My nephew, my sister-in-law and I planned my sister's funeral there for August 8. We were treated very well during the planning and all questions were answered to our satisfaction. My issue was that our visitation was to begin at 2 pm, however the previous funeral that day lasted longer than was anticipated and we were unable to even get into the parking lot at our scheduled time family time of 130 pm. The family was allowed prior viewing, but not until 2 pm. Guests were coming in and we had to tell them not to go in yet. It was confusion. The staff was very apologetic, but this should not have happened. It was a scheduling issue. Also, there was not a designated area for the family to greet the guests - awkward. Also, my sister's make up was orange. She was not disfigured, so there was no reason to add so much paint. She did not look like herself at all. She was propped in the casket at an angle that had her chin on her chest causing her to look very full and thick through her neck. She was not a heavy person. Her hair was a mess. Stringy and dirty looking. While the price was wonderful, I was not thrilled with the outcome. Jayne Brown

The staff at Newcomer's are wonderful! We had my brother's Visitation here on 3/17, and the evening exceeded our expectations. As far as the staff's attention to detail, making sure they were around to help us throughout the evening, and assisting us at the end of the night. This was a hard time, and they made it so easy to plan, and gave us guidance while planning, and up until the night came. Though a funeral home is not a place anyone looks forward to contacting, I highly recommend reaching out to them to plan your Loved One's funeral/visitation/memorial.

My Mom's funeral services were held at Newcomer. The "meeting process" to finalize everything was top-notch! We met w/ Maria. We didn't feel rushed to make any decisions or felt like we were in a hurry to get things set up/finalized. Maria was patient w/ us + walked us through everything. The day of, the Entire staff was accommodating & sincere. Marty was Fantastic as well. Thank You, to Everyone there. It Truly made our day pass smoothly ❤

Our initial meeting went very well but the service was so disappointing. My main concern was that my husband looked nice and the music was loud enough. My husband needed a haircut and a shave and they didn’t do either. I gave them pictures so they could see how to cut his hair. The music was too soft. The video was playing through the funeral service, it was a distraction. The pastor smelled like cigarettes. An employee brought her baby to work. I wanted to honor my husband and I feel like I failed him. Would not recommend them..

They messed up our entire funeral services, from being late to the church and at the last moment tell us we have to cancel the service because of their mistakes. I would never recommend the to any grieving family
