response just hurt all over again.

Southland Memorial Gardens has handles multiple family members of mines burial and funeral services. Actually as early as 1974 and as recent as my father on 11/8/15 and mother 9/22/16. I am having a pretty big surgery 2/11/19. I went this week to get my plots and to put the final touches on some final planning. Natasha helped me when my parents passed. I was completely shut down as most people could expect when you lose your parents tragically. She was able to help me handle some final arrangements, but most of all, she was more than just compassionate. She is gifted in knowing what to say when you can speak. She is able to help you express your wishes with a dignity that is hard to explain. She helped me design my mothers headstone. She was able to tell that I wasn't comfortable with the standard "Beloved, Wife, Mother and Grandmother". Those words did not describe my mother. Because she was my Mama. It didn't describe my sons grandmother, because she was their Maw Maw. She loved roses and butterflies. I sat their basically in a shell and these things were going on in my head and I had no way to express them, other than, "that's not her". I must have mumbled it. Natasha immediately and kindly said, let's make it her. So we talked, she would write things down, and before long she had designed the perfect headstone. The one that was in my mind, that I. Couldn't articulate. She is very intuitive to the needs of the family that comes in. No matter what it takes, when you leave, you feel like she was a part of your family. On the hardest day of your life , when the hardest decisions has to be made, she some how sees right into your heart and is able to articulate in design and words your thoughts. Again, as I am working on my final arrangements to keep my children and husband from having to sit in that chair and guess at what I may want. Instead I have a booklet that Southland offers that spells every thing out. Natasha is a young woman with an old soul. She has a very nurturing and spiritual quality about her that sets you immediately at ease. I am an Estate Planner, I do Wills and Power of Attorneys and Health Care POAs to prepare family for the end of life wishes and expectations. But, Natasha and Southland, they take it to a whole new level with the first moments you meet her and their team to the last moment that I'm sure usually ends with a heart felt hug and a reminder that you're not alone. I don't know how she does it daily. See death, deal with grieving families, but she does and she makes certain that YOU and what YOU need are her priority. She is a calming spirit in what is a storm of emotional waves. She is glue when you feel all else has fallen apart. She helps to give you and your family the closure you need to say goodbye in a dignified way. She is a gentle spirit that God has truly touched with a gift of giving families comfort and the calm you need in knowing your family member is still being cared for. More importantly, that you're not alone.
