I would give it negative stars if possible. Music for the service was the owner holding a cell phone to a microphone as the music faded in and out. My 80 year old mother asked for a chair to sit in during the service and they refused to get her one.
I am being charged over 11,000.00 for a funeral the website shows would cost 5,000.00. The casket was a basic wood casket but even if they ordered the most expensive one it would not explain the excess of five grand being charged to me.
Buyer beware

I can't say enough good things about Marty Leffler and Leffler-Poulson Funeral Home. When my mother passed away, Marty's caring and compassionate nature was matched only by his professionalism and efficiency. He treated my father so gently and respectfully during the most difficult time in my dad's life. Marty was a step ahead in anticipating our needs during the entire process and went above and beyond in making sure everything went smoothly and according to the family's wishes. I would highly recommend Leffler-Poulson to anyone in need of a compassionate, professional and customer-focused funeral home.

I haven't had any experience with this funeral home in regards to services for loved ones. However, I did meet Penry Cockrum once while visiting relatives in Benton, and she was a complete hypocrite! I've had a long-time interest in being a mortician, and I decided to talk with Penry about schooling, locations, etc. Believe it or not, she tried to talk me out of pursuing this career. Mrs. Cockrum truly enjoyed her career, and yet tried to talk someone else (me) out of becoming a mortician. You'd think she would've given encouragement and tips, but nope. Like I said, hypocrite! I still wouldn't want her handling the funeral of my loved one; that inconsistent and hypocritical attitude gave me nothing but negative vibes. Unfortunately for Penry though, I've enrolled in mortuary college anyway, and I'm doing great. In your face, Penry Cockrum!
