Giddens-Reed Funeral Home

In July, 2017 my uncle was killed suddenly in an auto accident. The viewing was handled with great care and they accommodated our large family that arrived from across the nation. However, the following day when the funeral began to wind down and family were paying their final respects, I waited for my final chance to say goodbye to my uncle. There were 10 or so family members left in the chapel. Suddenly, we were snapped at to exit the church. "FAMILY ONLY!" I quietly responded, "We are family." I began to approach my uncle's casket with a lump in my throat and we were snapped at even louder this time, "Leave the chapel!" I never got to see my uncle before he was interred.
My perception: Grief is not handled with any sort of respect. Fear and hesitation to say goodbye is interpreted as loitering. I wish other patrons the best of service, but I felt that my review should be read.

No problem with anyone at this funeral home. Always kind,curtious and very understanding to family's needs. Never been told to leave.

Would recommend very friendly we had the chapel as long as we needed it for my daughter's memorial
