Blake-Doyle Funeral Home

“ WARNING! No longer operated by Mr. Doyle. Bought by nationally disrespected chain, Dignity Memorial, the subject of numerous nationally televised stories including CBS News for price-gouging, failures to disclose, and deceptive practices. Two ill-mannered people dressed in jeans and hoodies (not dark suits) removed my mother from our home in a bag. After charging me more than double the normal rate for a transport and cremation, amoral lying Tara Iannacone over the next THREE WEEKS told me the crematorium was backed up (LIE), that she had contacted Holy Sepulcher Cemetery several times (LIE) and that the Holy Sepulcher urn my mother wanted was unavailable in all colors and backordered until November 2 (mom died October 8). (LIE) She took $495 from me for the Holy Sepulcher urn and told me that she had arranged with Holy Sepulcher to have the urn shipped from Holy Sepulcher to Blake-Doyle when it arrived. (LIE) Each time you call, the evil Dorothy or dishonest Tammy Rhue Ingram give you the run around. Tara just left, is out today, is unavailable – all manner of delay. I finally called Holy Sepulcher Cemetery myself. The only director, Joseph Pirello, confirmed unequivocally that he was NEVER contacted by lying Tara Iannacone or anyone else at Blake-Doyle, that he had plenty of urns, and that there is no delay at any crematoriums. After contacting the police, I called Blake-Doyle whom I had paid in full including the illusive urn over 3 weeks earlier to pick up my mom’s ashes. Arriving 30 minutes later the evil Dorothy won’t give her to me. After 3 threats to call the police she sends out no-conscience manager Robert Gauvin who similarly refuses to give me my mother’s ashes until I threaten him 3 more times. Cowardly, he sends evil Dorothy back with the ashes. It’s no surprise that this criminal operation, after unnecessarily leaving my mother without service or burial for over 3 weeks, will not refund the $495 fee for the urn we never received. Tara Iannacone is a calculating vulture who belongs in prison. ”
