They were very rude to my father who wanted to say his last good bye to his brother. My father can’t walk good so he needs help and they were saying things like this kind of stuff just slows thing down in front of his family like we could not hear them! This was his brother he should have gotten time to say a proper goodbye!

I wouldn’t take my dog there for funeral services. No respect to the family. Heard the staff making rude comments after my handicapped grandfather (who can barley walk) wanted to walk up to give his last good byes to his brother. They pushed him through like he didn’t even know the deceased. Completely uncalled for.
