Friendly staff, clear & simple pricing, beautiful grounds…read more Buying plots for my family never crossed my mind until recently when we lost a child. Having to find a funeral home and a cemetery in such a short amount of time is not easy to do. We thought getting a plot would be a simple thing to do but found that cemeteries are very busy and you need an appointment. We visited a few cemeteries in the area and were disappointed by the lack of customer service and outrageous prices. We had heard that one didn't need to be Catholic to be buried here, and after stopping in for a visit we found that this was accurate information. The only stipulation that they had was that a religious symbol needs to be on the marker or headstone. For example praying hands, angels, etc. We loved the transparent price sheet. It was a few pages long, covered everything and even included a check sheet on what you need to do after a loved one has passed away. The prices here were about a quarter of the cost compared to other cemeteries near by. The staff was compassionate, caring, and very kind. We were given a run down of prices, lots available and shown options for markers and headstones. We were also chauffeured around the property. They made the process so simple and easy. They even offered us a payment plan so we didn't have to pay for everything all at once. The cemetery is beautiful. There are lots of trees and flowers. The main office was just built a few years ago and is very nice. We were told that there is enough land to last them for 100 years and this is the fastest growing cemetery in Columbus. We were impressed on every aspect of our visit here. I would highly recommend this place because of the affordable prices, customer service and the beautiful grounds.

My family has been using the services of Maeder-Quint-Tiberi Funeral Home for four generations…read more This has been a family-owned business since 1870. The pricing is reasonable and ranges from modest to more expensive options. We have really liked the management style of the people who own and work here. Everyone that we have ever encountered was respectful and helpful. Some might refer to that as professionalism. I prefer to think of it as being kind and sympathetic during a stressful time in everyone's life. Such as when they picked up the deceased loved one, made suggestions for the final arrangements, to offering ideas for the service. And finally co-ordinating with the military honor guard, church and/or cemetery. Then within a short time after the burial, they sent us copies of the Death Certificate. The funeral home itself offers a lovely and comfortable place to meet and has a large parking lot. I highly recommend this funeral home for their services, quality, and value.

No bending over to read cards on arraignments on the floor. Well lit, with no old carpet smell. Large modern visual displays for family remembrance photo slideshow. Smooth layout flow pattern. One of the biggest parking lots you may find in German Village. Staff was positioned near the entry doors to answer questions and give direction. Overall a good visitor experience. Just needs a few more updates.

I always bring a weed eater to do grave clean ups. However today there was no need. All the graves were perfectly groomed. The entries cemetery was beautiful. I have been coming several times a year for more than 30 years and usually spend a few hours weed eating and such. There was nothing for me to do today. Besides placing flowers. I don't know if they changed landscapers but hope this is the standard going forward. A very pleasant surprise.

Otterbein is a small historic graveyard located right behind Hannah Mayne park on Knox St in old…read moreWesterville. It has been in use since the early 1800s and is the final resting place of Benjamin Hanby, a 1858 grad of Otterbein College and also a songwriter. "Darling Nellie Gray" and "Up on the Housetop" a popular holiday tune. Several Hanby family members are also buried here. The Hanby family were known for their abolishionist politics during the civil war. The mausoleum is rumored to be haunted, people have seen apparitions walking in ravine behind it and in the yard. This yard is very atmospheric and in the half-light of dusk, downright creeeeepy, muhwahahahahah... During the day this is a very picturesque graveyard, well manicured and well treed. This is where I want to be planted "when the time comes." I love the character of this yard even if I can hear..."they're coming to get you Barbara" as the sun starts to dip below the horizon. Maybe I've been watching too many horror shows or maybe, just maybe, I'm creepy like that! :D

After another funeral service informed us they could not help us within 24 hours of funeral. We called Day-Manofsky. Rick Day put together arrangements in less than 24 hours and talked to us about alternatives. For example since our service was small, suggested we not do traditional police escort processional from church to graveside. Made it easier and saved us money. Spence Funeral Service in Canal quoted us price in excess of $6000. Day-Manofsky charged us $2378 for same services. Death of loved one is always hard. We felt like Rick Day treated us with respect, listened to what we wanted, and did not take advantage of us in a situation where we were vulnerable.

It's small, and I didn't see much except the meeting room, but it's tasteful and welcoming inside. Plenty of parking outside. The staff were very empathetic, patient, and helpful, both on the phone and in person. Anyone coming here is having a rough time, and has many important decisions to make while simultaneously dealing with strong emotions. They understood that, and helped me through things. They have many options for every part of the service, and prices are reasonable.

From the very first phone call, Mr. Kip Shaw was AMAZING. As someone coming from out of town, I truly appreciated the utmost respect he showed me. ​The pricing was fantastic and, more importantly, honest--the initial quote was exactly what I paid, with no surprises. Mr. Kip made me feel at ease during every interaction, and the entire staff was extremely pleasant. They took wonderful care of my brother and made a difficult process much easier. If you are local or from out of town, please trust Shaw & Davis with your loved ones.

The funeral home was in charge of the funeral service and cremation. A horrific list of items was either not done or done incorrectly. 1. The viewing started late because the staff had not set up the room in time. 2. We had asked to have my mom's hair braided. They failed to braid her hair. My daughter had to do it. 3. The tribute video playing when loved ones entered the room to see her was a tribute video of someone other than my mother. They had to hurriedly switch it out. 4. We were told we could stream music over Bluetooth speakers. When we were ready to play her favorite songs we were informed they didn't have a Bluetooth speaker that day. We were forced to have a family member retrieve one. 5. We requested several locks of hair to be preserved because she was being cremated. This was not done before her cremation. They are lost forever. 6. We requested finger nail clippings be kept in order to preserve her DNA. This was not done before her cremation. Her DNA is lost forever. I do not recommend this funeral service for anyone. Their prices are low, but there's a reason for it. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and go someplace else. At this point, I don't even trust that the ashes I received are those of my mother. That doubt will be stuck with me for the rest of my life. It's not worth the couple of thousand dollars we saved.
