“A Heartfelt Tribute to Franklin & Downs

First and foremost, embarking on this journey has been incredibly challenging. Initially, my family chose to work with another well-known establishment, but our consultation experience there was a mess. Their pricing did not align with what the consultant conveyed, leading us to feel as though they were exploiting families in grief. That’s when we turned to Franklin & Downs.

With heavy sorrow in my heart, I cannot express enough how profoundly grateful we are to Yoaly, the first person we met at Franklin & Downs, and her entire team for the exceptional care they provided for my dad and our family. From the beginning, she made us feel heard, valued, and genuinely cared for. At no point did she make us feel mistreated or taken advantage of; instead, she welcomed us as if we were part of her own family, communicating clearly and compassionately.

Moments That Touched Our Hearts

Several moments truly moved us:

●During the interview, Yoaly talked about who should receive my father's cross, we began bickering (slightly-sisters), Yoaly quickly intervened, choosing to give each of us one instead. ? This stopped us on out tracks.

●At the viewing my dad had quite the gathering of his close loved ones, extened family and friends. Although most of loved ones needed to leave by a certain time in order for us to spend that private moment with our dad, Alyssa treated our extended family with the kindness they deserved. She graciously allowed us the space to say our goodbyes, and her tenderness was truly noticed & appreciated.

●Another memorable moment occurred during the drive past my parents' house. The driver, Jonathan, stopped the hearse, opened the back, and placed a piece of my dad's tree with him on his casket.

There is a great deal more I can add but all of these thoughtful gestures left us in awe and showed us the depths of compassion this team (Yoaly, Alyssa an Jonathan) extends to the families they serve.

During such a difficult time, we are profoundly thankful that we chose Franklin & Downs for my dad’s eternal rest.

Please accept our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who played a part in honoring his memory with such dignity and care. ???

Thank you,
Rocio Rocha and The Villapudua Family“

“Whitehurst-Norton-Dias Funeral Service were so caring and did an incredible job of getting us through this difficult time with my dad’s passing. Angie and Laura were so helpful and took care of every detail . Angie even helped with the small gathering after the grave side service. Our family is very thankful for all they did .“

“Jon, Amber and the team did amazing in building my parents headstone! The pictures were beautiful, the writing and spacing clean and pronounced. The Assyrian scripture was amazingly done. It was set up and installed about 4-6 weeks while others gave me significantly longer timelines. I highly recommend Forever in Stone and the kindness, patience, and craftsmanship of this team.“

“Veronica made the visit pleasant. Explained everything very clearly. Left feeling confident with the decisions made. Easy to work with.“

“Any sudden loss is devastating. No one knows how to deal with all the planning after the loss. We depend on the people running the memorial service and the cemetery. We initially were going with someone else, but were not quite comfortable with the price and area & service. It was outrageous cost but then again we didn't know any better. We decided to visit "Acacia cemetery" they were amazing & had a beautiful area for our loved one. The maintenance and upkeep is also great. The best part was the pricing. It was almost 3 times less & it included everything. Every time I visit the site, I feel a calmness & peace. The only thing that bothers me, is seeing people be disrespectful by walking on loved ones graves & markers. There should be some ground rules put in place to respect our loved ones.“

“Nadya. How can I explain the wonderful that is Nadya? We went to Lakewood due to a very unexpected death of our 19 year old. Nadya, in all of her infinite wisdom, was exactly the person we needed at the most horrific time in our life. We chose a most complicated burial and Nadya navigated us through it with such ease and knowledge. She knew exactly what we needed at the right times. She was professional, comforting, and consistent and she really advocated for us. She had so many options and alternatives for us to choose from when we needed it.
When we need burial services again, we will not hesitate to call Nadya. We cannot recommend her enough and we will forever be grateful for everything she did for us.“
