Poor Service Experience
Several customers have shared their disappointing experiences with J Kirk & Sons. Lack of Communication is a common theme, with some customers feeling ignored or neglected. For example, Author Lance Schubert's parents have been waiting for a headstone for six months, and staff promised it would be done by a certain date but failed to deliver. Similarly, Author Natty Gee's family was poorly treated when they visited the venue for a wake, and the staff forgot to return a sentimental necklace.
Mixed Reviews
While some customers have had positive experiences, others have been left feeling unhappy and upset. Author Renee Dodd had a lovely time at a service, but Author Kahlia Smith had a negative experience with a staff member who seemed unsympathetic to their family's loss. On the other hand, Author Joshua Andersen and his family were well-supported by the team at J Kirk & Sons.
Maintenance and Facilities
The condition of the facilities has been praised by some customers, with Author Joshua Andersen describing the facility as "beautiful and well maintained". However, Author Sarah Kingston expressed disappointment with the service they received, which made an already difficult time even more trying.
