Fry Memorial Chapel

My mother recently passed away on March 10, 2015.
She had signed up with a pre-​need policy with Fry Memorial Chapel.
Darren Carter who is a funeral director at Fry Memorial did a wonderful job in handling my mothers case. He was extremely kind, caring, and compassionate. He went out of his way to make sure that all our needs were met. He is definitely a «people person» and a great asset to the business.
I highly recommend Darren and the entire staff at Fry Memorial Chapel.

When you have to face the inevitable, Fry Memorial is the best at giving your loved ones the respect they deserve when being laid to rest. Several grandparents and my uncle’s services were handled by Fry… Then our mother passed away August 2014. There was no question as to where the services would be held.
Don assisted us with my mom’s service, and he was excellent. He made us laugh when we didn’t think we could. He was a breath of fresh air. We felt no pressure as far as pricing goes. In fact, he didn’t even mention price during the initial visit.
We had found a beautiful casket online and had already made the decision to purchase it and when we told him that, that was it. There was no discussion about changing our minds.
After the services, there was paperwork to handle regarding life insurance, etc and Joelleen was very helpful. I don’t remember the other staff members that assisted, but everyone at Fry will forever be in our debt and hold a special place in my heart. Even the two gentlemen that came to pick up our mother at home were in suits and EXTREMELY respectful when handling our mother. The process they used to prepare her for transport to Fry was beautiful. It wasn’t just putting her in a bag and leaving — they had a special cloth and sheets and were just ginger when touching her. I was overcome with grief, but I was so impressed with their professionalism.
Thank you, Fry Memorial, for everything.

This funeral parlor is really nice and very clean. My grandparents and uncle are buried here and for the services I attended for the services were handled professionally and with sympathy when I lost my loved ones. Finding there graves is really easy and it’s always open and grass maintained. They also leave the cemetery open all the time and never see any savory characters. Nice area of town and nice people. Definitely recommend.

I can’t say enough about this place. I’ve attended funerals here in the past but never had to deal with the personnel directly. They were all so caring and made the whole process go so smooth. We had a longer funeral than originally planned and the staff were so accommodating. We mainly worked with Kim but then Don who prepared our dad’s body and also did the cremation was so sweet and caring and had a lot of compassion. He filled several urn’s for us. We cannot say enough about this Fry Memorial Chapel in Tracy. Our community is lucky to have a great memorial chapel.

My son passed away an I had no idea what to do. We had transplant people contacting us, an we hadn’t even been able to see the body yet. I had no idea what to do or where to start. So, I called up the only place I knew of in the area. Death is awkward and difficult, and when it is your child, it is a million times worse. Joellene was wonderful. She explained to me the process of everything, and was so helpful to my husband and I. Without her, I don’t know if I could have gotten anything done. Pricing was fair. It’s a smaller price for children. Of course you don’t have money set aside for the possible death of your child, so they were very patient with us for payment.
It has been 3 ½ months and I had to call and ask a question, and they immediately k we who I was and asked how my family and I were holding up.
I had nothing but great experiences with them… given the situation. I am so thankful for Fry Memorial Chapel.

Fancy on the outside, generic on the inside. We were thoroughly disgusted with Fry Memorial. Fry Memorial quoted us a ridiculous amount. They also told us that our brother would not have an open casket because he was a donor. In addition, they would make us wait 2 weeks for the services. Although the gentleman that assisted us was clearly rushed/busy…we did not like the way he tried to force an expensive package down our throats so he could get back to what he was doing. The moment I stated «we have other options» he was clearly done wasting his time with us. Very unprofessional.

No one likes to think or talk about death, but in quoting my Dad; «the only thing your guaranteed in life is death» so sooner or later, like it or not, your going to have to deal with the issue like I had to do recently when I lost my mother.
Fry’s Funeral Home was chosen for several reasons. The most important being, they offer and have their own on-​site crematory which IMO makes a huge difference when your planning out the funeral logistics like travel and the service location.
Without going into the details, I want to thank: Lucy Borba, Jere Nicolay, Donald Brager and Denise Edwards for your professionalism, hard work and attention to detail. You we’re a huge help in easing my families stress as we transitioned from routine days and into the reality of dealing with a death. You are all godsends.
