Terry, don't lecture your clients like they're stupid. If you would speak up and audibly articulate your questions, you wouldn't be asked to repeat the questions so many times. Also we felt rushed at the actual funeral service. Don't operate your funeral services like you're trying to turn over tables and booths in a busy restaurant. Being asked to physically leave the funeral site 16 minutes after the conclusion of the service was rude and unacceptable. If you're that tightly packed with your alleged schedule, then perhaps you need to revisit your scheduling policies. All in all, the whole thing was a nasty experience, From our first meeting to discuss arrangements, all the way through the service. I cannot recommend this business at all. They used to have a sterling reputation in Columbus. Since selling out to a huge corporation (Dignity) I am learning of frequent dissatisfaction with Striffler Hamby.

I'm a recent college grad with no credit. I offered to show proof and references of rent, utilities, etc. that were always paid on time but they still said no.

Oh well, let's just say I was not impressed with their "dedication to do all we can for the bereaved and help them cope with the loss of a loved one by providing a professional, caring, understanding and compassionate response to their needs.

Apparently, GA law trumps the contract McMullen sells and they don't bother to tell you this when you are paying in FULL for YOUR OWN FUNERAL. So their contract is misleading and meaningless, and they will not honor it. They also provide nonchalant and callous explanations to grieving loved ones who are naturally upset that the preplanned and paid in full funeral that they witnessed the deceased arrange is changed AFTER a meeting where all agreed, and no notice was sent about the change. They even go to the extent of saying, oh you'd be surprised how many people we make mad...like it's some badge of honor or humble brag.

They have repeatedly failed to secure a monument that fell over due to the creek washing out the area behind my families plot. They simply put rip rap rock where the creek eroded the wall and did not actually fixed the problem, in fact its starting to fall over again.

Spoke with them again today and still have the same "Ill have it fixed and taken care of tomorrow, told him, the "General Manager" cant do tomorrow were burying my Brother? They did offer to move the family plot but to locations that did not fit the needs that my Parents selected. Just in case some one may wonder its an "act of God" doesn't apply folks, they knew the creek was there, they knew about erosion, they knew that selling a plot at a curve at a creek is a focal point of erosion, especially in severe weather. They want to move the monument forward a few feet which will place the monument over the heads of my family and is not what was agreed upon! A total lack of respect of the deceased and their family! Dignity should start with the perpetual care of a families plot!

I spoke with the office and was told by the person that she was in shock and would have to talk to maintenance about it!! My question is who at Dignity holds maintenance accountable? Do they ever just walk the cemetery to make sure they are doing their job or do they just assume it's getting done?? How do I find out why DIGNITY is NOT showing our love ones much DIGNITY?

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!…read more My loved one was laid to rest by this company. Being out of state I sent a condolence letter not knowing that I was speaking to the owner and the experience was less than professional. I had emailed (using the email provided on the website) a soft copy of the condolence letter and had not received a confirmation email as requested so I was left to call. When I called I was informed that the person on the other line (representing this company/funeral home) was at church as was I and that she would contact me later. I had to ask if I could give her my contact information so that she could call me back. As I did so I went to ask a question and was hung up on. I had to call again as I myself was now attending my second church service to confirm receipt as I NEVER received a call back as promised. As the same lady who sounded as though she was now eating/chewing on something responded that she had received the letter and would read the condolence at the funeral service and was immediately followed with another instant hang up. I called today to speak with a supervisor or manager as with the company advertising to be available 24 hours was met with "I am at church right now" to say the least, which was very unprofessional and not any of my business or concern and would hopefully be explained in a more professional manner. I have done this for many years and this is the second most unprofessional business I have encountered. So as I called today to express my experience ...I asked immediately for a manger or supervisor (note: the woman that answered the phone did not provide her name) she asked what was the name of the person I spoke with yesterday and why was I calling. I stated yet again that I needed to speak with the manger or supervisor and was met with "well I need to know what this is about" and who you spoke with. I stated just as you didn't provide your name the woman that I spoke with yesterday (that sounded like an older woman) didn't provide her name either so I didn't know. I then had to ask her name (the one on the phone), Katherine. She then asked me if I knew the name of the person I wrote the condolence letter for (who asks such a question?). Why would I be confused or not know the name of the deceased (in which is my relative as I had informed both women). I told the woman on the phone that the experience with her was not great either and mentioned if this was their (business) culture is was terrible. This same lady apologized for the other lady's behavior and went to explain that b/c it is a 24 hour service she could've been at a church service (apologize for someone else not herself and then explain to justify the experience---please stop!). She then asked for me my contact info and then hug up as well (again...same business culture--not surprised). I then received a call from a woman who said her name was Sharon, and that she was the one that I spoke with on yesterday also that the condolence letter was read at the service. I asked if she was the owner and she said, "yes". Appalled that she was the owner I told her that I would proceed further as I thought surely there was someone else that was the owner and not the one that presented such behavior (no need to speak with the very person who had the TERRIBLY UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR).

He brought me a chair because I would stand out there visiting My Momma gravesite for hours....everyday. There was about 5 gravesites near My Momma's that had sunk in from the rain. They finally fixed those gravesites after I had to bring it to their attention. I have been calling the office staff and talking to one of the groundsmen about the cemetery not being taken care of. I met a man who was visiting his son's gravesite and we talked. He told me that the Mr. Remrick had passed and he was allowing the groundsmen to use his lawn mowers and sometimes he would cut the grass because Evergreens' lawn mowers were not working. He told me to call and report it and I called 411 and was given a lady's name and phone number at the government center, and until this day that person has NEVER returned my calls from the messages I left. I don't know when he passed, but after his passing the grounds have NOT been taken care of at all. I saw pictures online and read the story and I wrote a comment to him and told him his pictures or a lie. i told him I go out to Evergreen everyday and that he should not promote lies and when people get there it is a total different look. He apologized and said he would take them down. I don't know if he did or not, but I did let him know those pictures were lies. The groundsmen are only seen when they are digging for a burial. I stopped and asked one of them on 8 September 2026 about him not taking care of My Momma's gravesite as he said he would do. He said it was being taken care of. I said yes, that is because I have been cutting and trimming around My Momma's gravesite. He told me that they have cut their hours, his landlord is on him because he has not paid his rent. He hasn't paid his rent because he has not been paid by Evergreen in a month. On 13 September 2026, I met Sandra and we were talking about how the grounds were not taken care of and how bad it is looking. I don't know exactly what it is called but she showed me a picture of something being broken. I shared my stories as did she too about how long the grounds have not been taken care of. The folks in the office don't care and of course if the groundsmen are not getting paid, they don't either. I told her I called them a couple of months ago and asked why the grass had not been cut. She told me the grass was cut today. I said that is a lie, because I am standing out here now and it has not been touched. She said there would be a work order put in for them to cut the grass. I came the next day and the grass was not cut. It took about 4-5 days before the grounds were cut. They have lied that it has been raining the reason the grass has not been cut. Sandra and I will bring some attention to this matter that has been going on for way too long and hopefully some action will be taken and kept up.
