This is not a phony review anybody that's ever dealt with Douglas will Know that this place is not where you want to take your loved one... The experience was horrible for our family. I would definitely recommend using any other funeral home but this one.

I have waited over a year to write this. If I could give negitave stars I would. Last March my mother passed in our home. I called Drennan and Ford and they came to retrieve the body. I told them specifically on the phone that my mother's dying request was that I be in the room while she was cremated. I was told it was not a problem. I spoke to them again when they came to my house. Again ,not a problem. I was devastated a few days later when they called to tell me I could pick up my mother's ashes. When I went in to speak to the manager he literally hid from me. The owner was callous and horrible

Drennen Ford came highly recommended and we were not disappointed. From the moment they arrived at my dads house, Scott was professional but also very calming. He helped us understand the whole process. We met with him the following day and that meeting only took a half hour. We signed everything and over the next several days, he kept us informed how things were progressing. Scott was very caring and I cannot say thank you enough. A+++

This is not a fake review! A family member has dementia and is expected to die within the year. We shopped around for funeral homes in the area and settled on this one; I had a good feeling about them pretty soon after talking with them. Prices were at least comparable and in some cases cheaper than other facilities. They were straightforward and professional. When I went back to finalize our decision they were busy but immediately fit me in and we did the necessary paperwork, they told me what the next steps were, and what to expect when their services finally are needed. In my opinion, there

Unfortunately, in my opinion, these guys are not what they advertise. They are overpriced. I would not recommend using them, especially during a difficult time. Look at other options in the area. Sorry, very disappointing:(.
