Grier Funeral Service

Thank you for the great natural looking job you did preparing my son's body. I appreciate your professionalism and attention to details;you partnered with Brandon Funeral Services to ensure the flight was arranged, paid for and flight details provided timely so the out-of-state funeral services were conducted as scheduled.

Setup camera for virtual funeral was facing the wrong way. Then funeral apparently went over and so before being able to see the final farewells the stream just shut off. All of us at this home watching feels like we still missed it. Disappointing.

The service was beautiful. It clicked off at 4:10 but I saw most of it. Save a program for me if you can. I know!!! SMH... I kept trying to refresh it but it was cut short The memorial was lovely. I was wondering why it abruptly shut off. I'm sorry. They should have explained that . Knowing that these are extenuating circumstances. With over 15 emails back and forth to make sure this service was perfect for our mother and our 1 brother who could not see my mother due to CovId at the hospital or attend the memorial; it was also cut short for him as well. I was then informed the recording I asked for him would be cut short as well like the live stream. The above are a few of the messages I got from loved ones and family members. I was also given a date of my mothers cremation by the funeral director to find out on the certificate actually showed an earlier date smh i reached out to Grier and they could care less.

My fiancé recently held his mothers service at this location. I have to say, this place was not only disorganized in terms of communicating with family, the process was unclear. I had to serve as the IT person for the service because they lacked the ability to accommodate the family with a competent person to handle their antiquated system. My fiancé repeatedly asked the Grier Funeral Services for clarity on what was being done. He provided a step by step guide to follow so that there would be no hick-ups during the service. However, they failed to stream the complete service to the many family and friends that were not able to be in person at the service. The Grier Funeral Service home has lost all empathy towards suffering families. I feel that to them, it's just another service to get through. However to the families, its a moment to be able to properly send off their family member the way they had wished. I am appalled that when we asked what day she was cremated, we were given the wrong date. Therefore, any specific prayers and/ceremony that would have been done on cremation day, was missed. Stand clear from their services, when you are grieving, I feel they take advantage of that and paint you a pretty picture backed by the fact that they have been in business for many years. They need to understand that times are changing and they need to keep up with the times. They must understand that the needs of grieving families are the forefront and must be considered at all times. STAND CLEAR --- STAY AWAY!

I wouldn’t recommend using this funeral home my so called funeral director never helped with anything. All I can remember him helping me with is wiping out most of my mothers insurance policy. I never seen him the day of the viewing or the day of the service. I was told I would be able to approve of my mothers body before she was put on display and that never happened. Her makeup and hair was rushed and thrown together just a complete rush job. I walked in and she was out for everyone to see before I got there. My family was already going through so much loosing my mother during the holidays and they started lining bodies up outside her viewing room and I had to ask someone to move them. Completely unprofessional and I wish I had time to look at other funeral homes this was a big regret, the viewing area is cheap outdated and they had several bodies in the same area.
