We are deeply unhappy with the place we chose for our mother to be buried…read more Unfortunately, everything happened very quickly after our mother passed away. The hospital informed us that we needed to make arrangements as soon as possible because they did not have a morgue available for long-term holding. In the middle of our grief, we visited several cemeteries and ultimately chose Resthaven because it appeared to be the most beautiful and well-maintained option. Between the funeral services and burial lot, our family spent more than $31,000. While it was expensive, we believed we were providing our mother with a premium and dignified final resting place. Sadly, our experience since then has left us with serious regrets. The first issue occurred during our mother's burial service. We watched cemetery staff operate heavy machinery throughout the area with little regard for the surrounding graves. During our mother's burial, we personally witnessed staff break two neighboring tombstones. We also observed machinery being driven directly over multiple graves. It was shocking and upsetting to see such carelessness in a place that is supposed to honor and preserve the memory of loved ones. Witnessing that made us immediately worry about the safety and future condition of our own mother's grave. The second incident occurred only fifteen days later, on June 3rd, our mother's birthday. Our family gathered at her gravesite early that morning and spent the day together remembering and honoring her. Around 10:00 PM, a woman exited a vehicle and approached us aggressively, immediately stating that we needed to leave or she would call the police. There was no introduction, no attempt at a respectful conversation, and no empathy whatsoever. When we asked who she was, she identified herself as the manager, Tiffany. We attempted to explain that it was our mother's birthday and that we had been told we could visit her at any time when we purchased the burial plot. Before we could even finish our sentence, Tiffany interrupted us and responded, "I don't care. Y'all need to leave." Those words were incredibly painful to hear. We understand that cemeteries have rules and operating hours. We understand that employees have responsibilities to enforce those rules. However, there is a respectful and professional way to communicate with grieving families. Even if exceptions could not be made, a simple explanation delivered with compassion would have gone a long way. Instead, we were met with hostility and indifference. Tiffany ultimately called the police. The responding officers themselves were respectful and apologetic, explaining that although they understood the situation, we would need to leave. We complied. What continues to hurt us is not that we were asked to leave. What hurts is how we were treated while grieving our mother on her birthday. Losing our mother has been one of the most painful experiences our family has ever faced. Knowing that she is buried in a place where we witnessed damaged graves, careless operation of heavy equipment, and such a complete lack of compassion from management only makes that pain worse. As a result of these experiences, our family is now seriously considering relocating our mother's remains elsewhere. We never expected to feel this way after spending so much to ensure she would be laid to rest in a place worthy of her memory. We hope Resthaven's management will take these concerns seriously and reflect on how grieving families deserve to be treated--with dignity, professionalism, and compassion.

My sister and I made appointments and bought 3 basic cremations for $4575.00. That was the price for 1 simple cremation at one of the better known funeral homes. We are outliving the people who would care about attending our funerals anyway and we have made other arrangements. The representative met with us. He was. very friendly. He didn't try to sell us anything other than what we asked for . He answered all our questions regarding organ donation. It was a very positive experience. The services are transferable if we move too. I would definitely recommend them.

I was here today to get a headstone for my mom (r.i.p.). While the man who assisted us was very helpful I was extremely offended and showed great restraint when he inquired about the health of my dad. I told him that my dad is ill with multiple myeloma, which is why he didn't accompany us and the very next words out of this guy's mouth are "he's not going to survive that". What the F--?! You don't say that to someone. While it is true that none of us are going to live forever, to boldly say that to a person is incredibly rude and hurtful even if that's not the intention. While the service was good, the employees need some sensitivity training.

The man we met with was so genuine and gentle in his approach, which we greatly appreciated at such a delicate time. He listened to exactly what my friend wanted and more importantly, gently guided her in the decision making process because this was so unexpected and her husband was so young, a service was not something they had discussed before. She didn't really know what she wanted but the guidance she was provided was perfect. No high pressure sales tactics, every option was presented and she was allowed to choose within her budget without any judgment. Everything was carried out exactly as planned and the service was very nice. There were a lot of options as far as different spaces and the one we selected with the help of the funeral planner was perfect for her needs. The staff was very warm and welcoming. No high pressure sales, which I know other people have experienced at other funeral homes. Bottom line, no one wants to need the services of a funeral home but should you need to plan a memorial, this Rabenhorst is a very warm, caring place to do so.

Something so simple as to the spelling of the last name of our father became an issue. You would think the funeral " Seale Funeral Service" could take care of a death certificate that would match the birth certificate. But No, since I was not there in person, Tracy who handles the death certificates decided on her on that since I was not paying the bill she was going to spell my fathers last name however my brother wanted her too. She did not care if it matched the birth certificate or not. She was extremely dismissive and proceeded with a wrong death certificate name without any concerns. I will never recommend " Seale Funeral Services" to anyone in my family or friends. When I ask my attorney is this legal, his reply was "what do they benefit for not matching the birth certificate". Names are extremely important! Especially if you're in the process of getting an Italian citizenship. My father would be so disappointed that his name was misprinted.
