Faith Memorial Chapel Funeral Services — Local services in Bessemer

If possible, then I’d give them zero stars. My father spent half of his life serving this country in uniform and for the government as a civilian. After he died from COVID in January of 2021, my family trusted this funeral home to “care” for him during our time of bereavement. My father was to receive military honors at the gravesite and it was never scheduled by Korie Anderson. Thankfully, another man was being buried on the same day and was to receive military honors; the military color guard was already onsite and the cemetery counselor asked them if they would perform the honors for my father. They graciously did and my father received what he EARNED, from his country. Faith memorial didn’t inform me that there wouldn’t be any assistance unloading the casket from the hearse, and they arrived late. My father's elderly sisters had to sit in the cold and rain while waiting on Faith Memorial to do what a funeral service is supposed to do. They were unorganized and careless. The hearse driver called Korie Anderson, at my request, to ask him why the military color guard wasn’t there when we arrived and I was told that his answer was “I don’t know how that happened.”

People, be careful when choosing a funeral home service. My father braved the Jim Crow south growing up and still served an ungrateful nation that denied him equal rights. He served his country for 41 years, yet he couldn’t get a decent homegoing due to the usual suspects being unorganized. Additionally, they misspelled my family name when they handled my mother's burial 6 years ago. They had all of the information needed, but they still screwed it up. I called them to talk with the President of the company, Joe Barrow…..no return call, no apology, nothing! There’s no excuse for their pathetic...

They took good care of my mom’s body and made her looked beautiful at the viewing. She looked like she was sleeping. Thank you for that. However I don’t appreciate the lady not being upfront about an economy package when we first asked her about it. Very unprofessional and money hungry. Also I don’t not appreciate the dark skinned women with the short hair and glasses in the front office for being rude and unprofessional. Her alone will make me not return for any future business. Ms Jones and Cathy were the sweetest ones there thank you ladies but to the dark skinned lady you please be careful how you talk to grieving people. We are going through...
