This situation is difficult to write a review about because everyone dreads it and there is absolutely nothing positive about it. Having said that, I'm happy to give Sheil's a positive review. After attending SEVERAL funerals at various ""canned"" chapels in the KC area, I was refreshed by the comforting home-like environment of the chapel. The most impressive part of the process was how smooth the Manager ran things. There were so many tasks to accomplish and so many details that a grieving family can't possibly think of or track, but it was never an issue. We received many compliments on the arrangements and how perfect they were for my loved one(s). I felt that they went the extra mile just to make us comfortable. The services I was involved with were substantially less in cost at Sheils, than the other two funerals I was party to this year. The other services were impersonal and lacked the sensitivity that the situation deserves. Sheils actually invites family members back for a ceremony around the holidays to honor loved ones who've passed.And, unfortunately, although it's difficult to actually pay someone during a terrible time of grief, this is a business and having it done right and honoring your loved one is priceless!!!!!!
Pros: Intimate setting with a professional, family based business
Cons: The process isn't fun at all!
