My Grandfather couldn't even say goodbye properly to his wife of 52 years. We witnessed a horror show today when we burned my grandmother. She was ripped out of the hearse by the cemetery hands slammed in to the burial vault then hoised in mid air in front of all of us swinging and swaying then they put her in the ground and covered her as fast as possible. She deserved better then that my Grandfather deserved better then that!

We were presented with many options never rushed and helped with all the preparations needed during this tough time and followed through

I give this place a one star rating because of the funeral director we dealt with. The facilities are outstanding , very beautiful. All of the staff that I spoke with on the phone were nice and courteous The actual funeral director we dealt with was horrible. We had to plan a memorial for my brother-in-law, my wife met with Charlotte to plan the event. The price was very reasonable and my wife really liked the layout of the place. Charlotte continually tried to rush my wife with the decisions about how to memorialize her brother. After making the arrangements we went to meet at the Mt. Washington
