Be very careful with this funeral home. They may lack honesty, and or diligence. A year ago we lost a parent/In-Law. We used Modell because the parent's spouse was handled through them. During the arrangements ,with the owners daughter, we informed her that the Parent had changed it's mind, and instead of the full burial package, the Parent had previously decided on, the parent wanted Cremation, and a Memorial service at our Church. The Pastor had become a good friend. The Daughter worked with us on the Urn, cards and the arrangements of the remains. Yet, it appeared to us that she became preoccupied with other matters and wanted to give us over to someone else as soon as she could. On later reflection we questioned ourselves on her leaving us was due to the amount of money we were not spending. Months passed as I went through boxes of the parent's records, gotten food poisoning, and spent weeks sipping Broth and sleeping. As we did not pay in full immediately Modell put the account into collection. While recovering I spent an hour in the morning and another in the afternoon back in the boxes. Discovering, in a bundle of old Bank records, a Customer's copy of a Forethought Funeral Insurance policy written by Modell Funeral Home. I contacted Modell and the daughter answered. I told her what I had discovered, and her immediate response was how glad she was that she was not the person to have handled this. How that person should have checked the records. (She must have been doing something else when she spent over ten minutes checking, or she did find the records?, we do not know). She then asked to take care of the matter for us, for which I declined, having no confidence or trust in her or them. The story continues but the above is the essentials. I still question myself on whether or not she was diligent, or if she had found the policy. Did she have a lack of memory in handling us, or was she trying to cover herself. Did she put us in collection to further gain funds and cover themselves? What was nice, was that in the final meeting she never gave us or offer us any credit for there lack of service, Professional to the end. Oh, I forgot they messed up the cards. - ()

Today is the anniversary of the passing of our father on March 3, 2014. When the mail arrived we had a card from Gary and Patsy Comer, honoring the anniversary of his passing. We remembered how thoughtful and gentle they were to us when we were so vulnerable in our sorrow. The quality of service that Gary provided us when we needed him is extraordinary. - ()

Mark and everyone else at Adams did a real good job on putting together the service and even set up a Military Honors service at Dayton National Cemetery for my father. He even assisted me with ways to receive financial support at the VA. Thanks Adams Funeral Home. - ()

Just used the services of Woods-Rettig Funeral Home and was very pleased. Durning the planning stages we never felt pressure to "buy up" for items. They covered the details in a thorough, professional and caring manner. My mother looked beautiful, they did an amazing job. The entire experience during a difficult time was outstanding and our family would recommend Woods-Rettig Funeral Home to anyone in need. - ()

We recently lost our mother due to complications after an unexpected surgery. What a shock! It was devastating. Anyone who has been through the loss of a loved one knows it is a daunting and overwhelming experience. We were all dreading the trip to the funeral home to start the process of putting mom to rest. However, Barb and the incredible staff at Swan-Law made the experience as painless as possible. The staff was professional, thoughtful and most of all genuine. Yes, guiding you through the process is their job. However, each person we dealt with was sincere, gentle and understanding. The on-site reception room we opted to use after the memorial was perfect. It was so easy to have guests simply cross the hall to visit and share stories about mom. We were not pressured to use the room, it was simply offered. Barb also suggested a very modest menu that fit our needs perfectly. My father is so happy with the service and attention we received, he plans on making pre-arrangements for his memorial with Swan-Law's pre-planning service. We shed plenty of tears planning mom's services, but were surprised to also share quite a few smiles and laughs at the same time. I would highly recommend using the Swan-Law for your funeral/memorial needs. - ()

DO NOT truths your love ones with Mickeys Funeral Home. Being from out of town I thought they would take good care of my Mother. Was I ever wrong. My Mom had to be sent to another Funeral Home and It took them hours to correct the damages that was done by them. And the Director promised me he would take care of my mother. I figured he would, didnt he have a mom. - ()

To the family of Irene Gomsrud: I am saddened to learn of Irene's death. I will miss the visits with her, her smile and happy outlook, and her "Irishness". May all your good memories of her be of comfort and continue to warm your hearts. - ()

They were friendly at first, but showed no attention to detail, they sent or Father's remains to the wrong address then stuck us with the bill to get his remains back, basically they said there were done and told us to call Fed Ex to pay and have them ship the remains to the correct address. When a loved one dies it is already a trying time, then when the funeral home you deal with makes it even harder with no compassion or willingness to fix there mistake it's just unimaginable. I would Not recommended anyone to use Desert memorial services if you want good compassionate correct service! - ()

I would just like to say that I would never use this funeral home due to the tasteless commercials it is showing for its wrestling program due to air beginning tonight. I find it totally disgusting in everyway. - ()

My brother and I chose Desert Memorial to perform our dad's cremation since their reviews were good and their rates were low. We dealt with Kristen Anderson, and we told her to ship our dad's remains to his former Kentucky address only if they could do so prior to his memorial service. Otherwise, she was to refund the shipping charge and provide me with instructions on when and where to pick up my dad's remains. About two (2) months after my dad's memorial service, Desert Memorial finally conducted my dad's cremation and sent his remains to his former address in Kentucky, without notifying us and against our prior instructions. They only told me about this after I inquired about it. Now, they are attempting to wash their hands of the matter, forcing us to attempt to clean up their mess, so to speak. I would definitely recommend looking elsewhere, since no one wants to deal with this company's mistakes in addition to the pain of the loss of one's loved one. - ()

Believe Mr. Cutmyer is trying to slander the name of a very reputable business for his own personal enjoyment. This is a family owner business who cares about all the families they serve. - ()

We had a horrible experience with this funeral home. My parents bought lots there over 50 years ago when the cemetery and funeral home were one...Palms Memorial...but had since moved away. Trying to make arrangements with them to receive my dad's body and set up a grave side service were ridiculous. Unnecessary stress at a difficult time. Our local funeral director, who was handling the immediate details, was dumbfounded. We have one remaining plot for my mother but will not deal with them again! If I could give less than one star I would. - ()

Community Funeral Home provided excellent service during the homegoing of my father in law, E. James Reddick. Their compassion & consideration of the family's requests was greatly appreciated. We thank Mr.Todd Harris and his staff for their service and highly recommend them for others when the need arises.; - ()

My family has used this funeral home for over 50 years. We have alway been very pleased with their service and the fact that they always remember us. They are very accomodating, take the time necessary for us to get family in from out of town. Also the last time we used them another family member was thinking we should go to another place because she was told they were less expensive. As it turned out Spiker-Foster-Shriver was the least expensive of the 4 places she called. I would highly reccoment them to anyone in need. - ()

I'd give this place 0 stars if I could. The man running the place is the rudest person I've ever met. He started taking flowers off my Nanny's casket and packing her up while we were still in the funeral home crying. He and his staff made laying my Nanny to rest an absolutely horrible experience. - ()
