From the very beginning, Cattermole Funeral Home made our family feel my husband would be respected and treated with dignity. I was not aware of all the steps needed to bury a loved one, but Rob and Joan did it all for me and never once suggested buying an item I did not need or want. Having the availability of the Hospitality house next door to the funeral home was perfect for our guests who attended. I would encourage those who want a special place to take care of their loved ones to use Cattermole. The cost was much lower than other places we had researched and the service was over the top FANTASTIC.

Cattermole Funeral Home apparently is comfortable platforming libel in the obituaries that they host, and when other family members complain, they refuse to listen, act defensive and not accommodating, do not return phone calls, or cannot be reasonable at all. They give endless horrible excuses about how only the "next of kin" decides the obituary's content; then when other next of kin object they move the goalposts and say only the "person in charge" (a.k.a. the person who originally wrote the obituary) decides. No, the person in charge is the owner and he has now ignored the objections of myself, my mother and my aunt after we were very upset and distressed by the contents of an obituary written without our input, and horrifically misconstruing events to a level amounting to libel. I made it very clear we weren't asking to re-write everything, just to remove the one incredibly offensive and untrue paragraph (I have proof and many witnesses) and they still refuse. They also won't allow anyone else to comment on the obituary sharing their story, but the original author is allowed to post libel on Cattermole's website all she wants, apparently. Horrible to enable people to use an obituary of all things to platform their libelous claims, while shutting out all other relatives from the process.

When my husband, Eldon Allen, passed away. Cattermole walked me and my husband's family through the entire process. Jeff was able to complete the necessary paperwork for my husband to have his well deserved military flag, and had the veterans from the VFW Centralia chapter do the 21 gun salute. Cattermole was very professional, and did not hesitate to listen what we wanted for my husband, and the items he wanted to buried with. Thank you for being so comforting during our family's mourning.
