His headstone was placed earlier than expected and it is engraved with a personal message I was able to create. The grounds are expertly groomed year round and it is a beautiful place to visit. This benefit to our veterans and spouses is very special and I am grateful that my husband served so that we could be placed in such beautiful surroundings. The cemetery is open from dawn to dusk everyday despite their posted main office hours.

They have perpetual care and they follow through in informing loved ones when items will be removed if you want to retrieve. The staff are ALWAYS working hard and caring for the grounds. Once I got there a little late one cold winter evening and was a little afraid to be out there alone as might was approaching and one of the groundsmen must have sensed it, came and helped me clean the leaves, got back on his tractor and he stayed until I finished all 3 graves. Never said a word but hello. I will always remember that and thank him. The Consulting staff are VERY compassion- ate, comforting, patient and helpful. Provides guidance when needed when the family is lost in making rational decisions, never pushy, explains everything. If you have a problem with headstones ir any issues, they get right on it. We are very happy our loved ones are with St. Peters. Thank you all.

I was waiting to write a review for Chapel Hill Mortuary until a grave marker was in place, but…read morefeel it's important to get this out now as our journey has lasted a while. Note that we are from out of state, and worked with Chapel Hill through occasional visits, and email. First, our initial consultation with Bryan (not the owner) to plan our step son's death and burial, when he was a ward of the State of Missouri and before he was seriously ill, went very well. Bryan met us in our needs, was very forthcoming with options and costs, as well as some of the hurdles we will need to be aware of. He helped us choose the best services for an undefined future, and be sure that he would be provided for with his unique financial situation. This was several years ago. Last year, in June of 2016, Sean passed away from cancer. Initially, the process seemed to go well, and Bryan covered our budget options, given what we went over during our initial consultations. We had hoped he and Chapel Hill understood our very simple needs and tight financial constraints. Chapel Hill did a fantastic job of opening their beautiful facility to Sean's program friends and the many caregivers who came to share stories and celebrate Sean's life. The grounds are very comforting and peaceful, and the parlor room offered just what we needed to host many wheelchairs and another 30+ rotating guests for a few hours. Our challenge came when, after the initial service, we started looking at the remainder of the budget. Some items were missed, and we had to make some (legal) adjustments. However, that we had room to wiggle because a more expensive stone was used speaks to not completely understanding our initial request, and per Sean's wishes, that things be kept simple. The irony is that, had the correct material for the marker been used, we wouldn't have had money to use to get it into place! Per my earlier statement, it has been over a year, and the grave marker is still not in place, and we still don't have a promise date! Brian May, the owner, is one of the nicest, and most caring individuals, as is Bryan, one of the employees with whom we worked most closely. Other staff seems somewhat detached, but functional. Advice: The grounds are beautiful, and make for a welcoming place to visit a loved one's remains, but beware the budgeting process! Be sure you have everything in writing and understand what each item is for BEFORE you or your loved one dies! Also, check everything twice before monies are dispersed! The time of loss is for mourning and remembrances, not for heavy duty legal accounting and scrambling because monies were mis-directed. To their credit, they promised to do what is right and close Sean's physical burial so we can freely and joyfully remember his life. We are still waiting for the maker, however...

Most recently as soon as we learned of my great- aunt's passing, I went up to the home to get boards to make her memorial photo boards and they were ready immediately. This Cave Springs location is beautiful and is fully staffed to direct visitors to the correct room. There is also ample space for refreshments in a place where family can go to decompress and children can feel more comfortable away from the main viewing room. Today we were there to attend the wake of a neighbor. Not only does my family trust Baue, but most of my friends and acquaintances also choose them as well. Sadly, I have been here more times than I can count in addition to their location on Kings Highway in Saint Charles. Can it be expensive? Yes, but you get what you pay for. I highly recommend.

And my dad was a normal size man. 6'3 and 200 lbs, they come 3 hours later while we have to see my dad just lie there dead and sent two ladies under 5'5 who weight nothing. They had to get the police to help, who were grown me . Then their EV van breaks down in my driveway, where my dead father sits. They call us later and arrange times for us to meet and tell me we will meet with Jennifer. We come and it's a man named Andrew who did everything he could to make us spend a ton of money even though I told him what my dad told us he wanted. Andrew had us sit there for hours waiting on him to make all these statements of different ways to get more money from us. We never met Jennifer. We ordered two death certificates, we had to pay for them and we were told we would get them when the doctor signed off. They sent one to the I srua ne company without telling us, asking us or even allowing us to make a copy and send it. The life insurance paperwork stated a copy would suffice but Baue took it upon their selves to sent it. When they finally cremated my dad 3 weeks later because they claimed the doctor didn't sign off, they refuse to tell me when we could get their ashes. They had me driving from one building to another ad. Gave us an assistant. This little assistant lady kept telling us she was not comfortable telling us when we could get their ashes and they will call me when they can. I had to give my name 43 times and number because they couldn't tell me anything ever. That's all I was ever told. And they gave me emails that were wrong when I was sick as hell, they made this whole process horrid. And after I got my father's ashes they sent me a coupon for 600 off for someone in my family if we plan in 6 months how disgusting is this place. And the coupon only works if we choose to have the ceremony there.

My mom, Mary Rita Langston, had her service at the Jefferson location recently. Her first name was…read moreMary Rita, not Mary. She never went by Mary. I explained this so they did not think Rita was her middle name. During the planning meeting with the funeral director, I stated this. Also, she did not like flowers so I asked that her obit stated no flowers please. We wrote obit at meeting & I signed it. They posted the obit with the name Mary under her photo & a link to send flowers. I called upset & it was corrected. At her service the signage said Mary & even the ashes I took home had Mary listed on the bag. The worst part when when I viewed her prior to cremation. They mentioned she would be in the hospital gown she was wearing in the hospital. I also said she doesn't wear makeup so please don't apply any when I see her. They had the photo I provided for obit. They put heavy foundation, rouge & dark lipstick on her. Most upsetting was they had her in, what appeared to be a push up bra. They made her breasts look like cones very high on her chest. She was 81 years old. No one arriving from the hospital morgue after suffering a heart attack is wearing a push up bra under the hospital gown. Why would they do this? I posted a review on their website & they took it down. Don't trust your loved one with a company that can't even get their name correct despite multiple reminders.
