When my husband passed away in January 2015, someone from Eckersell Funeral Home picked up his…read morebody. It was my husband's wish to have his funeral at Wood's Funeral Home on Ammon Rd in Idaho Falls. The gentleman had no problem with this request. I specifically told him I wanted an autopsy performed. My husband had just recently had a pacemaker/defibrillator combo put in, and I wanted to see if it had failed or could give some idea of what had happened. I was never notified of when his body had been transferred to Wood's in Idaho Falls. There was no autopsy performed, which even if Eckersell wasn't going to be doing the funeral they should have conveyed my wishes for one. They should have also let me know when his body had been transferred. It wasn't until the next day that I got a call from my FATHER IN LAW, that I had to come sign the papers for the funeral. They had been contacted and had taken matters into their own hands and arranged the funeral with no input on my part. Neither Eckersell or Woods had any right to allow them to be the sole decision makers on MY HUSBAND'S FUNERAL. They both went against my express request for an autopsy, which was my call, and no one else's. They did not let me know when his body had been transferred, but informed my in-laws, again not their call. I was the spouse, I should have had first and foremost saying in what was happening, not been an afterthought to sign the papers. If I could give a zero rating I would.

Wish there was an option to leave a negative star for this funeral home. We were treated with…read moredisrespect, but a rude funeral director at a time a family is most vulnerable was the worst! Felt like we were unwelcome (with outward rudeness), the services were poor (they forgot to seal the urn full of cremains), and the atmosphere there is more like a cheap movie set of a bad movie! Hopefully this review can reach families before they are in the situation of having to find funeral services under duress!
