Our family obtained the services of Wages and Sons Funeral Home of Gwinnett. We were attended by John Goddard. I cannot begin to express our gratitude for such wonderful, attentive and compassionate attention. John was very patient and accommodating. He helped us obtain a beautiful urn for the ashes. The prayer cards were lovely and when we needed more John, graciously and promptly provided additional cards. I had made an error on the death certificate and the ladies in the office kindly and quickly resolved the matter. We received such wonderful service at this beautiful funeral home. John Goddard and his staff treated us with so much kindness, compassion and efficiency during a very difficult time for our family.

My Mom passed away last week and all we wished for was to place her in great hands. John Goddard led and directed the entire service in a manner that left my entire family 100% at peace. He listened to our requests and helped us make the proper decisions. It was a true success.

A very hard journey made so much easier, thanks to John. Navigated us through tough decisions with professionalism and compassion. He did not try to talk us into things that we did not need or want. Our process of taking care of my dad started with the good choice of selecting Wages and Sons to help us make so many decisions.

Wages and Sons was really great to work with during such a difficult time for our family. John was our funeral director. He was very respectful, professional and accommodating during the entire process. He helped us with any questions we had during the experience and was very easy to get into contact with. He often worked around our schedule despite his busy schedule. The facility is also beautiful. We highly recommend John at Wages and Sons!

My mother was living in Assisted Living and passed away at the height of the pandemic. With dignity and grace, Wages & Sons handled everything for me through calls and emails. Having no idea how to handle a death, their guidance was gracious and thorough. Their professionalism and compassion are without a doubt the best! It is obvious they truly care about the family of the deceased as much as they do caring for the deceased. Perfect care and love abound at Wages & Sons.

Wages & Sons made a very difficult time that much more bearable. They were courteous, kind and above all respectful. I can’t recommend them enough. They are the people you want to have in place before a loved-one’s passing. I had no idea how it worked to lose someone you care so very much about and it was more more comforting when they showed up to respectfully take their body, as opposed to the M.E. do so. Please plan ahead and if your looking for the best of care, call Wages & Sons. We were happy they were there fir us.

My husband passed away on June 11th. Everyone at Wages & Sons was so helpful and kind. They helped me through the whole process. We had the Memorial service in their chapel and the reception afterwards in their reception room. There were about 75 guests and the room accommodated everyone nicely. Wages supplied the tables and tablecloths and our family and friends brought in the food. Someone from Wages has even called me several times to see how Im doing and if they can help with anything. All the employees have treated me so kindly, like family. I highly recommend Wages & Sons.

When thinking about the best funeral services that you can offer your love ones, Wages and Sons is the best place. I met a John, and he helped me from day one to the cemetery. he was present during the service to make sure that everything that we wanted was fulfilled so we can have a best experience ever.Thank you Wages and Sons for your services.

I am very appreciative of the respect and courtesy given to us by the people at Wages and Sons. Like most others, i was at a complete loss on what to do and where to start while i was grieving. Our director John was patient and didnt hesitate to explain anything we needed help on. I have never had to make funeral preparations before, and am even less prepared for buddhist funerals, which is what my mother would have wanted. John gave me the outline of how things would go and worked with us on our budget. Truly grateful.

Wages and Sons provided an exceptional experience to my daughter and I in our time of need. The staff were professional while at the same time sympathetic and compassionate.The gentlemen who picked up my husband were extremely respectful during a very trying time. They handled him with care and dignity, allowing us all the time we needed to say goodbye.The exceptionally kindness continued through the entire process of final arrangements. I highly recommend Wages and Sons.

Although the service and cremation went well, we ran into, to us, a big issue. The gold stud earrings that were supposed to be put on our mother were not on her and were nowhere to be found. When we brought it to the attention of our funeral director, Jenn, after the funeral, she was not responsive. I emailed her our concern, she never emailed back. When I called, she was always busy until I asked for someone who was in charge. Only then did she came to the phone. When she offered a full refund of the dressing fee, she assured me that she would get the office manager to mail out the refunded check. A week and a half later when I followed up, the check was never even cut yet. Ofcourse they offered to cut the check that day, and we picked it up, but the resolution of this issue took several weeks and multiple contacts that a mourning family should not have to deal with. It was very upsetting not only that our mother was missing the earrings, but how unprofessional and poorly Jenn and Wages and Sons handled this situation. I do not know if I would recommend this funeral home to anyone.

My grandfather recently passed from COVID-19 back in November. It was truly a difficult time. However, Marty and his colleagues were exceptionally helpful in facilitating the process of his funeral. They were very considerate and accommodating towards our Buddhist traditions and ceremonies as well as allowing us the space and time to hold our services. He was available every moment and quick with responding to calls and messages concerning the funeral process. My grandfathers casket was beautifully done and the burial ceremony itself was exceptional. The Do family is very appreciative and grateful for the services provided by Marty and his colleagues.

Our family has used Wages & Sons for several services over the years and we have always been very satisfied with their professional staff and attendants. They were very helpful explaining all of the options available to us and they were very patient and comforting during our time of loss. Marty made sure that everything was taken care of. Their facilities are beautiful and clean and second to none.

The only less-than-ideal thing that happened was that their livestreaming services were not working at the time of my sons service. However, they let us know well ahead of time so that we were able to set up a workaround. The facility was beautiful, my son looked beautiful and peaceful, and every employee we interacted with (especially John, our funeral director) was gracious, accommodating, and empathetic. Thank you so much for helping us through a horrible time.

Review №20

I was disappointed to see some of the staff chuckling throughout the ceremony. One of the staff was casually smoking a cigarette while burying the deceased. Also, since Covid-19 is still rampaging in the world, two staff members weren’t wearing a mask. It was obvious to the family in mourning that the staff was silently judging the burial of their loved one. There are many complex rituals for a Vietnamese Buddhist funeral, but it’s all for the sake of the loved one to have a peaceful and well afterlife.

Wages and Sons Funeral Home took great care of our loved one and my family during a very challenging time. Every staff member we had contact with was very informative and eager to answer our questions and calm our concerns. Every member was caring and showed compassion during the whole process; even going so far as to check up on us days after the service. Wages and Sons is a lovely building with a calming environment.

We were very happy with the services provided. My Mom wanted to be buried out of state and we didnt have a clue as to how to proceed. They stepped us through the process and even helped us determine if it was better to fly or drive the casket and body to her final resting spot and what services should be done at each location, then coordinated with other funeral home. After she passed and we notified Wages they sent out aprofessional team very quickly. They were very thoughtful of our feelings and let us spend as much time as we wanted with her. Then they prepared her for transport and moved her out of the facility quietly which was nice because it was a senior living facility. They were quick and we had the funeral in a different state 6 days after she left us.Even more impressive is they have followed up to check on us several times since her passing. I highly recommend Wages & Sons. Thank you

My brother died unexpectedly and Wages & Sons went out of their way to take care of him and my family. His son lives in a different country and they were willing to help him through his grief and continue to work with all our family. They are very respectful and offer several options in our time of grief. This is the 3rd family member we have engaged for deaths in our family each one was dealt with respect and reverence.

When my sister died alone in the hospital of Covid 19, I was at a loss. She had planned to give her body to Emory Med School, but they would not take it because of the virus. My pastor told me to call Wages. They were kind and sensitive and guided me through the whole process. I am grateful for their kindness.

Wages and Sons was referred to me by a family friend after my mom passed away. Tadd was kind, sympathetic, and gave us an very upfront, honest pricing. We visited 2 other places and found Wages and Sons not only to be more competitive but more attentive and offer more options so we came back. If you need a place you can trust fully with your loved one, Wages and Sons is the place to go.Thank you Tadd and company!Allison

Our family could not have asked for a more compassionate and helpful funeral home to use during the saddest time of our lives. Hank Wages is very experienced and knowledgeable, and guided us through every step of planning the beautiful service. The atmosphere is really beautiful and comfortable for visitation and services. Also, they were able to accommodate our slide presentations easily. They additionally follow up and check on families whom they worked with in the past. Wages & Sons in Lawrenceville is very professional and caring.

Hank & staff did a wonderful job in taking care of our Dad’s final wishes in January of 2019. Our Mother was also taken care of there in 2013. We were guided through each step of the way and anything we asked of them was carried out in a most professional manner. If you are looking for an organization to take care of a loved one or planning your own time, these are the folks that you need.

Wages & Sons is a very compassionate and caring place. Hank and the entire staff were absolutely outstanding. Jeff and Billy and all their associates are experienced and gave me a lot of peace of mind. They also care enough to follow up to see how you are doing, and to offer words ofencouragement and suggestions on how to handle an extremely difficult time. I recommend Wages & Sons with the highest rating possible. I hope I never have to use them, but it is comforting to know they are there.

Review №74

Very unprofessional people. My daughter had a stillborn and Gwinnett Medical told us that they work with this funeral home and that the do free service. I was willing to pay for the funeral expense. So my daughter delivered on Thursday, autopsy was done on Friday around noon. Hospital called to inform that autopsy was done and that they were going to call the funeral home to pick up baby. My daughter kept calling to check on the status and they kept saying that the cremation wasnt done. So I decided to call Sunday morning and spoke to the director and asked him why my granddaughter wasnt picked up from Gwinnett Medical yet and he told me that he was waiting to hear from the hospital. I told him that the baby was ready to be picked up and he then said well this is a courtesy we do for FREE and we will pick up whenever we have time. I told him I didnt care if it was free or not I was willing to pay and if not I was going to change funeral homes. He then told me well if you willing to pay you can go with whichever funeral home you like. I ended up changing funeral home right after I hung up and the other funeral home picked baby up within an hour. I rather go with TIM STEWART FUNERAL HOME than these heartless people.

I could not say enough great thinks about the staff and facilities at Wages & Sons. When my father passed away, neither I nor any of my immediate family had any experience with planning a funeral. Kent at Wages & Sons answered my call and walked me through the entire process with so much patience and sympathy. He told me he was on call all night and when we called at 1 am to tell them of my fathers passing, sure enough Kent was there to ease our worries in whatever way he could. They were quick and thorough and took over all arrangement with the hospital. We chose to do the service at this Lawrenceville location and Vince was extremely personable and responded to our last minute requests with amazing speed. The building here is BEAUTIFUL. The architecture is very grand and every statue and piece of decor is so unique and beautiful. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew we were giving my father the most beautiful service and that our decision in this location was a great last way to honor his life. I would recommend Wages & Sons to everyone. Their prices were fair, given how expensive funerals typically are, and most importantly, their staff handles their line of work with compassion and grace.

Even when you are told to prepare, you are never really prepared for the pain and confusion that comes with losing someone you love. Tadd and the rest of the Wages family held my hand as well as that of the rest of my family as we walked through this painful experience. The ceremony was beautifully prepared, the team was there every step and took the very best care of my aunt. I loved her like my very own mother and I know she was smiling down throughout that weekend as we celebrated her life.Nothing takes away the pain of such a loss but having truly caring people to support organizing for a send off is key -- Found that at Wages.
