My family has been loyal to Evans for many years. Our most recent loss was made more difficult due…read moreto an unprofessional and unsympathetic interaction with Taylor Evans. Our family member that consulted with Ms. Evans was asking for clarification of services and was met with multiple derogatory remarks. This interaction complicated and added unnecessary stress to an already grieving person/family. On Evan's website they promise warmth and compassion in a professional atmosphere. Also, gentle guidance and support is promised. If you are promising this to grieving customers you should deliver, otherwise please choose another profession. True compassion is authentic. You can't give what you don't have.

I would have loved to give more stars but unfortunately, Mr. Johnathan has made me lower my score…read more Recently, my mom passed away and my family has used Estep Funeral Home because we have had a great experience with them in the past. They did a wonderful job on my mom making her look so beautiful and peaceful. Everyone there were very nice, sympathetic, and professional. However, there were some confusion with the insurance policy (because Johnathan for some reason could not get the policy numbers correct no matter how many times it was given to him through email or verbally). Eventually, everything cleared up and the funeral home was paid. But during time he was unprofessional with a family member who was helping me with the funeral arrangements and dealing with policy. My family member decided to leave a review about their experience dealing with him and of course it was not a good one. Today, while I am still grieving the passing of my mother, Johnathan called me to question me about the review that my family had given and was very rude, unprofessional, and nasty. It's one thing to call to see what the problem was, how things could have been handled differently, or to just apologize, but to call and be nasty and rude about it and even threaten to respond back to review with a negative comment of your own is downright unprofessional. And from what I see there are other bad reviews here as well as on yelp. My mother is gone, and you are calling her grieving daughter about a review? Are you serious? By you making that call has cause more harm and good. The next time you decide to call a grieving family stop and think first about how that call can affect them and your business.

They were efficient, practical, and reasonably priced. There was never any pressure to upsell or expand the service we wanted. I view this as particularly important because the event itself makes family members feel very vulnerable and unsure of next steps. They know what they're doing and how to do it well. If cremation is the choice, these are the people you want on your side.

During one of the hardest weeks our family has ever experienced, the Cremation Society of Maryland…read moretreated us with compassion, patience, and dignity. Our family situation was complicated, with authorizations needing to come from multiple people, one family member overseas, and a grieving mother who needed extra time and support. At every step, their staff was kind, respectful, and understanding. They answered our questions, guided us through the process, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. After initially working with another provider that added stress during an already overwhelming time, finding the Cremation Society of Maryland felt like finding people who genuinely cared about helping families through difficult circumstances. We are deeply grateful for their professionalism, empathy, and the dignity with which they helped us care for our loved one. Thank you for making a painful process a little easier for our family.

A'lan and the staff did an AMAZING job from start to finish! My grandfather was well taken care of. A'lan listened to us and followed all of our wishes. He groomed my grandfather so well, moisturized his skin, and put a smile on his face. He handled formatting the obituary for us and doubled checked with us prior to printing the final product. They offered many service options at an AFFORDABLE price. I would highly recommend this funeral home for anyone who is looking for a small service at the funeral home or for anyone who already has a venue for the service but is in need of a funeral home to handle everything else. Thanks to the Close family and employees for helping us during this difficult time.

I would definitely recommend them for their high level of customer service and to support local black businesses.

When I arrived for the viewing, I was immediately greeted by the staff and asked who was I to see. I was told to wait. So I sat in the lobby. The seats were very low, but comfortable. I was advised that ai go in the room. The room was a decent size and had seating all around the room. Now I will say upholstery seats should be cleaned if there are stains. One of the couches had a stain that should have been cleaned up before having a family gathering. For that I had to deduct a star. No one wants to sit on a unknown stain. The chapel was very nice for the service.

Tyler was very helpful, gave honest advice and was supportive. Everyone at Barranco was sympathetic, available for questions and patient. We wanted just a simple service, since she was already cremated elsewhere. He made it so easy and it was very affordable. It's a nice location and a lovely interior. The parking lot is massive with an exit in the front and rear. They have a huge assortment of flower arranges to choose from, or you can order them on your own elsewhere. I decided to pick the flowers through Barranco, although pricey, it was guaranteed to be there I didn't have to do anything (I was distracted enough). We took the flowers home with us after the event, and after a week or more, the Barranco flowers outlasted most of the other flowers people sent from a local florist! They also arranged a photo slide show, and put a nice obituary page on their website. They also recorded the program for us and sent us the link. Very high quality and all you need. I do wish we could hear the organ play (funeral music) when we entered, but that was only me, my brother didn't want that. Overall, a solid experience and consistent. I highly recommend.
