Springs Funeral Services, The Reviews (1)

Certainly, I'm grieving over the loss of a loved one, but that is not what troubles me here. What troubles me is that the staff at Springs Funeral Services tried to take advantage of my fragile emotional state shortly after the death of my beloved partner to make more money. They seem to have a "company policy" which is, to my mind, both unethical and offensive.

My beloved partner Jerold [redacted] died of non-Hodgkins lymphoma with leptomeningial spread on September 9, 2015. I was not able to be at his bedside at the time of his death. I returned home a day or two later to conclude arrangements for his cremation. I wanted to see Jerry one last time before his cremation. I had seen him deteriorating two weeks before his death and had a pretty good idea of what I might see if I were allowed to see his body. In addition, I am a Certified Death Midwife and a CNA, and wanted to have the experience of seeing a body a few days after death. I had both a personal and a professional interest in seeing Jerry's body.

I was firmly told that it was impossible for me to see his body without some amount of embalming, and that would cost $450. Point One: Embalming is against the Jewish religion in which both Jerry and I were brought up. Point Two: there is absolutely no reason for embalming. I argued with the representative for a while, but in my grief-stricken state, I was unable to press my arguments as far as they should have gone, and finally had to back down.

I chose Springs Funeral Services in the first place because the owners came to our [redacted] ([redacted]) and expressed an open attitude toward the issues we were addressing at the [redacted], among them the unnecessary and expensive services peddled at funeral homes. I regret to say that I will no longer recommend Springs Funeral Services since it has been revealed to be not much different from the rest of the predatory funeral business.
