Arbaugh-Pearce-Greenisen Funeral Home

I am so saddened that I have been lied to by the funeral home director right to my face of a simple request. I asked him before I left NC how much would it cost to have two laminated obituaries made, he said that there would be NO cost to me. Well I made it up to Ohio the following week and still no progress of the laminates. So I wrote down my address and handed it to him directly he said that he would mail them to me, still a month later NO laminates. So I also have called the funeral home 4 times, NO return call to me from the funeral home at all. It’s a shame that the director lied to me and couldn’t even DO one simple thing. I strongly expressed how much it would mean to me and my mother to have the laminates of our cousin, but that obviously didn’t mean nothing to the director. Shame on incompetence of this funeral home.

Recently my Grandfather on my Mom’s side passed away and we traveled to Ohio for the funeral. It was the first time I had been back since I was 17 and it had to be on a bad note that it happened.
I have been blessed to have only been to a few funerals in my life but this was the first person that I really knew and had family ties to.
I was actually really impressed with this Funeral home and the professional appearance of the family that ran it. I am pretty sure they knew my Grandparents and went to church with them.
I am guessing that the building was a converted house from a long time ago as it felt more like a home than a business and you were there for an event rather than something sad. Everyone was very courteous and helpful even as we carted around our 3 kids.
I in my own way have a great respect for this business and what they are able to do.
It’s funny that a place like this with its finality and ending would make you realize more clearly that life is so short and a beautiful precious gift, don’t waste it, make it count.
