Chris Starling took excellent care of my dad during his burial. He also made sure we had everything we needed. I hope I never have to work with him again, but if I do, I will be in good hands.

This place is the best! I cannot give them enough praise. Somehow, they seem to know exactly how you are feeling. I lost my mom and my best friend on May 7th at 11:55 am. this year. Somehow, I held it together. Mostly because of the respect these people know how to treat you with. Top notch group of people here at Gateway.

My aunt was in Hospice before she pass. She was very meteculous person. In her final days, she had a contract written to sell her home. Orchestrated where certain belonging would go an to whom she wished them to go to. And booked her own funeral with this funeral home. Thinking it was paid in full so her grieving family could concentrate on their feelings instead of everything that comes after. Unfortunately the cost of her funeral that she was lead to believe was paid in full continued to climb after her passing, to the tune of $15k. It went up $75 A DAY because our schedule and the funeral homes schedule (other funerals already booked) didn't line up. Why $75 a day for weeks? A STORAGE FEE that was not previously disclosed. Family should not be charged a storage fee for their loved ones. Your room has to remain cold every day for anyone that might pass away. That price shouldn't be passed on to the grieving family. Because the cost shot up so much, we weren't able to honor her final wishes to have her transferred to the same funeral service in our home town that did my grandparents funeral. Thank the Lord the Navy came to do the service with Military Honors which was beautiful. The small amount of what looked like blood on my aunts casket that my 16 YEAR OLD pointed out to me after the service was disturbing to say the list! We will not be using this Funeral home again. DONT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF GRIEVING FAMILIES
