The staff was very rude and just terrible. Not professional at all. As soon as the service was over (when say that I mean people havnt even left the viewing room) they were wanting to be paid, grabbing all the pictures and flowers and piling them. Kept interrupting family as they were trying to say goodbye. It was awful and so unnatural during a time of grief. I have never seen a more uncompassionate people in my life.

The staff at Raven -Choate funeral home was the nicest,
Most compassionate people ever .. not once did I feel I was being rushed to make a decision they took their time in explaining everything in detail .. they were very patient and helped me every step of the way .. They went above and beyond .. I would definitely highly recommend letting them help you in planning a funeral for a loved one

I could not find a place on your website to sign online condolences. Only marked a star so I could post, does not reflect what I think of your business.

Scott was so amazing to work with. He went above and beyond for my family during one of the most difficult times of our lives! He helped us and made sure that things were affordable. He never once tried to get us to spend more money, but instead surrounded us with patience, understanding, and compassion! He allowed us the time needed to say goodbye to our mother, never rushed us! He truly cares about people, has respect for your loved one, and is looking out for the families! We have always used a different funeral home for everyone in my family, but this man changed our outlook, and as a family
