They also have a screen where one can play a video about the deceased person. That takes some advance planning, for which we did not have time. But others might.
My mother-in-law didn't want an open coffin, but she did not tell me, so I had it open. She told me later she was glad the coffin was open, because they did such fine work with the make-up, that my husband looked wonderful. This really and truly comforted her. She's 91 and has gone to many funerals and usually does not like the way the dead people look.
My husband died and we weren't expecting him to. We took his body here for the wake transport to the church for funeral service.
We hardly had any people come to the wake, as we have not lived in the area long. Still, the staff at this funeral home was very respectful of us. even though we weren't big shots. My husband received about six floral arrangements, and the staff set them up very nicely.
The funeral cost about 7,500, but that is what funerals cost these days. I don't think you'd find the price much less, if you had to do it at the last minute. I've got a terminal illness and have time to plan my funeral. I will consider Rockefeller Funeral Home in my research.
I only wish I had made use of the organ to play some of our favouite hymns. I don't know what the charge for that service would have been, but in the back of the room, an organ was available. We only waked my husband for one evening.
They were very good about driving us to the church. We only had my car with the five of us, but still, we felt like we were in a funeral posession, behind their hearse and car.
I do computer work for the owners. Great guys to do business with.
