Benton-Glunt Funeral Home

I’ve had to go to Benton-​Glunt funeral home three times in the last 20 years for the services of three very close family members, all passing away in different circumstances — one completely unexpected, unplanned and tragic in every way. Each time, our family was completely taken care of, from the moment that very sad phone call is made to well after the service when flowers and personal items are brought to the family. The staff ask the right questions, they listen to what you want, and you feel like every staff person is there because they truly want to be, not because they have to be, not because it’s just a job. Every phone call is returned, every email is answered, often within seconds, and even on weekends and week nights. They are ready for whatever emotion you are going through at whatever time you experience it. If your loved one has pre-​planned his or her funeral, there will be no nickel and diming of expenses — you will get straight answers about what’s been paid for, what hasn’t, what’s been planned, what hasn’t, what is included and what isn’t — they don’t dance around subjects. I will say that the more YOU can put plans for services in writing, the more you can say what it is you want, and the earlier you can get photos and videos to Benton-​Glunt, the more they can be there for you for the things you might have forgotten or need last minute (and you WILL forget things). Another thing I’ve been really impressed with is how they change with the times — they have video and online options for remembrances that were unheard of 20 years ago. If you’ve seen my other Unilocal reviews, you know I’m stingy with stars — but Benton-​Glunt deserves the FULL five stars.
