Ray Williams Funeral Home in Tampa, FL

BEWARE OF THEM AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A PERSON OF COLOR (I thought I was making my Dad happy by using them since he was a Black Panther and fought for black rights actively and was proudly a Vietnam Veteran, what a mistake I made). I would have given five stars if you all had your communication, empathy, and customer service in order. Waited 5 months with no communication in regards to my Fathers remains, did not receive the death certificates as was paid for and had to argue with them to provide what they said they would provide and what was paid for, them having the incorrect address for delivery when it was made verbally known on multiple occasions he was almost shipped to another state, then to top it off I called and tried to plan to pick it up or pay to have it sent to me and was then BLACK LISTED, NEVER CONTACTED BACK and then IGNORED completely for months while my Father SAT on a storage shelf and we HAD HIS FUNERAL WITH NO REMAINS. They overnighted him after I threatened to sue them and I WAS TOLD THEY LOST HIM BUT FOUND HIM THE SAME DAY I THREATENED THEM WITH A LAWYER ( THIS WAS SEVERAL MONTHS POST DEATH CERTIFICATE RELEASE FROM TAMPA GENERAL & CREMATION) Found out they've had numerous complaints of the same issues for years. Ray Williams Funeral Home was recommended after my Father passed unexpectedly and tragically from a terrible battle with Cancer. I "felt" like and was told by them everything was going to be taken care of and changes were made within a few processes concerning other key stakeholders and those went fine I was pleased. Until it came to RECEIVING my Father's cremated remains. FLORIDA just passed a law saying they can dispose of remains after 90 days of legal holding and THANK YOU GOD THIS WAS NOT HAPPENING THEN. I FEEL SICK FOR THE PEOPLE AND FAMILIES YOU ALL WILL THROW AWAY AND HAVE ALREADY BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE DONE WHEN THE BODY IS PAID FOR & REFUSED TO PROVIDE MY LAWYER WITH APPROPRIATE INFORMATION TO PROVE OTHERWISE! DISGUSTING HUMAN BEINGS!

To the staff of Ray Williams Funeral Home, my family and I truly felt we were in good hands. From the moment you picked my mother up from the hospital until the conclusion of her service, the communication was impeccable. The warmth and care in your voices, along with your patience in accommodating the changes we needed, brought us great comfort. A special thank you to Maressa—you made me feel both comfortable and confident that everything would be handled with care. The way you explained each step of the process put my mind at ease during a very difficult time. I would highly recommend Ray Williams Funeral Home to anyone in need of compassionate and professional services.
