Dignity Memorial Funeral HomesReviews of catawbamemorialpark.com

DO NOT use this company, I was an employee that suffered a traumatic injury while at work, they refuse to help or take care of my life long injury. They do not care about doing the right thing, even after proving they were negligent on fixing a piece of equipment I warned them about multiple times. If they can't take care of a living and breathing human, how much do you think they care about your loved ones. They would rather refuse to pay my salary and get the surgery I desperately need, than do the right thing. So disappointed

The compassion helpline is inconsistent and the ppl are not well trained at all. They don’t know what to do and tell you that you have a time limit and that you can’t talk that much. Such a poor service

This company employs an individual named Lisa Gourgues who thinks the attempted assassination of President Trump would've been better had the shooter not missed. Her exact quote from Social Media "I'm grieving that the shooter didn't have better aim". We can only hope Dignity Memorial doesn't support such a person who wishes for another human being to be murdered but thus far mums the word from Dignity. Silence kills folks. Silence is complacency if not a show of direct solidarity with their employee's dismal viewpoint. This is a VERY large corporation as well. You have choices of funeral providers and DON'T have to use a Dignity franchisee. In fact you're likely going to save money using a smaller more local funeral home that doesn't wish their political opponents to be assassinated.

Unfortunately, my sisters and I had a pretty awful experience from start to finish. Poor communication and very insensitive. No one should have to deal with the added stress that was created by Nunnelee Funeral Chapel of Sikeston, MO. Our mother was an employee of Dignity Memorial (KCMO) for several years and her services were prearranged. We are shocked that this was considered compassionate or acceptable.

Can't delete the review so

Both of my parents are buried at Laurel Land on Crowley Road. A "homeless" encampment has allowed to remain on the empty lot next door and the drug addicted tweaked out campers come through the fence, steal flowers and memorials and decorate their tents with the stolen items. Management does not care. Grounds are not kept up, which is part of your payment when you purchase a gravesite. I have complained to the office and get a royal run around when all they have to do is phone the Fort Worth Police and have the encampment removed. The "vagrants" are male, with multiple running vehicles, not women and children. The entire area is filled with drugged out people on the street, in all directions. I drove onto the property to see how many people were living there and found multiple tents, evidence of meth cooking etc. Don't put your loved ones there. If I had to do it over again, I would never use dignity memorial.

If Dignity of Volusia wants to market to people of color they need to hire a makeup artist for people of color. My mother, who was a fair skinned woman was made up by someone who knew nothing about blending makeup for people of color. My son, took a picture of her on his visit before her makeup was done. My visit was after the makeup was done. My fair skinned mother was about 10+ shades darker than her regular color. She was so dark it was insulting. When my son and I complained we were further insulted by being told the difference in our pictures was the lighting. If Dignity was to market and serve people of color they need to understand that we come in we various tones. What they offered to do was add blush like that would lighten her complexion. Before they would fix the situation they continued to offer up terrible and insensitive suggestions.

As a former employee, I do NOT recommend ANY Dignity Memorial funeral home/cemetery. It is a corporate owned entity that prioritizes money over all else. The preneed sales is cut throat and somewhat akin to a used car lot. Funeral Directors get bonuses for upselling. That means, even if you prearrange your funeral, they will try to upsell your loved ones at the time of need. Also, be aware that if you prearrange your funeral with them and move, you MUST use another Dignity Memorial funeral home if available. If you don't, they will keep 20%-30% of your prearrangement money.
