J Gilbert Purse Funeral Home

I highly recommend this funeral home. I needed to arrange funeral services in advance for my father who was on hospice and I contacted the local funeral home in our small town that our family had always gone to. I was shocked at what the local funeral home quoted me to bury my father. After getting the price quote from the local funeral home, I mentioned this price quote to my neighbor that I couldn't believe how much funerals cost since my father only had a small life insurance policy. My neighbor suggested to me that I should call Purse in Adrian because they had used Purse for their family member and said they were great and Purse was almost half the cost of the local funeral home in town. I then called Purse and spoke to Alan and he assured me that I could have a funeral like my father wanted at Purse for $3000. Alan then told me that he would have Gary the funeral director call me to confirm the pricing which Gary did. I am grateful that my neighbor told me about Purse and I want to do the same. Purse's service is awesome and their pricing is definitely a lot less than other local funeral homes. Thank you Alan & Gary!

Called into this funeral home as an out of town funeral home needing assistance in Detroit Metro. The funeral director who answered was extremely helpful in providing support services and advising through the service details needed to forward the deceased to our funeral home in the Metro Washington DC area. Although I am not a family in need, I am a professional funeral director with two decades experience as an owner operator of my firm. I am a first generation funeral director, meaning my father was not a funeral director. These folks are second generation funeral directors, meaning that they grew up in the industry and are lifetime funeral directors who pass that trade down to their families. Thank you for your extraordinary service in this industry and remarkable assistance in my client's time of need. - a professional on the field.

We were very pleased with Gary and the staff at Purse Funeral Home in Adrian. I'm so glad we chose this funeral home and this location. It was the first time we have had a funeral here. Gary, the owner was very nice, informative and so accommodating. He worked around our schedule, which was nice, giving us plenty if time to make decisions for songs, memory cards, Moms clothing, book marks, etc. So many decisions! We really did appreciate him letting us, have our Mothers funeral exactly the way we wanted, and we were very specific with everything. We had lots of pictures and songs for a slideshow, and wanted bookmarks made, which he did without hesitation. The funeral home was nice, clean, and the price was really good. Thank you Gary again, for helping us during this difficult situation.nThe Hein-Dusseau Family

I can’t say enough about this funeral home ud83dude22❤ufe0f.nMy brother recently passed at a young age which obviously we did not prepare for mentally or financially. LnMy mother has some serious medical conditions that prevent her from being able to drive or fully understand or remember most things.nIn addition to all of the emotional stress of losing a loved one at a young age, planning and my brothers primary decision maker being unable to make sound decisions , I live hours away. To make matters worse, there were several hiccups if you will when it came to my mother filling out the paperwork which left me even more sad and stressed (never a good combination.)nWhen I first called about the cremation services (we couldn’t afford a funeral) I was treated with the utmost kindness and heartfelt condolences.nThe paperwork was sent several times with flaws. With every flaw “Paul” was very patient and made sure that it was done correctly and never became impatient.nAfter the cremation was completed, I received heart felt Sympathy from “Gary.” Gary agreed you meet me to pick up the ashes on a weekend however I was unable to make it due to work and other pressing issues and decided to have the ashes delivered via. Postal mail (yes, I know that’s a horrible way to receive a loved ones remains.)nA short time after sending my mother address “Gary” contacted me to say that he would personally deliver the remains to my mother at her house.nThat’s not something I expected but I will appreciate for years to come.nAs I said, my brother was cremated so I don’t know anything about the services. However, I do know heartfelt sympathy when I see it and if the services are catered to like a cremation, I can assure you that you will feel like an angel lifted the sadness and stress during a loss.nThank You Paul and Gary ❤ufe0f❤ufe0f, your kindness and huge hearts will be spoken of forever.

I cannot begin to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude over the service at Purse Funeral Home. My Dad's passing was emotional on its own, but during the stay at home order, it is was more difficult as we were not able to be with family and friends. Purse Funeral Home went above and beyond any of our expectations to ensure our family's needs were met in this unusual time. The peace it gave to my family will always be remembered and appreciated.
