M Shavon Travis: March 2, 2023 changed my life forever. I lost my precious 6 year old grandson to an asthma attacked.We chose Speaks to handle his arrangements and memorial service. During the most difficult time of our lives, they relieved a lot of the stress off of our family. Jamie was very compaasionate and caring, as well as the rest of the staff.The day of his memorial, they were more than willing to do whatever we needed or ask to make sure the service was as perfect as possible....and it was beautiful. I can't thank them enough for helping our family and friends celebrate his life in a way that I know he would have loved.

Marcia Ebert: Very nice place .Employees very thoughthoughtful
Patty G: My mother had prepaid arrangements. I met with Nichole and the planning process went smoothly. The visitation and service were very nice. However, there was a small technical issue, one of the tv’s wasn’t working so there was only one tv to display the slideshow we paid for.
Rory A Ridinger Sr.: Very pleasant and comfortable making arrangements. Forrest was a pleasure to work with and will recommend your services to my family and friends...THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Ďèbbie Gooďmàñ: Everyone was considerate and very helpful going through the process. Thanks Nicole for letting us laugh through the memories while making arrangements. I also thought the pricing was very reasonable as we had no insurance. I am very grateful I chose Newcomer's Noland Road Chapel.
Ruth Berry: Nicole was more than helpful.o
Sharon Fusco: My family’s experience with Nicole at the Noland Chapel was a nightmare. At the service she did not introduce herself. She was unprofessional and disrespectful to me and my family. I could not believe such behavior from a funeral director. She ruined my mother’s service. Rating 1 star is much too generous.
Mike Thompson: Never explained charges. No service. And just cremation $2200 . .UPDATE : THEY JUST INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE OF THIS NEGATIVE REVIEW THEY WONT BE HOLDING A SERVICE FOR. MY MOM AND TO COME PICK UP HER REMAINS AND. THEY WILL CALL IT EVEN ON THE 400.00 BALANCE I WAS MAKING PAYMENTS ON !!! SO $1900 DALLORS LATER AND MY MOM NO LONGER GETS A FUNERAL. THIS PLACE IS SO WRONG IN every aspect . Also was charged 175.00 for a card board box for her ashes when I in fact took my own urn/ and mini urns in to be placed in . I'm calling fox 4 and. Getting this story aired. . . They robbed me of my $ and idk how to give mom a funeral now . Rude , not compassionate , over thumbs 👎
Bree Sanders: Jason Gentzell was extremely helpful and attentive to my family’s needs. He made my grandmother feel very at ease and very comforted after she had just lost her husband of 71 years. Highly recommend using Jason or any of his lovely staff for your needs.
Lori Deister: Nicole the Employee at the funeral home was sympathetic listen to all five family members took the time to get To know my sister the deceased. And help us put together an amazing celebration of her life. It was one of the difficult times in life and she made that experience less stressful and put us all it Ease she went above and beyond her job she’s compassionate and caring
Teri Rhone: Nichole was wonderful to our family. My 46 year old son died of a sudden heart attack and we are devastated. She was wonder to us and answered every concern and even called us to answer questions over the Memorial holiday. Thank you Nichole.
Ron Galvan: Woody and Dennis proved I was wrong to delay doing a Preneed. Most professonal and detailed. All my questions were answered promptly. Kudos to the Staff ...
Sheri Erickson: Wow where do I even start. Nicole, The most beautiful lady you can ever meet, there's no words to describe her. Angel sent from heaven. Beautiful laugh, sole, heart etc.. I know it's there job, but she's a professional employee, helper, and Psychologist 🤪. The love and care she gives is genuine, something you can't buy. Thank you Nicole for making a rough time so much easier.
Angela Salamoni: Newcomers was very helpful in helping me with my grandfather's funeral. Nichole helped me from the very beginning with planning and pricing. Had a beautiful chapel service that they were able to live stream so my grandma in Spain could watch. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I would absolutely recommend.
Havon Morris: The funeral home director Nichole Gebhart was so wonderful to my family and I during this heart breaking time!! She was there for any questions I had no matter what time of the day it was!! I'm so blessed to have had her help plan my father's funeral, she made something so hard to do with a heavy heart so easy. Thank you for everything!!
Sergio Gomez: Very nice, very professional and exceptional service, beautiful Chappell and all team members very nice thanks a lot Nichole.
Jerry Roth: Very friendly and answered all questions and advised me as to what I needed to do. They prepared the death certificate for filing with the state and send me a copy to review for correct information. I found an error in the birth date and returned the corrected copy the same day. They had already sent the incorrect copy to the state and had to file a corrected copy. This delayed me in getting copies of the death certificate. It has been 22 days and I still do not have a certified certificate. Unacceptable.
Raymond Ingram: My family was very satisfied with the services that was provided for our brother, husband, father, grandpa and many other family members and friends. Don and staff made us feel like family. When needed I’d do them every time. They will make you feel at home.Thank you for all the comforting that was provided to my family in the time of need.Thank you,The Ingram’s
Mark Boothe: The funeral directors at Newcomers Noland Road Chapel have been great. Don made us feel comfortable, from our very first meeting all the way through to completion. And, his partner, Nicole, in addition to being very friendly, was super organized and efficient. She was always on top of paperwork, pictures, and videos. With the exception of a miscommunication, regarding memory cards at the visitation, the entire process went off without any problems. I would definitely recommend Newcomers for anyone's funeral needs.
Rita Feller: Forest was very,very nice & very informative. Have been wanting to make our funeral plans along time & it is a relief to have them finished.

Batesville Casket Co: what do users think?
B C: Today I was behind one of your trucks. I thought that maybe it was broken because the driver was going very slow. Like 25mph in a 55mph zone. Traffic was piling up behind us. Then out of nowhere he speeds up like he wasn't paying attention. He then started flying through corners so quickly that I thought he was going off the road at one point! The most annoying part was how slow he was going for so long. It was 1 star slow. I wasn't even in a hurry but it was THAT annoying. I'm all for going 5-10moh under the speed limit in a big truck but 25mph on a state highway is just dangerous! I'll be buying a casket elsewhere. If your driver keeps driving like that he may be a customer of yours very soon!

Darren Tharp: I have done HUNDREDS of funerals as a Pastor but never have I seen a place like this.It was dirty...the water fountain didn't work.

McGilley & Sheil Funeral Home & Cremation Services: what do users think?
Tina Omenski: Niecole was the one who helped with our moms service. I would recommend that you talk to Niecole she is very friendly and a people person. She was a joy to talk to.
Michael Gatewood: there's much to be said.the employees here don't communicate internally. it would be a much more pleasant experience if the living customers could speak to anyone there. and get a prompt and knowledgeable response.I'm the financially responsible party. when I asked how much do I owe you? I don't know let me write your debit card number down.when can I pick up my father's ashes?. oh I don't know somebody else does and they're not here.I realize that you probably have a lot of customers but if it's so overwhelming that everything has to be compartmentalised maybe you should rethink company policy.I don't think it is unreasonable that I should be able to ask everyone there a question get a response from them.
Amy Morris: The service was beautiful. The staff went above and beyond all expectations. They were kind, patient, professional and very accommodating during the entire process.
Jennifer Batugo: I cannot fully put into words how much appreciation we have for the love and support we were given by Jason and the staff at Mcgilley and Shiel .Every step of the way I felt like Jason held our hand and navigated us through one of the most difficult moments in our lives.

Thank you genuinely for making such a hard thing just a little easier.
N B: I cannot possibly put into words the absolute gratitude we feel. Jason and staff truly helped make the worst day of our lives a little easier.
