Everly-Wheatley Funeral Home

I cannot praise Everly-​Wheatley Funeral Home (Alexandria VA) enough regarding their professionalism, their warm and caring demeanor and their ability to remain supportive when additional requests are presented just prior to… or even during the viewing of a deceased family member.
From the first meeting with the staff — to the day of the wake, the staff was always mindful of the importance that a solum and dignified viewing was to my mother-​in-​law when my father-​in-​law passed. When the viewing turned into a family reunion with food and drink, they didn’t bat an eye — but rather designated an appropriate area for that social element while maintaining the solemnity of viewing.
When you need the services of a funeral director and a venue to conduct the final tribute to a loved one, I hope you will consider Everly-​Wheatley as an excellent choice for that important ceremony.

Every-​Wheatley handled the memorial and cremation services for my mother, who died unexpectedly and left little in the way of last wishes. Jennifer Snodgrass, the manager at Everly, was incredibly kind, compassionate, patient, and helpful during that worst, most confusing week of my life. She never rushed us, she was prompt in replying to questions via phone and email, and she explained everything thoroughly and in a caring manner, offering advice when asked and listening attentively. The chapel was set up exactly as requested on the day of the service, and we were invited to come as early as we liked to arrange the flowers and photos. Jennifer brought in extra tables and pedestals and even helped us arrange the flowers tastefully. A member of her staff collected the cards from the flower arrangements and noted on the back of each card which arrangement it had come from; this really helped when we were writing thank-​you notes. After the service, we were given plenty of time to pack up at our own pace and to visit with friends and family. Calm, caring, and professional: exactly what we needed and what we got from Everly.

I have attended 3 funerals at Beverly Wheatley in the last 18 mos. Each one was worse than then the last. Last year a friend had a brain aneurysm and her skull was crushed on the right side with matted blood still on her hair. The staff (if you can find them) were rude and uncaring. A person named April violated confidentiality by discussing private conversations with the deceased family. She also lied about how I could obtain a death certificate. Last week there was a viewing only. Other were 2 small setee couches and 2 folding chairs .The deceased body looked like a clown. It looked like 5 pounds of wax over his face. His moustache shaved with each side going in a different direction. His hands were filthy it looked as though his hands had been soaked in motor oil. This funeral home was originally a family business with a good reputation. Since it was bought out by a large company. Its gone down hill ever since. I wouldn’t reccomend this business to my worse enemy. They are a greedy company who takes advantage of grieving families. Run don’t walk away from this disgusting funeral home. Help spread the word… Eveverly Wheatly funeral home isn’t fit for a rat!!!
