A family member of mine passed away suddenly and was put in the care of Pendleton funeral home. I along with my other sibling are out of state which made this even more difficult. The initial contact with Pendleton was thru phone as we were traveling. Immediately they were very respectful for our situation and put no pressure on us to handle the arrangements giving us time to settle in from our travels. We worked with Brad once we arrived to make the necessary arrangements. He was very compassionate and gave us the time to make the right decisions for our loved one. Brad did not upsell on anything and truly respected us and what our loved one’s wishes were. Additionally both of us were in a bit of a time crunch as we had travel plan to our homes. They were able to accommodate this and expedite parts of the process so we could be there to create a sense of closure. I am extremely grateful for Brad and everyone at Penderson for their professionalism and compassion as it went a long way in getting us thru this very hard time.

DO NOT use Pederson. After a long family history of using Pederson we will NEVER use them. Tim did not listen to the widow. Instead, he took direction from someone else (without the widow's permission) and turned people away from the visitation stating it was "for immediate family only" when that was not true. The level of disrespect showed to the widow, the family, and friends of the deceased is unconscionable! People drove hours only to be turned away for no reason. The contract, check, and funeral plans were all signed by the widow. The owners of Pederson need to sell to someone who is ethical and caring! Please do not put your family through this.

My mom pre planned her funeral, but she had to be transported from Missouri back to Michigan. We were able to make one call and Pederson funeral home did the rest. So amazing. I worked mostly with Tim. He was so kind and professional. He took care of everything we needed since I was in Missouri. He made the entire process go smoothly. We are eternally grateful.
