Thank you, Jeff, for taking the time out of your very busy day, to call and SCREAM at me KNOWING my father just passed. My sister and I were only trying to notify you he had other surviving family members. YOU MADE IT VERY CLEAR YOU DO NOT CARE TO HEAR OUR EMAILS UNLESS WE WERE WILLING TO PAY YOU. Disgusting.

For a funeral home, you sure LACK any sympathy.....unless I have a CC number to give you. Pitiful.
