This is in regards to Thomas-Yelverton Funeral Home in Wilson NC. This was the worst experience that my brother and sister and I ever had. Our fathers funeral was held here. My first cousin Todd Greene has written a review as it was his father’s funeral! Todd Greene is a employee of this funeral home! He drove the van and picked up my father’s body from his home. He also drove the hearse to the grave 2 hours away. Melanie the manager greeted us when we first arrived at the funeral home (my family and I were the first to arrive) she did take us back to view my father , but that was it. Everything else was done by Todd Greene. Myself, brother, sister, my Dad’s brother, and my Dad’s sister wasn’t even lined up to go into the the funeral service. My cousin’s sat on the front row while my father’s children and his brother and sister sat two rows behind them. The manager was not involved with us what so ever. My father did marry his brothers ex-wife so my first cousin is my stepbrother. This is more of a reason that the funeral home manager should have been in charge. From the review that Todd Greene left on Google reviews to him being allowed to handle everything at this funeral home which he also preached the service. Was a serious conflict of interest. We were asked by Todd Greene for all the family to step out the back door. When we all came out side all of my cousins and their family went back in the funeral home and they shut the doors. We were also told that there would not be a funeral procession to the grave. While outside I noticed that the cars were lined up behind the family car and the hearse. We left the funeral home. While going down the road on our way to the grave we were passed by the hearse carrying my Father driven by Todd Greene. We fell in line of at least an 8 car funeral procession with headlights on and emergency flashers. We traveled 2 hours in this funeral procession that we were informed that wasn’t going to be. The manager should have made sure that all of the family was attended to. Also the manager was in charge of creating the video for my father’s service. We were told that we could send pictures for this video. Only 5 or 6 pictures I sent were used in the video. The first thing I asked Melanie (the manager) was if she had received all my pictures, she said that she did. When I sent the pictures I also asked if she could email me the video so I could view it before the funeral. I wasn’t sent the video and all of the recent pictures of my Father and his Grandchildren, my brother, sister and I were not in the video. These pictures were made the last two weeks before my Father’s death. I can speak for my father’s immediate family and that none of us would recommend this funeral home!
Also Melanie (the manager) responded to Todd’s Greene’s Google review as if she doesn’t know that he is a employee of the funeral home and, knowing good and well that he isn’t his Father!
