Howell Funeral Home

Outstanding! !! I was so impressed with this funeral home. They definitely took care of me, especially under the circumstances of losing my father. Everything was PERFECTION! Mr. Willie is an amazing man along with his staff. I was just so impressed and I felt like I didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING! Thank you again to the staff at Howell funeral home.

I called to see how I can find a stone angel for a departed loved one at the wishes of my sister in law, whose father passed away. An older man, very grumpy on the phone, said he had no idea where anyone could get something like that. Very strange as I would think they would at least recommend nearby floral shops or stores that people could call. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 as I felt that he may have just got up on the wrong side of the bed today… but when someone loses a loved one… I’d expect a gentle, friendly, helpful voice on the other end of the phone from a funeral home… that did not happen.

No stars if Unilocal would let me. This place is horrible. Worst funeral home ever. Staff are rude and they have absolutely no human decency. The staff run their microwave during the service and we could hear everything. Inconsiderate and its just plain messed up.

First off, thank you Mrs. C!!!
Now we didn’t use Howell’s «services». A freelance funeral coordinator (will just say Mrs. C in case she doesn’t wish to be announced throughout Unilocaldom) named Mrs. C helped my mom throughout the funeral process. But she used Howell’s location for her clients. Many in the K community knows of her services especially the pastors who are within my dad’s circle so we trusted her. It’s a small small world when it comes to K folks.
Anywho we decided to use Mrs. C and her usual spot since it looked clean and didn’t smell funky. Some of the local ones in moco are very old and smelled funky — not something to note during the actual day. Yes it’s far far away from our usual moco area but how often will we be saying farewell to dad??? Exactly.
Choose from either a large chapel area or a small room for standing. I believe they offer folding seats for the small room but I believe most opt for the large chapel. We had a very special friend sing and play the keyboard piano so we were set with that. You may want to inquire about music if you don’t have anyone who can play. I’m glad mom chose the large chapel since we had such lovely flower arrangements created by Mrs. C and several close family friends.
This is a family establishment and I believe I saw generation after generation of male faces while we were waiting for our guests.
It’s a pleasant entrance before making a left onto the chapel area. Our service was for about an hour so we were pleased that the center and back area was spacious for our guests to sit/​stand afterwards.
I’m not sure if it was Mr. Howell’s son but the duo who came to bring my dad here during the late late night of ⁴⁄₂₈ were very professional and discreet. When they came to the rehab center after 2am they came very alert and compassionate. They expressed their sincere sorrow for the loss of my dad and they were very gentle with his body when they placed him on the gurney. That damn f&^%*#@ cancer made him nothing but skin and bones… but they were über gentle with his fragile 71 year old body. BTW my dad would’ve been 72 on May 8^th… but anywho.
From the beginning to the end Mrs. C and Howell FH followed through with all that was promised. I’m not sure what HFH offers independently but they worked as a team with Mrs. C.

Very inconsiderate of our situation when I called for information. I had to hang up on the man I was speaking to not only because of his tone but also in the way he was handling our phone call. Please save yourself time and emotional energy by not calling this establishment.
