Hampton Funeral Homes

I cannot say enough about the excellent service we received throughout the process of my Father's funeral arrangements. The planning, visitation, funeral service exceeded our expectations. While we worked primarily with Josh, all of the staff we encountered were friendly, professional, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure we were well accommodated and highly satisfied. Josh's patient, compassionate demeanor was greatly appreciated during this difficult time. They treated us, and most importantly, our Dad, with dignity and respect. Their facility is undoubtedly the nicest in the area. I highly recommend Hampton Funeral Home.

Recently my father passed away and the care and compassion that the Hampton Funeral Home showed my family was professional, but most of all humane! I would highly recommend anyone that has to deal with end of life to engage with the Hamptons, Tim, Randy, Josh & Pat were so good and gentle with my Mom and our family that they will always be high in our thoughts and prayers with their lives.

Before making the decision to go with this business, I called every single funeral home in the area who told me my families desires were not possible! I had the most wonderful experience with Hampton. I had a sibling die earlier this year and my family had very specific desires for the final arrangements. Not only did the staff listen to every single desire, but they fulfilled them perfectly. Make sure you ask questions, if you don't ask, they wont know your circumstances. This was a horrible death for our family and they made the process seamless.

Was less than impressed with the service provided with my father this last week. Starting with not even being offered to see my dad as they wheeled him out to not being offered a viewing or even the option to rent a casket for the viewing that I insisted on having. The reasoning was the amount of bruising on his face. I insisted on seeing him to say goodbye as they were taking him out of the house. At this point, they had to unzip the body bag and unwrap his head that was wrapped in a sheet. Then at the funeral home the next day, they knew he wished to be cremated and didn’t even ask what I wanted to do but instead gave us a quote for cremation and death announcement only. When I stated that I wanted a viewing and that I needed that for closure, they again said they did not recommend it because it was difficult to cover the bruising from the blood pooling after his death as he has fallen. I am in healthcare and am very aware of what happens to the human body after death and had had a thorough discussion with my 10 year old the evening before, explaining how the heart pumps blood and what happens when that stops. He then stated that we could do that and that they have a viewing table that they use as he is not being buried. We asked what that entailed and he said it’s for viewing and he would have a sheet over the lower half of his body. They literally had my dad on an autopsy table with a sheet that didn’t even cover the wheels! It looked absolutely ridiculous! They said that laminated obituaries would be provided yet didn’t bring them out until people had already left. When they provided services many years ago in Hanover to my grandfather, they left a rose on his pillow and covered him in a red velvet blanket while they wheeled him out, provided a rental casket and it was all together a totally different experience than what we received with my dad. We will not use this place again.

The people treated us including my mother-in-law (diseased) with the utmost respect and made the transition very smooth these people are extremely professional. If your in need of a funeral home this would be the place.
