Cammie is amazing always smiling and greets you when you walk in the door. Cammie went out of her way to notarize some paperwork for me. Absolutely love seeing her shining smile during difficult times. I also recommend Whidden to help during trying times as you lay your loved ones to rest. All the staff there is great.

We had a family crisis when my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed away three weeks later. We already had a good experience with Whidden-McLean Funeral Home years ago for my grandmothers funeral so, of course, thats who I called. Marc and his staff were caring, patient, comforting, organized, thorough and adaptable. They are a top-notch team of professionals that take care of you all the way through the process. Marc was diligent in securing an honor guard from MacDill AFB to honor my father. Pastor Terry Coe was amazing too and I received many compliments on the fine job

Whidden-Mc Lean funeral home was amazing for my dads service. Marc kept me updated on every single detail. He walked my family through the tough process and decisions that needed to be made for the service. We were able to customize our dads casket. When the weather took a turn for the worse Marc had a back up plan, to help keep my family dry and to prevent any illness for our elderly family members. The entire staff were nice and helpful, they treated us like family!

So my family not only went thru a painful moment loosing a loved one but we had to deal with Cammie who was extremely rude and demanding. we will never be prepared for moments like these and to deal with someone with little empathy towards grieving family members is just horrible.
