I cannot express the depth of appreciation and love I have for the wonderful, caring individuals who took care of my beloved husband, Richard Lyons, last August 2020, and also my angelic mother, Mary Fellner, who left this earth November 2009. Rick Carney was my anchor during two of the most horrible life events I ever experienced in all of my 74 years of existence. Laura Bagwell was beyond patient with me. There was no hesitation when I needed her help. Her demeanor was always in a patient and comforting manner, even though she "rolled her eyes" a few times at me. But that was understandable,

NO STARS!! Predatory pricing practices of this funeral home were astounding. They wanted to charge over $600 to inter cremains into a plot occupied by the decedent's late husband. George J. Carroll funeral home has offered to do it for FREE. Please avoid this funeral home.

The worst place to take your loved one to in grayson county. The new owners took advantage of my family and treated my family like a dollar sighn. They buying all the funeral homes around here and than charge the outrageous amount for the services. They caught my family off guard and than try to charge us almost $10,000 for the services . My family found another funeral home that charged us 2500 for the SAME services that they were charging us. We went back to find out why is there a HUGE price deference and if they would be able to work with us on the price and the answere was given to us was

Absolutely the worst experience of my life!!! I have never felt more disrespected.. and by a business who's soul purpose is to be there tohelp you through your time of grief. My father was a disabled Vietnam veteran. Since Meadors was local, naturally we contacted them. No exaggeration the first thing that they asked me and my family was if we had insurance and how much it was!! After much discussion and them trying to up sell everything including the kitchen sink. We walked out of there owing them $8500!! My fathers life insurance policy did nit cover the entire cost, this left me and my family

We buried two family members within 6 weeks of each other. We used Meador Funeral Home both times and found them to be very helpful, upfront and honest. The issues we did have were very minor and they fixed them right away. My uncle didnt like the guy who led the service at my grandmothers funeral so when he passed away unexpectedly they helped us find someone else. Was able to contact them anytime day or night during and after this process and they always replied very quickly. I was impressed. Also I should mention they walked us through casket selection, poems, music etc and were able to work
