If I can give any other advice I suggest you go online and read your consumer rights through the Federal Trade Commission before you commit to a funeral home....Knowledge is power especially in a time when your knowledge may be poisoned with grief.
I hope this is helpful.....I never have commented on a business online but I felt it was my moral obligation to do so....
If I could give no stars I would....... I used McManus to bury my mother and father in the last 5 years. 3 other friends of mine also used McManus......One night we got on the topics of funeral homes after hearing the loss of a dear mutual friend and that it was going to be at another Funeral Home....At which point my one friend said this other funeral home is sooo expensive. When we began talking about our experience at McManus which led into the next day we compared the paperwork only to see that we were ALL charged different prices for the same type of funeral (baring the casket).
Iwill admit that I have never liked the idea of people being millionaires from burying my mom and dad but I also understand business is business. But you dont have to be a creep to benefit off the dead!!! STAY AWAY!
Periodically over the next few weeks I would call or my husband would call to ask what a funeral would cost or what a cremation would cost......EVERYTIME we called we got a different price!! With that said we also called Torregrossa, Marine Park and Byrnes funeral homes.......They ALWAYS gave the same exact price and one of them informed me that FUNERAL HOMES are ALL regulated by the Federal Trade commission and that it was illegal to keep changing prices and suggested that we stay away from a funeral home who needs to break the law to stay in business.
When I called the funeral home to ask not only did she seem unprofessional but she also acted as if I caught them! I was told that the price would be different for "shoppers" over the phone then it would be when you just commit to arrange through them.....When I pressed for further answers she ended up going into a deeper verbal spiral that made no sense and just uttered guilt. I was also told that if a family brought documentation from another funeral home sometimes they slash the price to "keep them". Which I was told is common practice in the funeral business and they were doing nothing wrong!
Wonderful staff, attentive to the need of your family during a very difficult time.,very professional,courtesy, will recommend and definitely use again. I was very please.
