We initially began working with another funeral home, but after meeting Ben and his team, we were immediately impressed by their compassion, professionalism, and the quality of services they offered. It quickly became clear that Rawls Mortuary was the right choice for our family. Ben and his team were exceptional from start to finish--kind, patient, thorough, and always on top of every detail. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, they guided us with genuine care, dignity, and professionalism. What stood out most was Ben's willingness to go above and beyond. He helped us find a church large enough to accommodate our family, handled several last-minute requests seamlessly, and ensured everything came together exactly as it should. His attention to detail and ability to anticipate needs gave our family tremendous peace of mind. We also appreciated that the services were beautifully done while remaining affordable. In a time when families are vulnerable and overwhelmed, it was refreshing to work with an honest small business owner who truly cares about the people he serves. We held the wake at Craig Chapel, and it was wonderful to see such a historic community landmark being used so beautifully. The facility provided the perfect setting for family and friends to gather, reflect, and celebrate a life well lived. Thank you, Ben and the entire Rawls Mortuary team, for helping us honor Lester with such care and respect. We highly recommend Rawls Mortuary to any family seeking compassionate, professional, and affordable funeral services.

Selecting a funeral home is something we never like to think about until the time is facing us…read more Should that happen and you are put in the path of selecting a funeral home for your loved one, I'd recommend Conkle on 16th Street. They also offer Pre-Planning packages to avoid putting your loved ones through this experience. They are compassionate, kind, respectful of your loved ones, and they gently walk you through the selection process. They realize you're numb from grief and no one is ever ready for this process in our lives. Conkle's interior remains as it has been for years but is clean, well maintained and cared for even though the drapes are certainly out of style. I know! Who's looking at the drapes at a time like this? The chapels are large and can be increased or decreased as necessary. They try to accommodate every person's budget and are helpful even after the service when you need death certificates or have questions. One additional thought is many restaurants are located within walking distance of Conkles in Speedway for those who spend hours supporting the family. This was brought to my attention and much appreciated for those assisting the family and friends.

Conkle has been gracious, patient, informative and professional without pushing additional services or options. They allowed us space and time while guiding us through the necessary steps. Their staff was prompt and respectful when they came for Dad's body and they worked swiftly without rushing to provide that service. Les helped us through each step of planning the services and has continued to assist us with things like applying for a DD-214 to verify military service and securing additional death certificates. We have felt listened to, respected and valued. Recommendations are suggestions, highly personal, and I highly recommend Conkle.

I said at the end of my initial review of Bousley Funeral Home that despite it being an obvious…read moresmalltown funeral home I'd easily return should the need arise. The need arose. I first reviewed Bousley following the death of my younger brother in 2020. His was a COVID-influenced cremation service with no public ceremony. It went perfectly fine, however, it certainly didn't give anything close to the full funeral home experience. Bousley is a locally owned, family-owned funeral home. The Bousley family bought it from another local family and I believe they hadn't been in business long when my brother passed away. Bousley offers funeral services, cremation, memorial markers, and headstones. Coatesville is a relatively small town located in Putnam County. It's the home to Heritage Lake (a lakeside residential community) where my parents lived. Bousley offers a wide variety of casket options for those seeking burial - from incredibly economical to ultra-premium. They offer a variety of options with cremation, as well. While I'm far from an expert with funerals, though I am a minister and have served at more than a few, their prices are definitely more affordable than a good majority of options here in Indy. That said, for a full funeral you're still talking in the thousands of dollars. They offer the usual service options - different services, different settings, obituary assistance, etc. They do have obituaries on their website, though it's worth noting the website is in significant need of updating (for example, the Bousley children have grown up quite a bit and Mr. Bousley is still pictured despite having passed away in 2023 - his wife carries on as the owner and is super amazing). My father returned to Bousley when my mother passed away in mid-2021. This was a full-service funeral with burial in nearby Clear Creek Cemetery. I did discover that the funeral home does have some accessibility quirks (there's a parlor area I could not access and the ramp into the main area is a bit steep, though I made it work). That said, staff are very friendly and helpful. After this visit, I contemplated upping the rating. However, I'll admit the access issues bugged me and I kept it at 4. This past week, I returned to Bousley for what will likely be the final time when my father passed away. As the last family member, this experience was largely navigated by me and it gave me a stronger impression of Bousley. They picked up my father from the family home when he passed (he'd been in hospice). They graciously waited to do so until I could arrive from Indy. The home was difficult to navigate, however, they do so respectfully while explaining the process. We made arrangements to meet the next day to discuss the services. We went through this process and all was handled well. Funerals are certainly expensive, though I'd say it's a bit lower here than many places. While a variety of option were explored, there wasn't much attempt to upsell. My father wanted simple - we stayed as simple and respectful as we could. I opted for a one day service with visitation before the service. I used a friend who's a minister. I picked a wood casket that was quite nice and we went through service options. They even assist in cashing in any life insurance to help pay for the cost. I'd found a small policy and they continue working on it to this point. Following the service, I received a lovely bag with death certificates, a copy of the DVD we made, leftover memorial bulletins, and other small items. The accessibility issues are still present, of course. One employee, in particular, seemed assigned to make sure I was able to get what I needed and assist with accessibility. It was really quite nice. As I noted before, I've seen poor services ruin a family's hardest day. Bousley made sure our day was lovely. We had a larger than expected gathering (yay!) and much support along the way. While Bousley doesn't offer all the bells and whistles, they're warm and hospitable and professional. They've handled three of my family members and they've done so consistently with tremendous service. (Though do you ever feel like you deserve a frequent flyer discount?). While I doubt the need will arise again as I live in Indy and have no intention of being buried (or cremated) in Putnam County, I've appreciated the Bousley presence during my family's hardest times.

So our loved one recently passed away and it was quite sudden so when leaving the hospital they provide you with a list of funeral homes and you need to make a decision within 24 hours of your loved ones passing!

LaMonde Nixon the director was really patient with us and not judgmental of our family dynamics and dysfunction but helped us maneuver through the most difficult time of someone's life! From Ms. Norma at the front to Kayla everyone was so warm and understanding! As Mr Nixon was able to smoothly work with our insurance company and we found a plan that was suitable for our needs!
