Evans Funeral Home & Memory Garden’s

This review is for the cremation facility — Northeast Georgia Crematory
My father’s cremation was Sunday, March 15, 2015. The person in charge that day had given all of us dirty looks. He had this look of disgust on his face as all of our family and friends gathered around the crematory. He should know that there are plenty of religions out there and not only whatever it is that he believes in. The funeral service held for my father was a Buddhist ceremony. We had Buddhist Monks, Honorary Monks, and Nuns that day to bless my father. It was rude of him to give us that look of disgust. If anything, he should look in the mirror and see the disgusting man that he is for the actions he showed us that day.
Everything was rushed. My father was rushed onto the rolling table and when we asked him to stop to let the Buddhist Monks do their blessing for my father, the disgusting man had this look of disappointment on his face. As that was completed, he made it clear that only the wife and children of the deceased were allowed into the crematory. When they pushed my father into the crematory, my younger sister asked that my father’s head goes in first. Yep, another look of disgust from the guy. They rotated my father and tells my sister to move (in a rude manner) so that she doesn’t get hit by the table. When all of that is done, my dad gets shoved into the cremation unit, the door gets closed and the button is pushed. We were all confused as to what just happened. We didn’t even get a chance to say our last goodbyes to him.
My sister asked if the cremation unit was just warming up and the guy tells her that it was all done and that was it. We should have been the ones to push that button, let alone been able to say our final goodbyes. As we stood there watching, the guy in charge whispers something to this other guy standing next to him and they both laugh. You do not know how angry I was at that moment.
As we walked out of the cremation room, all of our relatives were confused as to why it was quick. We told them what happened and they were all angry. The guy in charge left to the office and shut the door. Him doing that proves that he knew he was wrong for what he did. He would not come out to apologize or anything.
We will not be using the cremation facility going forward and will make sure others of different beliefs, background, etc be aware of the disgust that will be given to them if the cremation facility continues to have ignorant employees.
