“Benta's is a long established business that my family has known of for years so when my father passed after a long illness, my sister and decided that this would be the best place to handle the arrangements. My father passed during a holiday weekend (July 4th) so we had to wait until the next day to start final arrangements but the funeral director that was assigned to us Chontel Harris was great. We told her our budget and she was understanding telling us the options without additional pressure to add extras. She explained the process in detail from that day to the day of the funeral; communication was easy and prompt. In the end my sister and I were satisfied with the service provided by Benta's Funeral Home”

“Dean Wilson - what an incredible human being. From the moment we met, he made my family and I feel at ease. This is a difficult, confusing, and very overwhelming process, but Dean made it all feel so effortless. Benta was recommended to us by the pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes Church and I have zero regrets. Dean went the extra mile for us, making a stop at my mother's building during the funeral procession to leave flowers at the front steps. Incredible. A simple gesture that will forever stay embedded in my memory and our hearts. I know the other reviews make this place seem like a nightmare and it worried me at first, too. Dean and his team at Benta made all those fears vanish. They took great attention to all the details, even the smallest ones were not overlooked. Mom looked dashing in her casket. There was never any pressure from Dean to buy the most expensive casket or include the additional limo expense. He catered mom's service to our needs both financial and sentimental. I would 100% recommend Benta to family and friends.”

I was prepared for a stressful process in planning my mother's funeral. Thanks to Lisa and the Benta's team, that was far from the case. They made the process so smooth and understandable. Lisa explained things so that I was never overwhelmed in making decisions. My Mom had been ill and I was afraid that she would not look good but again I was wrong. My mom looked amazing. 

For the wake, people were able to leave video/Audio messages for my family. Also, the funeral home has a service where they put your program online and provide a private,unique URL that you can share. This was great for those friends and family who were unable to make it to the services.  Everything they did helped to ease the most stressful and emotional time of my life. I will be forever thankful.

“Our family had never experienced the loss of a close relative and we were very new to the funeral process. The sudden loss of our mother took an emotional toll on us and we had to quickly navigate our options to ensure that her wishes were fulfilled after her passing. Some people had suggested the more popular chain funeral homes in our neighborhood but our pastor suggested that we reach out to Benta's as they are a family owned establishment and work well with the community. He was right! The funeral Director, Dean Wilson, took his time to guide us through the entire process, allowing us to grieve at our own pace without the pressure of having to make unnecessary expenses. His attention to every detail and careful planning made our mother's funeral services feel like a celebration of her life, exactly as she would have wanted it. Friends and family that attended the services mentioned how well organized and coordinated everything was. We are so grateful for Mr. Wilson and all of the Benta's staff”
