When my dad passed away, the female who made sure our family was pleased with how he was presented, also made the process a little easier just by being so attentive. She made sure every wish was granted to the best of her abilities from the moment we walked in to visit on the day of his wake to the time we said good bye. Words could not express how appreciative I was for everything going so smoothly and especially for how comforting she was. Currently, there is a family friend being laid to rest and my mother is unable to attend the services. 48 years, she's looked for him and when they finally reconnect, he's called home. Needless to say she is devastated and trying to hold herself together the best she can. The man answering the phone (I guess in embalming), I am assuming has grown irritated with her many questions and attempts to contact her friend's children because I heard his tone and the things he said to my mother this morning when she tried one last time to catch one of the kids in passing/leave her number so they may call her. "I already told you. The obituary won't be out until next week. We have a weekly news paper here. You've called and called. I told you I would send you an obituary. I don't control the news paper." Now, imagine he's saying it in a sharp, passive aggressive tone. Those words may not seem harsh when you just read them, when your heart is broken and are calling for comfort, they are. She's been crying her eyes out for the past 30 minutes, sad because of her friend, feeling bad because she can't make it, and now, feeling like she's done something wrong for the man to talk to her the way he did. With tears rolling down, she said, "I thought they were supposed to be soft spoken because the people calling are usually grieving." I told her, "An a**hole will be an a**hole. Let him go about his unhappy life and try your best to remember today is about Punch and all the great memories you had, and that moment when y'all finally found each other again." She had even confronted him, saying, "Sir, you don't have to speak to me that way. I'm 73 years old and I lost my friend." He continued to speak over her. When it comes to their abilities, I believe this place does a great job. Customer service...I guess, just make sure this guy stays in the morgue and doesn't touch the phone cause the guy made my elderly mother cry today.
