I'm not happy with the way my family was treated by this particular funeral home. My mother passed away last month, long store short she wanted to be cremated and we honored that. The funeral home spoke with our insurance company and verified the life insurance. Everything was on track ... Two weeks later my father starts getting phone calls from them asking for money. It is normal for a funeral home to wait 30 plus days to receive payment, hence the reason they call and verify everything. My family had suffered a huge loss, there was no compassion what so ever. It was all about the money.. If

My elderly mother died very unexpectedly from COVID. Fortunately for us, she'd planned for her passing years prior. The funeral home took such good care in making sure that her wishes were carried out. There was one change due to unforeseen circumstances on my mom's part; and they were very upfront with that. I feel like she could not have gotten any better care. I also feel like the family could not have had any better care. They were very sensitive to our family's grief for an unexpected passing of a loved one. Prior to meeting with the funeral home, I was warned about funeral

My dear mother recently passed away and my father made her funeral arrangements through Greco. Their presentation of her and the service that followed were absolutely beautiful. It was better than I could have imagined, and I am certain that my mother would have been pleased with the staff's professionalism and kindness. In a time of such vast sorrow, I am grateful to know that my mother was ushered into her final journey by a very talented and thoughtful group of people. I thank them all.
