Several years ago -like 10- had the awkward experience of ensuring all items were as needed with my wife for her (then still living) mother. When her father had passed many years earlier it was decided to give her mom a chance to pick out her stuff.
After some years went by, we had the horrible experience of her mother passing unexpectedly at home, just after dinner.
Mr. Hoffman said he'd have everything in order, simply call the number. As we had moved to a different county by then I wasn't sure it'd be that seamless. It was.
Jeff was a man of his word, they took care of everything after the

I was very pleased with the services provided by Dudley-Hoffman Mortuary after my mother's death. I was impressed with the kindness, care, and professionalism shown by each staff member. It was necessary to adjust the preliminary arrangements because of COVID-19 restrictions. Dudley-Hoffman Mortuary was very accommodating.

I will give Dudley Hoffman mortuary a 5 star rating. No one wants to think of the time when this service will be needed for their loved ones , but there does come a time when this decision has to be made. I have dealt with Jeff , his son and staff several times and have received very professional, caring and honest service. Not only was everything explained to me , but they did everything possible to walk me through these difficult times. I found out that Jeff has helped many families when needed in our community .

Went with my grandmother to get a quote on a double plot. Michael quoted us a price for a double plot, but when my grandfathers remains were ready to go into the memory garden, the prices changed. I made sure during the first meeting I asked questions so I was clear on the pricing. There was also another gentleman who worked there that oversaw the meeting. Our fault for not getting it in writing, but seriously avoid this place at all costs. They are trying to take advantage of the elderly and I think it's a disgusting business practice. I willl also be filing a complaint with the BBB.

These people are awful. They were uncaring, rude and incompetent. The owner is awful and made it very clear that my family's request to be with our loved one during cremation was a huge inconvenience to him. When we said we had questions, he couldn't have been more put out, he was rude and made it very clear to us that he did not care how we felt about the process at all. And to make it worse, when we went to do the final pick up, they refused to give us our beloved's remains, stating they could only be released to a specific person, and we had to get a verbal ok to release over the phone before
