Mcdermott Funeral Home

Follow up on Kim’s part to get my Father’s Death certificate which has been going on since 7÷15÷2015. To much time and excuses. You have been paid now follow through and stop being rude to my mother Phyllis when she calls.
My brother gave you the wrong SS# you said. I believe you transposed the number. When asked you said you got the correct SS# Browning. Get with it or else I will turn the news channel next

Cannot believe that McDermott has a two and a half stars.
Kim and Chris, owners of McDermott, were extremely kind and helpful and even went beyond to expedite the cremation of my brother so that I could get back to California.
They took care of so many of the numerous things that needed to be done for a military burial, including the military honors which included the American flag.

After grandma passed away at Nathan Adelson hospice, we had to decide whom to use within a few hours. We didn’t really have a clue as we didn’t get quite that far, didn’t expect her to go so fast.
I know most people don’t write about or research these services, but I’m all about the «more you know». It made me think I should probably write myself a contingency plan should I go unexpectedly.
I called around for information to several crematories so that my MIL didn’t have to. Based on competitive rates, a personal recommendation from our nurse and that it was a small business not a mass chain, we went with McDermott.
We did not stay for their pickup of her body, but the nurse says they’re within the hour. I don’t want to see that and neither did my fiancé or his mom so I have no idea what that is like.
The next day we all trekked over for my MIL to sign the paperwork needed. We were in a small, pretty simple office with a table, not funeral parlor like with models of caskets and urns strewn about. I kinda prefer it this way, not the whole sales show room type place. I am not sure if they have a viewing room as we weren’t having services or wanting to say goodbye again when she would be looking really dead.
It’s a husband and wife team and on the phone and in person we dealt with the wife side of the partnership. She was pretty pleasant and the process went as simple as it could be.
Grandma passed on a Wednesday, signed paperwork on Thursday and she was cremated on Friday which was her birthday (and my MILs so we celebrated for both of them), and Saturday morning she was home. We like efficiency since my MIL is a bit skeeved out by the idea grams was in a refrigerator and just wanted it done with so that she wasn’t in limbo.
I can’t speak for traditional burial services, but for cremation this place is great.

After an 8 month battle with Cancer my wife lost her battle. I made arrangements with Mcdermott the morning she passed. She passed that same evening and the owner came by his self and I introduced myself as the deceased husband and asked for 2 minutes to say good bye I did that and returned and he was gone without ever saying a word to me, the point of contact. They wanted family members to help carry the body and the viewing room can only have 3 people. He discussed this with the mourners and not me. This forced me to have the hospice nurse notify a good mortuary and say good bye to my wife a second time. I’m very happy with Desert Memorial. Everything happens for a reason and if they were that disrespectful to my wife before they had her who knows how they would of treated her when she was in their care. The worst part of this is they never apologized they made it seem as if it was my fault.
