West Cobb Funeral Home & Crematory

These kind folks went above and beyond the call of duty in taking the best possible care of our family in our time of need. They gave us their time generously as we planned out different aspects of the funeral; even more importantly they didn’t try to pressure us with any hard sells like some other funeral homes that our family has had experiences. They are also up front with their prices on their website, unlike many other funeral homes, which helps the family to know what they are dealing with cost wise before coming in. We hope we aren’t in need of these sorts of services again for a very long time but if we are we know that these people will take loving care of us.

While we did not have any part with the planning of my sister-in-law’s funeral, I can’t rate how things were handled with my husband’s family during the planning process. However, I will give my two cents on how we were treated the day of my sister-in-law’s funeral.
This has only been my second funeral here in Georgia. These days many families are opting to go with «Celebration of Life» services, which is a great way to remember a loved one who has passed. While I don’t exactly understand some people’s definition of what they consider a Celebration of Life service, the service that was done was not done respectfully.
The minister who we believe to have been chosen by the funeral home bragged about himself and another service he recently did. He went on to mention the «big man», referring to my husband and how he must have needed a «special size wedding ring», during his speech about wedding rings and how they are all different. This was truly disrespectful, not only to my husband, but to me and his family. You don’t stand there talking about how you have a «man cave» and how your wife allowed you to get any TV you wanted and paint it any color you wish”. Paint a TV… really? Then go on to say what a wonderful job your wife did decorating your man cave. What does this have to do with my deceased sister-​in-​law?
When we arrived at the cemetery (perhaps you all do things differently down here), but to be rushed and tell the family «you can either choose to stay or leave and most people choose to leave», is completely disrespectful. Perhaps your crew doesn’t like to stay past 5 p.m. on a Friday, if this is the case maybe the funeral home should consider hiring people who are most appreciative of having a job and showing people respect during a time of loss.
I can go on and on, but right now my family and in-​laws are grieving. I really had to share my two cents about the way things were said during the Celebration of Life service. Words truly cannot describe how we all feel. I truly wish more respect from the preacher could have been shown to my sister-​in-​law and family.
I certainly hope that others have had a more positive experience then we did.

Although this service is one I wish I never needed, we found the West Cobb Funeral Home to be deeply attentive and very helpful as we dealt with the recent death of my father. We used both their cremation services and their space for a memorial service for my father. They answered all our questions patiently and thoughtfully, offered a wide range of services at what seemed like reasonable prices, didn’t charge extra for additional amenities, and made us feel comforted without being overbearing. We are grateful to have found this space and these people.
