I have finally got up enough strength to write a post about Hertford County Undertakers in Winton,…read moreNC. Our son Benjamin Weiss was so sick with unknown Mental Health issues he took his own life on 1/14/2022 while home 1 Friday from school. Heart broken we chose a local funeral home in Suffolk, VA. Due to bad customer service, and an outrageous price of $12k we decided to move him to Hertford County Undertakers from the suggestion of our Pastor. When we met with Mrs. Cooper we were angry, and confused. Immediately our nerves were calmed, and were relieved with the price she quoted us. The final price was very reasonable. She never tried taking advantage of us like the other home. The staff was amazing to the receptionist, the driver, Mrs. Taylor and that perfect slideshow of my baby, the guys that dug his whole, the guy that made my baby look like himself, and Mrs. Mildred. After the service she's called to check on us which really made us happy. Last week we were shocked by this beautiful name plate that was on his grave. We are so thankful to Hertford County Undertakers for their perfect professional services. The Weiss Family thank you for your help.

The Albert G. Horton Memorial Cemetery is a State Veterans Cemetery on Milners Road in a rural area…read moreof Suffolk. Its 2004 opening provided a military cemetery for the huge military community that chose to retire in Coastal Virginia. The cemetery is one of a number of regional cemeteries run by the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, Eligible Veterans receive one free burial site & USDVA provided outer burial receptions/crypts & headstones. Should a veterans's wife predecease him, the headstone is inscribed with her information facing forward. When the veteran dies his information is inserted on the opposite side and the headstone rotated so his information faces the front, My Uncle had originally planned to be buried at Arlington. After his wife died, the funeral director mentioned Albert Horton. When we left my Uncle asked what I thought. We both had individually felt that it would be a place where we could more easily visit her. We toured the next day. Even the drive down Milners Road is picturesque. The cemetery itself was clean, new and beautifully laid out. The staff was friendly. The decision was made. At that time word of the beautiful Veterans Cemetery had not yet widely spread. She received a convenient plot near the drive through and near a bench. There appeared to be space for burials for many years. That hasn't been the case. The Cemetery filled over the years and has been expanded. When my Uncle died I had my first experience with the Pavilion, which is used to provide a military graveyard service with Honor Guard. It was a moving experience for the man I considered my second father. The Honor Guard was a special final recognition for the retired Naval Commander, buried in his uniform, who had served in WWII, Korean & Vietnam. Albert Horton Veterans Cemetery continues to serve as a valued source for a final resting place for those who have served our country. Wreaths across America places gorgeous holiday wreaths on each grave. The Horton Wreath Society places wreaths on military holidays. Contributions can be made and are encouraged. Whether the burial be a traditional plot with stone, a columbarium or in ground urn, there is no cost for those Veterans who qualify. Thank you to the Virginia Department of Veterans Services. Virginia Veterans Cemeteries are such a valued contribution provided to our Veterans.

Baker and Company Funeral Home and Crematory was a godsend for me as I looked to give my father the most fitting send-off I could provide. There is something to said for longevity and years of experience. Suzann, the funeral director, guided me in the gentlest of ways with kindness and expertise. My situation required logistics that R.W. Baker made seamless. I am grateful for the compassion and professionalism exhibited by Suzann and the entire staff, from accounting to the boots on the ground, the day of my father's service. I could have chosen from a number of funeral homes, but I went with years of experience and was not disappointed. I highly recommend R.W. Baker to meet and exceed your expectations, when you are faced with end of life preparations. It was not a transactional experience; it was and is based on a one-to-one relationship.

I could go into great detail on how Joyner's failed my family but I am ready to move past this…read moredifficult time. So, I will try and summarize my experience. Joyner's is priced far about the national avg for their services and, one would expect that with that premium, you would get above-average service. Unfortunately, this was far from the case for us. Things started out really good, then they missed deliverables, the lack of communication was sad but, above all the office manager's complete lack of professionalism and compassion was absolutely appalling. If anyone ever asks me what my worst customer server experience is, Joyner's is currently at the top of the list.
