Brewer & Sons Funeral Homes - Clermont Chapel — Local services in Clermont

Over $6,000 just to carry a casket to the gravesite and lower it???? Frankly, folks, this is highway robbery! My family was extremely disappointed with Brewer & Sons Funeral Home. We used them over 20 years ago when it was called by a different name, and that's the only reason why we called them this year. My brother in law's body had already been taken when we found out how much it would cost just to take the his body to the gravesite. And worst of all, they wanted ALL the money up front!!!! Talk about taking advantage of people at a bad time, knowing they have you over a barrell! The total cost of the funeral (my brother in law did not have life insurance. He died young) was almost $7,000--and that was with no service, no embalming. That was the cost of storing the body, a casket and lining, taking the body to the grave site and menial things. It is, indeed, highway robbery. And greed of the worst kind, to be taking advantage of people during grief. This DID NOT include embalming or a service at the funeral home. That would have cost thousands more!!! So we had a closed casket "service" at the grave site. (And note: The CITY digs the hole the body will be buried in--NOT the funeral home!!!! So that wasn't even included in the cost!) Then to top it off, three of the funeral homes "representatives" made their imposing presence known, in full view, behind another brother in law, who was giving the service, with impatient looks on their faces, as if impatiently waiting for the quick service to be over. No smiles. No invisibility. Shifting from foot to foot, I was expecting one of them, at any moment to look at his or her watch. They were also rude, I hear, when my in laws were discussing business with them. Run from this place as far as you can run, and go to the nearest funeral home in the opposite direction of them. If this is the way to get rich quick, folks, then I'm in the...

In one of the saddest times of my life after losing my mom, I have found incredible comfort in working with everyone at Brewer & Sons. I truly can't thank everyone enough at both the Brooksville and Clermont locations for being so collaborative and communicative throughout the entire process. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend anyone who has lost someone dear to them, or that wants to proactively look at services, to consider Brewer & Sons. The Director truly knows how to support families in their time of need. And if you are lucky enough to work with her. They truly have a shining star named Maria S. at their Clermont location. Maria is honestly the most nurturing and caring person I have ever encountered in a service related position. I don't know how I could have actually gotten through this without her. If you decide you need these types of services, I hope you get to have the same great experience that I desperately needed after my mom's...

Steve, Jamie and Maria has been very helpful. Steve was patient and at the same time humorous as he walked us through the details and all the paperwork needed after my husband's passing. It definitely helped to take some of the edge away as we went through this painful process of my husband's unexpected passing. There was a hiccup with the death certificate but Maria was on top of following up with that and I'm truly grateful that got resolved. They took very good care of my husband while he was in their care. The service was beautiful and everyone who attended had the same comments. All the details were reviewed and asked for my approval - Jamie was assisting on all these. Definitely recommend them - very compassionate and treated us...
