About Burden-Patience-Montgomery Funeral Home
Burden-Patience-Montgomery Funeral Home is a long-established Jackson institution that has served families in the area for decades, though it is now part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in the country — something families who prefer locally or independently owned businesses may want to factor into their decision. As a full-service funeral home, they handle traditional burial services, visitations, and graveside services, and staff members appear to have deep roots in the community, with several reviewers noting long-term relationships spanning multiple generations. Pricing information was not available for this summary, so families are encouraged to request a General Price List directly, which funeral homes are legally required to provide. With a 4.8-star rating across 99 Google reviews, customer feedback is largely positive, with many families praising the staff's compassion, clear communication, and willingness to work with families in difficult financial circumstances; however, at least one reviewer raised a concern about the quality of preparation work and the demeanor of certain staff members, which may be worth discussing with the funeral home directly before making a decision.

4 months agoWe had my Grandmothers visitation and graveside service at this funeral home. Their employees are rude, heartless and have no respect for the family.
