Bridgers Funeral Home Inc

DO NOT HIRE.
Mr Bridger may be a very pleasant person but he should no longer be running this service.
I have a few grievances with this business but the primary reason for this review is in regards to the lack of proper handling of the death certificate. This is an important part of the job of a funeral home. The death certificate is vital to the family in obtaining life insurance payments, retirement funds and other benefits. Mr. Bridger NEVER obtained or provided a death certificate after my step father’s death. In fact, almost five months after his death Mr. Bridger continued to claim that he hadn’t received it and that the department that provided them was closed due to COVID. This was FALSE as I had been to the court house the same day and obtained copies myself. (I should note that even after he filed a revised death certificate a month after my step father’s passing he spelled his name wrong)
I firmly believe that the long struggle to obtain accurate information about the death certificate, in addition to obtain the actual certificate, was a factor in my mother’s death three months later. We weren’t able to process her claims for life insurance and VA retirement benefits without the death certificate. The economic uncertainty that caused was a major stressor, during an already difficult time.. I believe that had we been able to file the claims and obtain the benefits that were due to my mother she would still be alive.
DO NOT HIRE.
