Poor Customer Service and Unprofessionalism
Many reviewers have expressed their disappointment and frustration with Browns Funerals in Bundaberg, citing instances of poor customer service, unprofessionalism, and lack of compassion. Several reviewers mention being treated rudely or disrespectfully by staff members, including a pall bearer instructor who spoke to a bereaved family member in an unacceptable manner. Others have reported feeling rushed and pushed through the funeral process without having their concerns or needs addressed.
Late or Non-Existent Service
Some reviewers have experienced delays or failures in receiving important services, such as the cremation of their loved one or the distribution of ashes. In one instance, a family member was not notified of the cremation and had to follow up with the funeral home just to arrange for the collection of the ashes. This lack of communication and attention to detail has caused significant stress and anxiety for the grieving families.
Lack of Compassion and Empathy
Several reviewers have expressed shock and disappointment at the lack of compassion and empathy shown by the funeral home staff. One reviewer recalls being handed a business card by a staff member when their father was still ill, trying to gain business from the family in the future. Another reviewer was treated coldly and disrespectfully by an administrative staff member while trying to fill out forms for their loved one's funeral.
