Report
We had an excellent experience with Accord burial and cremation. My husbands mother was on hospice a short time before she passed but made it clear that she wanted simple. My husband had the time to research and make burial arrangements prior to her death. Initially, he was appalled at the costs charged by most mortuaries and their associated burial fees. He was pleasantly surprised to find that Accord offered the same services, the same options, the same support as high cost mortuaries but with much more reasonable costs. Although everyone was aware of my husbands mothers impending

I know a lot about mortuaries and chose Accord for my Mom because we wanted a no-frills cremation and Accord has the best local price. The business owner helped me with the paperwork by fax and by mail; his son helped me to arrange the disposition of the remains. The gentlemen with the pick-up service Accord used were professional and respectful of my Mom's remains. Everything went exactly the way it should.

Paid for policy in full in advance. it has been five months since I have paid them. They don't call back and their excuse is that they are extremely busy. Now that all paperwork is complete, they are only waiting for a policy number (3 weeks ago). Just hope that you don't die before you can get your policy number from them.

You get what you pay for and with this company especially. After many blunders I barely got my moms remains for her memorial which was almost two weeks after she passed. Rude, Tacky and I hope you have more money to go with someone else.
