Every call was compassionately handled and her assistance with the service was so appreciated. Oak Grove was a mess when we laid our mother to rest in 2013, and while there is still a lot of work to do, the new owners have made great improvements to the chapel and grounds.

I will assume that Beverly Granberry is settled in on a certain financial demographic of customers which explains her defensiveness with anyone deemed challenging. I understand death is a for profit business but unfortunately customer service has been sacrificed as well, starting at the top! At this time, I cannot recommend this business because of the more than likely compromise of peace at some point in the transaction! SMH!

I can not say enough kind things about Granberry, Mr. Poe, and the rest of the staff. From the time…read moreI entered the doors I received a very sympathetic, warm, loving reception. My family had our mother's body transferred from another funeral home that we were unsatisfied with as Granberry came highly recommended. The staff at Granberry picked up where they left off and completely exceeded our expectations. I must admit that due to the untimely (Christmas week) and unexpected passing of my mother things and details on our parts were sometimes a tad hectic, late, and disordered. However the kindness, patience, and understanding that they afforded was unparalleled. Time was of the essence as my mother NEVER wished to have her body out for an extended period of time. Mr. Poe and his staff made it happen without a flinch. (Even Mr. Poe sacrificing his birthday to take care of our arrangements) :-) It is extremely difficult to lose a loved one; regardless of timing or circumstance. However when you are working with such kind and efficient professionals of their caliber it makes your existing sorrow and challenges easier to bear. To them they are just doing a job well done but to us in bereavement it is a rainbow among our storm. On behalf of Thomas family we offer a million thanks and praises. May the Good Lord bless you all beyond measure.

Writing a review for a funeral home is odd but needs to be done. It's unfortunate that I have this…read moreopportunity to rate it, but people deserve to see an opinion on here about it. However, my mother helped coordinate a lot of the food for the refreshments after the visitation which warrants this review. This Funeral home is located right by Lambert International. It's in a run down part of town. The building itself isn't that big, the size of a small church. It is located off a busy street (Natural Bridge). The interior is pretty basic but elegant. There is a small sized chapel, where services can be conducted. It has a homey feel and is ideal for direct family, close friends etc. there is a visitation area where the casket lays and plenty of room to move across the room and talk to loved ones. There is also an atrium with tables for refreshments and what not. The rules were a little strict on coolers and people had to go to the small nook area and grab a water from the fridge which was a little inconvenient. The service from the employees came off as very professional. You can tell they care about what they do and what the families want. They were very gracious and flexible with everything. Overall this is a good small and inexpensive place to have a funeral at. It's always sad talking about these things, but I do recommend it. Thanks for reading...

PREFACE: I plan to update as my experience unfolds, but as…read moreof now, this For-Profit is not honoring a 60 year old "Immediate Need" contract my grandmother took out for 2 plots in 1965. She purchased one for my Veteran grandfather and another for my herself -- both Paid In Full! Years ago my mother left me a box to open upon learning of her death, which was this, 2025. MY BACKSTORY: Grandmother purchased the plots 1965. She died in CA, 9.21.2001 leaving my mother next inline as the "Assignment of Interment Rights" holder. My Mother died in CA, 12.24.22. May 2025, I learned of her death and received her ashes from the L.A. Cemetery and Crematory in Boyle Heights, CA. If I hadn't, she would have been buried in a Mass Grave of the Unclaimed. In her box were copies of documents from 2001 where Valhalla Management, Mr Zell, nicely confirmed that upon my mother's death, I, her only child, would be next inline as "Assignment of Interment Rights" holder. Not having a public email nor an 800 number, makes it costly for out-of-state family. The only way I was able to get in touch with Valhalla was a DM/PM on facebook. May 2025 I reached out and staff named Nick, EVENTUALLY, replied asking me to email documents for him to look at. So, I sorted through Moms box once more to make sure no documents were overlooked. Early July 2025, 2 emails with various PDFs were sent. Late July no response. I did a followup DM/PM on facebook, that too, was ignored. (You can tell when someone read a DM) CURRENTLY JULY 2025: Once they are satisfied I am who I am, the challenge for me is to decide which of 3 CREMATED family members should be interned at Valhalla. They are: my Grandmother, my Grandfathers famous sister, or my mother. I would LOVE to place all 3 there, and give accolades if that is possible. As of this writing, I can't say because no one has replied to my correspondence. Just days ago I left a short Follow-Up DM/PM regarding my emails. Nada. CONCERN: Will or will they not honor a Contract that has been satisfied monetarily? Whether it be of my doing, or other family members with more tenacity, will they step up? It would be great for this to workout the way my grandmother envisioned! I would love have them handle my mothers Obituary Notice as well. Let's hope! As I stated, I will update as this unfolds. Really shouldn't be this way, but, here we are.

It's difficult to talk about 28 years of friendship in 3-5 minutes. I knew Linda before she and Marvin were married. My husband, John, stood up for Marvin at their wedding in their house. It was so beautiful. And our daughters were friends. So, thank you, Lupton Chapel, for your honor and respect to Linda and her family and friends.
