Best Casket Service Cary Near Me

midoriya master: Bounces checks to contractors and will not respond to correct any issues. Makes me question how he handles services

Clapping Hands Farm: CE Willie helped me transport my fathers body to UNC for body donation. It was a very very good experience. First of all, when you call, you end up talking to CE Willie himself. It is truly a family owned business. And although he has a team working with him, he chooses to be present for all aspects of serving his customers.. He is a retired school principal and explains things in a warm, down to earth, easy to understand manner. He is respectful and kind and seems to be in it to serve.To be honest some of my conversations with other funeral services in the area felt like they were not giving me all the information I needed to make good decisions and it felt like they were doing it mostly for the money and trying to make as much money as possible.My experience was that CE Willie was fair, compassionate, and ethical in the way he runs his business.

She worked tirelessly in the background to make sure everything was lovely for my sister's Celebration of Life. You'll feel taken care of, too. A shout out also to Caitlin, who was also professional and delivered on our requests. Finally, the services we used were reasonably priced. A big thank you!

Kia: I had a project for a supply chain management class at my university to study and map the entire process of a loved one passing away. I called and explained the situation to one of the managers and he was nice enough to schedule a phone interview with me the very next day. Brad spoke with me for over an hour and 15 minutes explaining and answering all of my questions regarding the entire process of death and cremation in north carolina and gave me 4 full double spaced pages of notes to work with for completing my project.From everything he told me this company seems extremely genuine and honest while having some of the best prices in the area due to the various ways they have been able to cut out overhead that the other guys haven't achieved. He asked for nothing in return and except that I get back with him about the grade I receive for my project. Highly recommend Wake Funeral and Cremation Services!!!

Cheryl Medford: My mom passed away recently. It was a very difficult time. The people at Wake Funeral and Cremation Services treated all of us like family. Everyone was kind, considerate, warm and caring. Phone calls and text messages were returned quickly, and we had a lot of them. They paid close attention to detail even when we couldn't. They helped us plan a wonder service for my mom and made recommendations that allowed us to have a beautiful service while staying within our budget. The cemetery was also very pretty and in a beautiful location. I honestly can't thank them enough.

Wes Tatum: After an unexpected death of a family member, I wasn’t sure what to do or what the next steps were.. I contacted Wake Funeral Services where Brad was able to walk me through each step while patiently addressing each of my questions. There are no words to describe the compassion and patience they showed to our family during a time when each of us felt a little lost. I highly recommend them and appreciate all they did for our family. Thank you from the Tatum and Demianenko Family!

Basketball Jones: Brown-Wynne and their parent company, Dignity Memorial seems to think it's a great idea to send marketing texts to your cell phone without your approval. Once you call and voice your complaints, they'll apologize and promise that it won't happen again. Then a month later, you'll receive more marketing junk texts from them, begging for reviews... all without your approval and with a failed promise that it will never happen again. How disgusting it truly is to market goods and services, and solicit reviews to people who just lost a loved one and ALREADY paid for a service!My family has been using Brown-Wynne funeral homes since the 90s. Tens of thousands of dollars has been spent using their services with several family members' funerals over the years. Their marketing department's decision to spam it's "valued" customers has caused us to look elsewhere for all future mortuary/funeral needs.

Tammy Russ: The staff at Brown Wynne were very responsive and were able to help us get my husband’s service arranged quickly. The only reason I didn’t rate them 5 stars is because the creation of the obituary for their site was not easy to use. It is a difficult time to get through and they were very helpful and kind to our family. I would highly recommend them.

Kumari Verghese: From the first call and all the way through the service and beyond ,Brown Wynn of Cary stuck with our family. Kind, compassionate and caring every step of the process. They provided efficient and prompt and responsible and respectful service during the most painful of our family’s time- saving goodbye to our beloved husband/ father/ grandfather/sibling and friend..Our grateful hearts thank Brown Wynn and especially Mr. Eric Lemon for your outstanding, compassionate services.From the family of :-( Late) Mr. Chacko P Verghese

Sarah Bush: Our family has appreciated the kind support and efficient service from Brown-Wynne Funeral during the loss of both of our parents. They helped make our transition as smooth as possible. We highly recommend their services! .

Rebecca Balderas: They were professional and so kind as I planned my father’s funeral after his sudden passing. They responded quickly to my many emails and were very helpful.

Jennifer Stephenson Williams: Brown-Wynne took care of my father in 2001 and helped provide a lovely service. We returned in 2022 when my mother died at home. They were quick to respond, and they again exceeded our expectations. This long-time Cary business is a valuable part of our community.

Charlie Buckner: Ridiculously expensive!

Arlene Lang: Brown-Wynn’s Funeral Home managed the funeral and all the details beautifully. I want to thank you for helping us during this most painful time.

James Wetterau: Their counselor Amy Branch was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping with my plans.

Elaine Rose: Brown-Wynne was helpful, comforting, and professional from the moment they took my loved one into their care until they returned their remains. We are the 3rd generation to use their services. They are that good.

Dan Carro: On-time appointment.Good explanation of all the services.

Clifton Rhodes: The staff member we met with was very personable, knowledgeable, and explained everything in detail. Together we were able to make the right choices for our pre-arrangements. It was a very pleasant experience!

Rochelle Havert: I was overwhelmed by details after my husband’s death when I called Dignity Memorial. Eric Lemons, the manager, called me back immediately, helped me manage the newspaper notices, and even set up a web page for a more in-depth obituary, announcements and remembrances. His explanations were clear, his information was comprehensive, his discussion of costs was transparent, but more importantly, I felt entirely comfortable leaving things in his hands. Compassionate, supportive and excellent are the best words to describe my experience.

Karen Boat: Highly professional, courteous and most importantly, extremely compassionate staff. Highly recommend this company.

John Landsiedel: Eric & staff were professional, attentive & very considerate during a difficult time for my family.

Panowork.com魔鬼哥哥: Brown-Wynne Funeral Home did an amazing job for my father that passed away. They were so pleasant to work with, always responded and they are truly great people.

Ellen Waff: The staff were very supportive and warm. All arrangements were completed by telephone and email, so no visit to their facility or face-to-face meeting was required in this time of COVID. The ashes and legal papers were delivered to my home by another empathetic staff person. Our experience could not have been better, frankly. We are grateful.

Donald McSwain: While it is never a situation that you would look forward to needing funeral services, the staff made the planning as painless as possible. They were very helpful and accommodating and from start to finish it was a smooth process.They were compassionate and supportive and made each step manageable.

Sandy Smith: The staff at Brown Wynn in Cary surpassed all expectations possible. They were very professional but so compassionate at the same time. They were extremely professional from the time my Aunt's body was removed my the home until her burial. The Reverend Sansbury was excellent. The family was very pleased all around. Thank you for taking such excellent care on my dear Aunt.

Sarah Holland: Jessica was warm and supportive for our family as we lost our sweet grandmother and mother. City of Oaks is a professional, positive atmosphere and we are grateful they made the celebration of her life a TRUE celebration.

Sharon Skrinjaric: My son unexpectedly passed away and we got a referral for City of Oaks from a friend of my son’s partner. Jessica was so nice, compassionate, and helpful during this trying time. Hopefully you won’t need them but if you do I highly recommend them.

Kelly Smith: A good choice for your loved ones. Despite the sadness of losing someone you love, City of Oaks made it much easier than expected. When our mother died unexpectedly we called City of Oaks. They were professional and timely. When our father was placed in hospice care we contacted City of Oaks in advance. They assured us they would be there and our father's body was taken from the nursing home in less than an hour. The drive was at least 45 minutes. The process of cremation went smoothly both times. After the death of my second parent, I regretted not keeping some ashes for myself in a small container. I called City of Oaks and Jessica instructed me to bring the box containing my mother and they would remove a small amount of ashes as they prepared the ashes from my father's death. The entire process took no more than 10 minutes. I asked her if that was a strange request. She assured me that there were no strange requests from their perspective. A year later I needed a copy of the receipt for estate planning. One call and Jessica sent it over immediately. I give them 5 plus stars. I could not have asked for a better experience. They are true professionals!

Amber: I used City of Oaks when I unexpectedly lost my dad by recommendation from my Pastor. As his next of kin, it was one of the first times I said the that he had died out loud so it was very difficult, but I can't imaging having a kinder, more professional person on the other end of the phone ready to guide me. I will never forget that. They were compassionate, respectful, and reasonably priced. I had no idea what I was doing, but they were easy to work with - everything I needed was taken care of and it was a smooth process. The recommendation to this place was a blessing for me and I hope this will help pay that forward.

C Bailes: Death is hard....and sometimes you just aren't ready..i know because i wasn't.City of oaks was there to help guide..not push..me when i was totally lost. I am eternally grateful for the patient, kind and caring lady that helped me through it all. She heard me, even through my silence. She answered all my questions even when i asked the same ones again. Some places seem to care more about your wallet than your heart or loved one. Not here, they protected my wallet AND reassured me they cared about not only me, but my loved one too. I highly highly recommend this place.

Michelle Heape: Really unhappy with the customer service from the flower department.I placed an order and got a confirmation email at 9:15am this morning for a same day delivery. Then I get a call at 1:06pm saying that my payment didn’t go through. I told them my card info again, didn’t go through. Tried 3 different bank accounts and nothing. Called my banks to see what was going on. Nothing was wrong with any of my bank accounts. The banks didn’t even see any declined transactions. Obviously it is City of Oaks outdated system. The issue, however, was the woman’s attitude (the second person I spoke to) and the fact that she rudely told me that he flowers were not going to be delivered today anymore even if we got the payment issue resolved because the “drivers already left”…. I ordered flowers at 9am then didn’t get a call from them until after 1pm. Super unreliable and rude. I would stay away from ordering flowers from here. You would think they would be nicer to their customers, especially those going through the loss of a loved one. And even more so when the problem was their system and not the customer’s. She didn’t even apologize.I hate to leave a bad review but I would hate for someone else to go through this too.

Randy Brody: Very peaceful and respectful employees. Amazing on every level. Including during pandemic problems with distancing. Best I've ever seen and experienced.

Marina Karmanova: Thank you for the service you provided for my father's funeral. Since the very first call to the funeral home the staff made us feel like my father was "The ONLY" client there not "ONE OF THEM". The staff was very attentive and compassionate. They never tried to sell us any extra bells and whistles and they were very respectful to our requests and wishes. Special "THANK YOU" to Chris, who made this experience as smooth as possible from the time we met him on the first day. Chris was very polite and listened to every single detail and request that we wanted to include into my father's service: he did his best remembering all of the details of how we would like him to be dressed and even little ritual that we wanted to be done at the cemetery at the time of burial! MOREOVER he fulfilled ALL OF THEM!I really enjoyed and appreciate the fact that Chris let us have our space during the entire experience, but yet he was always there in case we needed him!!!! Thank you Chris and entire City of Oaks staff.

Sandra Perkinson: Kind, caring, and professional. They took care of everything!

Rebecca McCabe: I highly recommend City of Oaks Cremation and cannot say enough great things about them. My mother passed away on Christmas Day. I called, Somer promptly answered and patiently gave me easy to follow next steps. Customer service was outstanding because in the background I could hear kids opening presents and she clearly forwarded the phone to take calls. She followed up with me later that day as if it was a regular workday - but made me feel like this was her biggest priority. Also, they worked with me on a few delays that had arisen and were very accommodating.

Shannon Bowers: Beyond awesome to my mom. Because of Covid there are a lot of restrictions. They said, "The night she passes call us." So we did. EVERYTHING we needed to know was online. The staff was wonderful. Sooner was compassionate and professional. Would highly recommend

Erika Emm: I lost my mother to breast cancer last month. My mom chose City of Oaks when she transitioned to home hospice. When my mother passed, Kelly walked me through the entire process (even working on a Saturday). I was treated with dignity and respect throughout. I highly recommend City of Oaks.

Deb Czerwiec: This is the ONLY funeral home and crematory that I recommend for folks in the greater Raleigh area. The facility, the staff, the attitude, the availability of staff fluent in other languages...I could go on and on. Absolute best prices in our entire area and very transparent about costs and choices.

Robert Way: My mother passed away unexpectedly in April with no end of life plans in place. I was then put in a place of what to do, where to do it and how. I reached out to City of Oaks and they walked me through every step. I felt a calm of relief as I now had people to help me with this step. Everything was completed by phone and computer due to COVID-19. I was impressed with the compassion shown by staff that made them feel more like family and not a business.

Susan Arnold: We did not have a formal service due to Covid (I'm shocked by the people giving bad reviews over something City of Oaks can't control). I was very pleased with the reasonable, upfront cost, the coordination of pick up from hospice and the communication about all details.Somer was very friendly and professional. She was easy to deal with and answered all my questions. Everything went smoothly.

jah Ram: Poor service and gave our family different prices

Sharon Swoboda: All I can say is I guess you get what you pay for. What a cheap outfit. In a time of sorrow for me they only added on more.

Lisa Covell: We picked up my father in laws remains today, my mother in law was to upset to do it so i went. Got home and they had him in the wrong urn... called them, they came and swapped out his ashes. How horrible. Then we realized his wedding ring and bracelet where not returned. Called them.. they completely denied them being on body even though hospice verified they where on him. I guess the driver Harey got a nice gold perk. So sad and unbelievable.

Timothy Motes: They canceled our service as people were arriving. They never conveyed any limitations as to the number of people who could attend. Now they're changing their site and blocking the negative reviews they deserve! STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS!!

Marie Jenkins: They just don't care

Georgia Cruthis: Everything was handled beyond my expectations when it came to my husband’s cremation and memorial service. It was a difficult time, but just having that handled with such grace and professionalism helped me get through one of the hardest times of my life. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Time To Meditate: Absolutely OUTSTANDING services provided by the complete staff! Much gratitude and thank you from my family on the services provided on the loss of our loved one. Will recommend to everyone

They made my dad look Great too, On Time, respected their schedule, considerate of covid regulations! What More can I say, If I lived in Raleigh and needed these services for any reason, I would Definitely request them and refer them to friends and family! Thank You Carlton Gray!

Latanja Avery: The best around!

James Utley: Carlton Gray services have been outstanding through the years. Always efficient and timely. Thanks for your years of service.

Bridget Rascoe: Carlton Gray Funeral Home was absolutely wonderful during our time of bereavement over the loss of my husband. They were timely and professional in all aspects of the planning and the execution on the day of the funeral. I appreciated that Mr. Gray thoroughly explained everything to me concerning the charges and that I didn't feel pressured to buy anything that I didn't really want. Mr. Cherry did an excellent job with the care and preparation of my husband's body and added some touches that really made things personalized for him. Mr. Gray and his staff made a very difficult time in my life a little easier with their care and compassion and for that I will always be grateful. I know no one wants to think about death but it's a journey that everyone must take someday. When that time comes I highly recommend Carlton Gray Funeral home for the care of your loved ones. Also a few weeks after my husband's funeral Mr. Gray did a follow up call to see how I was doing. I thought that was very thoughtful of him.

Glaniya Wooden: I like to take this time to say Thank you to Carlton Gray Funeral Home For My Dad service.They Did a Great Job they where very helpful and professional people if I ever had to have another service this is the place I would go to.Thank you to the whole Carlton Gray Funeral&Cremation Team.

Evelyn White: When my husband (James White) passed I chose Carlton Gray because I knew he would be pleased with his appearance. I appreciate their professionalism and caring spirit. I had never gone through this before and Mr. Gray and his staff walked my family and I through the whole process. I would highly recommend this funeral home for their services

Carter Abu: We chose Mr. Gray's funeral home to handle my mother's final arrangements and I was thoroughly impressed with their professionalism, superior knowledge and attention to detail. My mother was buried with dignity because of the personal work that Mr. Gray put in. He labored endlessly to assist my family with a rogue insurance company and left no stone unturned with respect to researching solutions.Mr. Gray's staff was polished, welcoming, and professional. Mr. Gray and his team really love doing the work that they do. They collectively turned my loss and attendant sadness into a happy, joyous celebration of my mother's life. Please do place Carlton Gray Funeral Home on your short list of funeral homes qualified to close out your loved ones afterlife services beyond your wildest expectation(s).

harvey horton: Did a great job taking care of my brother.

Felicia Richardson: We are love you what a blessing you show to everyone and I thank God for you

Latricia Nelson: After they done my Uncle Thurman Bell, my mother and I had a conversation. We both decided that we wanted their services for ourselves when the time comes. Well sadly my mother(Marion Nelson) time came too soon but I know her spirit was pleased to look back over her body to witness how angelic she looked. Everyone was satisfied with her natural appearance and their wonderful service from the beginning to the end! Carlton Gray is the best and I will ALWAYS recommend.

Belinda Willis: I love this business because this family took care of our loved one (Barbara L. Hargraves) in an efficient and timely manner as if she was theirs. We, (the Hargraves) were very pleased.
