Barnett Family Funeral Home

The Barnett family loved and support us at the death of our mother as if we are a part of their family. Such great attention and thoughtfulness to every detail. Thank you so much.

Absolutely the worst company. And maybe the worst people I’ve ever met in my life. I will sum it up like this. The younger owner, treated my grandmother casket with so much disrespect. They didn’t seal it properly and there were large scratches on both and when it was brought to his attention he looked my aunt and I dead in the eye and said it wasn’t his problem, because it wasn’t his casket. We would’ve bought it from them but they refused to find the caskets we wanted, so we bought beautiful and amazing caskets online for a fourth the price. And because they didn’t have what my mother wanted, they made her feel awful about wanting something patriotic for my veteran grandfather and something with pink roses for my lovey grandmother. Wouldn’t you want everything to be perfect if you lost your mom and dad?nAfter find the perfect caskets online, she had them delivered there, but they wouldn’t unbox it because it wasn’t theirs. Not only that but they were ugly on the phone and made my mother feel even more stressed in this time of grief. They could have been nice about it, said they couldn’t for legal reason. But no, they made my mom feel horrible about not buying the casket with them.nAnd on another note, upon strict instruction to make it a closed casket viewing, my family walked into mourn... with the caskets side open. And then I overheard him getting mad because it wasn’t his problem, as he begrudgingly fixed the caskets in front of me and my sister.nI was appalled, obviously, from all aspects. How is it that anything I said remotely okay... We lost both my grandfather and grandmother... and my family was in so much pain. To be treated so disrespectfully, and to be brushed off like that. It’s unforgivable.nnIf you’re reading this, chances are you lost someone you loved. And I am so sorry, I know this my be so hard on you. So I urge you to think about your mom, dad, grandmother, grandfather, sister, brother, son or daughter.... anyone you love. And think... how would you want them to be treated?nnI’ve put below a picture of the boy who did all these things. And treated my family the way he did.

Gus, Jake and Cathy were incredible, as was the rest of their staff. They handled my father's funeral with love, kindness and true compassion. And just the right touch of gentle humor when the family needed it. I don't think they make better funeral homes than the Barnett Family. Well worth the trip to Oskaloosa.

Very nice funeral home is Jefferson County.

Beautiful service for my husband
