About Elton Black & Son Funeral Home
Elton Black & Son Funeral Home is a full-service funeral home in Highland, Michigan, operating under Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in North America — families who prefer locally or independently owned providers may want to consider that context. The home offers a range of services including traditional burial, cremation, and memorial services, with the established staff appearing to handle coordination of arrangements, services, and receptions in-house. Pricing data was not available for this location, so families should request an itemized General Price List directly, which funeral homes are legally required to provide. With a 4.6-star rating across 22 reviews, customers most often praise individual staff members — particularly a director named Bill and a coordinator named Jess — for their patience, compassion, and attentiveness during arrangements; one review, however, raised meaningful concerns about a package being misrepresented, cremation being performed without notifying the family of the timing, and floral add-ons feeling overpriced, which are worth discussing directly with staff before signing any agreements.

2 months agoThe staff was very respectful and helpful for anyone who needed assistance. The area was decorated in a selection of calm colors for our close family friends funeral.
★★★★★Edie McCoy
10 months agoPackage we purchased was misrepresented (in my opinion). Memorial service without a picture. Wanted to be at the cremation, they did it without even informing us of when it would be done. Flowers purchased through link to funeral home was a rip off, and so were the flowers that came with the pack…
