Your feedback

We are always interested in hearing from the families that we serve.  Please take a moment to let us know how well we served you in your time of need. We very much appreciate your feedback.

Our family cannot thank Greenwood Funeral Home enough for the amazing, sincere support during our Dad’s funeral service. Their help relieved a lot of stress for us during an emotional time. We were their first Vietnamese Catholic Family that they have helped. Director Charles Eagan was very understanding and accommodated us to provide all the praying time we wanted for our Dad. Sylvia and Mary were extremely attentive and caring to us and all our guests throughout the whole time. They had made it as easy as possible for us at a very difficult time. We are truly grateful of their support.

We would also like to mention how beautiful, clean, and spacious the Greenwood Funeral Home is. It definitely helped to be in a very welcoming environment.

I was out of town this past week. So upset to miss the funeral. I remembered Dick as smart, funny, great personality, compassionate who loved his Donna with all his heart. They had a wonderful love affair for 47 years. ❤️

Mom had the best send off you could imaging and all thanks to Sylvia. Mom always wanted a jazz band, second line and everyone upbeat (so we all dressed in Saints attire). Sylvia made it all happen, even to wear her jersey over her regular clothes. She took care of everything from beginning to end and we didn't have to worry about anything. Everyone who attended said they had never been to a funeral that was so in tune to the person Mom was. Now not only do we have special angels watching over us, but the Saints do to.

We want to thank Sylvia for all of her help with our family during the most difficult time. She was so dedicated, caring treating us with so much respect. It is always a tough time when you have to bury a loved one. She made it a little easier and guiding us right from the beginning to the end. This entire establishment is 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I want to thank everyone at Greenwood Funeral Home. No one ever wants to plan for a loved ones passing but life does not spare us that pain. Sylvia Mantia was great to work with. She understood our wishes, did not try to sell us frivolous things we did not want or need. She contacted all needed parties (coroner, physician, crematorium) quickly to get everything handled and was in contact with us so there was no cause for concern. Her kindness and sincerity was felt by all of us. She is a true professional with a heart.

The staff at Greenwood Funeral Home went above and beyond for me when my Dad passed. Sylvia Mantia made us feel more like family than a customer. The time was taken and everything explained perfectly. I could not have asked for any more. Thank you again for your kindness at this very difficult time in our lives.

This for you Sylvia. You were awesome. You are kind, caring & helped a grieving dad deal with the loss of his child. You were willing to go out of your way, to make sure I had the information to navigate the process through a very difficult time. I thank you dearly.

The Friday before my siblings and I lost our father, my sisters and I went to Greenwood Funeral Home to make pre-arrangements. We never expected to be back there on Tuesday making final arrangements. We met with Mrs. Sylvia, who was so professional and warm and helpful. She and the staff at Greenwood made the process a lot less painful. She guided us and assisted when we had questions. The video that played during the visitation was phenomenal. So many of our family and friends commented on what a great job that was. Everything, from beginning to end was handled with our dad in mind. We were all so very glad we chose Greenwood Funeral Home for our dads service. Thank you all for doing such a beautiful service.

Mr. Eagan,
When my friend Viki called funeral homes in New Orleans she said that you were the nicest person she talked to. She’s a very good judge of character.
As you can imagine, this was (is) a very difficult time for my sister Josie and me. Losing her husband so unexpectedly and in such a difficult way was hard enough. Being away from home made it harder, and dealing with a hospital that was not particularly efficient made it harder still.

I can’t tell you what a comfort it was to know that the staff always had our backs. They were a pleasure to deal with. I know I joking said I guess you had to be good with people to be in your business, but you know as well as I that not everyone in your business is kind, fair and easy to work with. The discount was unexpected but appreciated. What I appreciated even more was the staff was a phenomenal nudge and kept things moving. I told them that I don’t usually meet people who are better at it than I am, but they were. And that they were doing if for a family they never met is even more special.

I’m glad Viki found you. I’ve managed people for 30 years, and I know that building a team as strong and responsive as yours is not easy. Every phone call was answered by a human. If that person couldn’t help they immediately found someone who could. Every email was answered promptly. At a time when everything seemed to be going the wrong way you and your team reminded me that something was going right.
Thank you

I lost my mother on May 21st, and I have never felt so lost. From the moment my sister and I entered Greenwood Funeral Home it felt like we were among family. There were warm smiles and hugs and kind words from everyone we encountered. We were able to put together a funeral as unique as our mom complete with a brass band to send her off in style. Greenwood has that delicious New Orleans vibe as do the staff who cared for us and for her. She looked beautiful among her treasured items and trinkets we placed with her. There was laughter and music and tears of course, but the greatest compliment I think I can give is I truly believe Mom would have been pleased. We certainly were.
