Margaret, Brooks and Brooks funeral home were found liable and responsible on December 7,2023 in Ramsey County Courts for 3 separate counts!1 Fraud, 1 breach of contract and 1 intentionally causing emotional distress and pain! I am the plaintiff in the matter! Unfortunately, there was a mistrial, and I will win again

The Brooks family has supported my family and this community for as long as they have been in business and I believe span of service excellence exceeds 70 years. Let me be authentic for a minute. They have provided funeral services and guidance to those in my family with or without insurance and supported my family navigate every single step of the process. When my Auntie Ava Billups died she did not have insurance and the state was holding burial benefits because she had a checking accounts they could not verify the balance so I had to pay in advance cemetery burial only but Mr. Brooks assured me that he would make sure that the bank released what was required to the county. Please know that this is not the responsibility of the funeral home but he would not stop going to that bank and low and behold about 7 weeks later I received a call from Elmhurst cemetery telling me that I am fortunate that Mr.Brooks was able to intervene abs they had my full reimbursement check ready. When my sister died I was absolutely beside myself and Mrs. Brooks pulled me to the side during a he funeral planning and told me I could come spend time with my Sissy every day to get my self together before the service. They have been excellent every single single and they are a pillar in our community. Keep doing Gods work he sees you. I love and appreciate the Brooks family Less

I was forced to give a star! I cant/wont give any stars for brooks funeral home, if i could give a negative review then i would, they we unprofessional, rude, belittling and money hungry, they tried cancelling my daughters visitation because she wouldnt take the money that i had on hand which was $2000, she tried overcharging me to begin with, she wanted $1000 for 3 bouquets of flowers, $1450 for obituaries then once i advised that its illegal to solicit money when working with crime victims, they cancelled her service that was scheduled for Saturday she called me on friday to call everything off because the deposit wasnt enough. then a person from the crowd swiped their card and at that point they started getting my daughter ready at 11:15am for 1 oclock visitation. I will be reporting them to the better business bureau and Ill be filing a motion for a lawsuit for the disrespect and treatment during my daughters unexpected homegoing. I am appalled with these people, then had the hodacity to ask for the obituaries that were made by the family. she was 3 shades darker than she was, badly made up with nothing done with her hair...nothing. I am very upset and I definitely plan on taking legal action against them. Less

Ms Brooks is the light of the world. So compassionate, caring, loving to me and my family. THANK YOU DEARLY MOMMA BROOKS😇

The Best In The City 💯💪🏿❤️👈🏿

Beautiful with lovely staff they treated me so well

I have worked with Mrs Brooks on several occasions ! What I Love and admires about her is that she so helpful and caring about the families . I have referred other families and will continue to do this I trust and Believe in Brooks Funeral Home .

Mrs. Brooks and her sweet niece were such a breath of fresh air, very inviting. I thank the heavenly Father for leading us straight to His people. By the grace and mercy of God, the process was pleasant, and smooth. I do truly appreciate and recommend the Brooks funeral home. Sincerely satisfied 😊.

What does abuse, stds, etc. have to do with the service? That’s not what we wanted. Started the funeral WITHOUT my aunt! Did not let anyone speak from the friends and family nor read the obituary.

Is this the only funeral home in MN. Cuz baby they need a 2023 training on embalming. They had some of these people looking hideous. Looked like their heads were sinking down in their bodies and some look like they were actually blown up like a balloon uhhh uhhh y’all better find somebody else to do it

By far the worst unprofessional company I’ve ever seen in my life Zero empathy or respect towards families Then when I seen my mom in her casket at the funeral her eye was slightly open like they didn’t even try to make her face look presentable she was unrecognizable Definitely do not recommend

Absolutely the best funeral home I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. 100% professional and on top of services. I highly recommend 10/10!

Mrs.brooks will get you taken care of highly recommended! They are so family oriented & don’t waste no time fulfilling your needs.

Mrs Brooks was and forever will be my Angel. From the moment I spoke to her, l felt true love and compassion. She may never understand how she helped myself and my daughter in such a vulnerable moment. The absolute best service any grieving family could ever hope for. Thank you Brooks Funeral Home, and God Bless you Mrs Brooks. -The Cooper family

Speaker or sound system was very poor. Maybe not working? Could not hear music. Masks were available, but no sanitizer. Being able to contact, or gain any communication with this funeral home was extremely challenging. Sad to think that maybe they are overwhelmed with clientele.💔 However they seem to be willing to work with customers to accommodate them. 🙏

thanks you margaret and George for giving carl kelly the peace he deserves without them his service wouldn’t of been possible # look @ god !!!

Always keeping it professional with caring and loving

Brooks funeral home did an amazing job on my aunt celebration of life service. They were very supportive and helpful during this time of sadness. I would definitely recommend Brooks Funeral Home because they take pride in what they do. The care that they give you and your love ones is excellent. Thank you Brooks Funeral Home on a job well done.

This is an excellent place to go to. Especially for black struggling families. Mrs brooks will help you! Trust me. Perfect for helping anyone but a blessing to black families 🤞🏾.

The brooks funeral home is a breath of fresh air. Ms Brooks is such an elegant & amazing woman. I honestly cant believe how much she and her wonderful family helped me during such a difficult time. Thank u so much. I have no idea what i would have done with you!

I attended the service recently of a friend who lost her son. I was appalled at Ms. Margaret Brooks behavior, lack of professionalism, and disregard for the grieving mother and father as well as others in attendance. She stood in the line to hurry the service along but she did not realize she was actually blocking the flow of traffic and that was part of the reason people were stalled and not moving. When I tried to explain she questioned if I knew who she was. Completely uncalled for question I was helping in the service and obviously knew who she was. She was also posing & taking pictures at the cemetery in front of one of the attendees cars. Complete disregard and lack of judgement on her behalf. If you cannot show compassion and empathy as a funeral director YOU ARE IN THE WRONG LINE OF WORK. Less

We love Mrs. Brooks she is a Godsend and we are so blessed to have connected with her. The best affordable option out there.

Bad service the only thing the owner wife was concerned with is money very rude my mother make up was horrible

I’m disappointed in the interactions between our family and the funeral home .. and I feel completely disrespected that they saw fit to take someone to view my dads body without consent Less

This is the 3rd time that the Brooks Funeral Home has stepped up to help our family and she did her best so that our wishes were met but unfortunately my grandpa legal wife was trying to be underhanded and shady. Mrs. Brooks still maintained her integrity and professionalism by not refunding the money that was paid by us to the woman who tried to get Mrs. Brooks to give it to her when she decided she was going to remove my grandpa because Mrs. Brooks was being a little too helpful with us and honoring our wishes to have a funeral for my grandpa. It was the most stressful time in our life and if it wasn’t for Mrs.Brooks doing the right, honest, and legal thing then that woman would have walked away with my grandpa body and money she didn’t pay.

Handled my grandfathers funeral greatly! Even when the devil her self tried to destroy it. Everything was handled beautifully & properly. Thank you

From the hour my father passed away Mrs. Brooks was so compassionate and caring. She worked with the medical examiner to get the information we needed due to our father being abandoned and terminally ill. This is my family's third time using the Brooks services and as long as we reside in Minnesota we will forever be dedicated to using her services. Thank you, Thank you Thank you Mrs Brooks

Ms. Brooks and her family showed us nothing but compassion. They made my father look so good even though the mess that was going on, Ms. Brooks maintained a professional forefront. I will always use The Brooks Funeral home.

I appreciate the amazing job that Brooks Fuberal Home performed with my son. Everything went exactly like I asked with a extra touch of perfection.

Mrs. Brooks is professional, experienced, and most of all compassionate. She did more than we ever expected, and helped our family secure financing for a lovely funeral through available resources that we didn’t even know about. It is clear that she loves her work, and it is more than work for her…a ministry. I recommend Brooks so highly.

I think her work is great and she's a great person And I would recommend her to any and everyone

If I could give no stars I would my daughters dad passed away due to her only being 14 I called brooks and asked if they would be willing to keep some ashes for my daughter. I was giving a call back and told to meet at 12 and was hung up on. Never agreed to the time due to me being sick. I called her cell phone back and she was very rude and unprofessional and told me this is her cell and she dosent take calls on her cell but called me from that number. I called back yesterday left a message with receptionist no return call. Today was the service and my daughter did not get any ashes. The funny thing is she told me I could but seems like that was a lie the whole time due to him already being cremated before the service. I explained to her that due to the ignorance of his other family members my daughter didn't want to go because she didnt feel comfortable. She told me this is my funeral home and nothing will happen you can drop her off and she can sit by me. At the end of the day my child is 14 years old and never knew her dad due to his choice of not wanting to be in her life like his assumed to be other children. I wanted to get closure and support my child the best way that I could. She told me that I could bring a birth certificate but never returned my calls when I told her I couldn't come at 12. They are liars rude and very unprofessional. They still haven't called me or saved my 14 any ashes. I wouldn't Barry a spider at there funeral home I read the reviews and seeing how they handle me regarding my 14 year old I believe every review I read. This is why it's hard to support black owned anything it's sad and they outta be ashamed of them self I would not ever do any business with them I rather be left in the morgue then to go to this funeral home.and remember we all will leave and god is watching everything you all do Less

My family and I used this funeral home and I am located in another state but was handling some of the affairs of my deceased love one with the permission of her son. This funeral home was less than professional and hung up on me. I operate a business myself and very familiar with handling business and treating customers with respect and I definitely conduct myself on the job and off in a manner that reflects my brand. So her hanging up was not warrented. She is rude and lacks compassion for grieving families. Every one of these negative reviews in my opinion is very truthful. I would not use them to bury a pet.

Brooks Funeral Home isn't fit to services my Dog. Ms brooks isn't deserving of the title MS. she's no lady at all. She's very disrepectful, unprofessional, unethical, rude, and all about the Money. The people that give her good reviews had to have been friends and family members. she very ghetto. with a nasty attitude. the quality of work she did on my love one is of Low-grade and poor-quality. I would have done a much better job. I give her Zero Stars. Less

Thank you to Cash Money Motor Club, Gatson Family, and Brooks Fureral House for the Amazing Service Thursday Morning regarding our Monica Peaches Renee Bradley in the city of Saint Paul Minnesota's Capital. Although Amazing Service, this one Star Review is due to The Brooks family funeral Home offering a Beautiful Angel White Casket and taking it away after the service. This leaves me to assume the Brooks Family Funeral House will be placing someone else's Loved one in a Gorgeous Castket that my Loved one has already laid to rest IN. Less

This funeral home should not be used by anyone. I had a relative who used this business and nothing that was promised came to fruition. The floors were stained and had not been cleaned by the appearance for quite some time. Take your business somewhere else so you won’t be disappointed while you are mourning the loss of a loved one.

Words can't express the hospitality, professionalism, and seamlessness they made the process.

I have had to arrange a few funerals in my time. But the funeral Brooks did for us was was so worrie free. They did a fantastic job on my cousin. Every thing went so smooth. The Best Funeral Home Ever. Thank you Mrs. And Mr. Brooks for everything.

I was referred to Brooks. I have had several family members go through this funeral home. Never in my mind would I have thought I was being lied to. My precious daughter looked a mess. The repetitions board paid her for services that was not rendered.

I was referred to Brooks. I have had several family members go through this funeral home. Never in my mind would I have thought I was being lied to. My precious daughter looked a mess. The repetitions board paid her for services that was not rendered. I was told I would not have to come out of pocket because it was a homicide. 860 was paid out of pocket at our first meeting then the crime victims bord paid that too. Never ever again. Return my calls and my oldest Daughter's calls. You should not take advantage of people in grief. Shameful. Trying to keep our money in the community won't happen again. I found out every funeral home works with crime victims repercussions. Lie on lie. The flowers you said you donated were on the bill. The vault was on the bill. We paid Elmhurst cemetery cash. Just greed. God is watching and I hope you get fined and shut down. Less

Mrs.Brooks wouldn’t let me dress my son. When I viewed him before his service he was green and right before the funeral he was still green, my family had to add more makeup to him. She told me she’d put him in a nice urn and yet she put him in a black box. I’ve called several times and she wouldn’t answer for me to get my son’s death certificate so I popped up and she was very rude!

To everyone that has done business with Brooks Funeral home based on merit and longevity within the community we thank you and appreciate your service.

To everyone that has done business with Brooks Funeral home based on merit and longevity within the community we thank you and appreciate your service. My name is Bonnie Brooks and I am the great-granddaughter of George and Ruth Brooks. I am using this platform to apologize to the people who have been mistreated and inconsiderably acknowledged. When our great-grandfather and great-grandmother started this business they did so with intentions to create a legacy for their family and pass down to generations. Unfortunately, due to greed and misfortunes the merit of the business has been tarnished and in consequence our families’ lives has been threatened by people such as Margaret and George Brooks. Our family is disheartened by the the awful reviews and mistreatments when people are dealing with the most difficult times in their lives. We love you all and ask that you take your business where you are treated respectfully. Less

I wish I could give them no stars. Mrs. Brooks is very rude and showed no compassion for our family. She was rude when we asked questions about obituaries and instead of her telling us they don’t print them there she said she don’t discuss obituaries after hours.

And told us the day of the funeral about the obituaries. Luckily we found someone to print them in such short notice. She was confusing us with another family and that’s why she was so rude she explained. But no one deserves to be treated that way especially in a tragic time. I will never recommend them Less

This place operates illegally, under Mrs. Brooks lead. She isn't liscenced to be a mortician !

Mrs. Brooks really took good care of us and did a wonderful job handling my son's arrangements. Their communication, sensitivity and attention to detail was excellent and they were very concerned about our needs and wishes. I would highly recommend Brooks Funeral Home to anyone who needs these services.

*Margaret Brooks is not a licensed mortician* She is the absolute RUDEST woman with no regards for the families feelings. " somebody needs to come get this body out of my mortuary ASAP and bring cash money " is what she yelled to us on the phone because we decided to change funeral homes.

Can someone please report her for practicing without a liscence and also point me in the right direction to do the same ! Less

Brooks you all did a horrific job on Mr.Bruce.How dare you leave blood under a gunshot victims nails as well as not cover up his gunshot wounds. You don’t ever have to worry about a referral ever. You know what you did was not acceptable. Had it been my family member you’d refund me or we’d for sure be in court. This is why we can’t support our own cause we don’t do right. Disgusted

I am honored to have met Margaret Brooks as my family couldn't handle two of the same. My brother looked as though he was asleep, so peaceful. The funeral was a beautiful celebration of the life of my brother. Margaret Brooks was very compassionate, well organized and all done in 1 week as I requested. 60 days ago I lost my brother/best friend and he is happy with Margaret and Brooks Funeral Home also. Thank you so much...... Less

My family and I would like to thank Brooks Furneal Home for all you all have done for our family. Mrs.Brooks thank you for being honest,loving, caring.Much love to you and yours. Robin Anderson❤️

Never have I every met a group of loving Individuals, Christians (Jesus loving), professional, and will do anything for someone else's benefit. Thank you Mrs. Brooks for everything you have done. Your family has been such a blessing ( thanks Mr. Sanders) I highly recommend there services.

Giving this funeral home 1 star was too much. Mrs. Brooks were very disrespectful during the service. To have our family member pass away from something so tragic. First, of all the body wasn’t completely ready during the viewing to cover the body. Secondly, she disrespected her husband during the service.

Giving this funeral home 1 star was too much. Mrs. Brooks were very disrespectful during the service. To have our family member pass away from something so tragic. First, of all the body wasn’t completely ready during the viewing to cover the body. Secondly, she disrespected her husband during the service. Why she thought it was alright for to speak we had no clue. The funeral home is very tacky and small in the inside. During the service Mrs. Brooks were handing out hot bottles of water. She was asking for more money which, the funeral will be paid for in full. I guess Mrs. Brooks assumed we didn’t know. I’ve never been to a funeral home as tacky and money hungry as this one. Less

I want to thank the staff of brooks funeral home, for there services, they made my family fill right at home, they are caring, compassionate, & trusted worthy. I will refer anyone to brooks funeral home, they are perfect.

Hard to even click on 1 star. The Brooks family are the most incompetent, unprofessional, unsympathetic crooks I have ever had to deal with.

Hard to even click on 1 star. The Brooks family are the most incompetent, unprofessional, unsympathetic crooks I have ever had to deal with. Mr and Mrs yelling and arguing with each other during our consultation to discuss the details of burying my brother. They were late to bring my brother to the church for his funeral service. The only card of condolence we received was the one literally handed to my grandmother from her aunt. This is very suspicious since we have had some people ask if we recieved their cards (which we didn't). I could elaborate in more detail of the unbelievably, horrible experience we had as a family grieving our 18 yr old loved one lost to gun violence in these increasingly, dangerous streets of St. Paul/Minneapolis, but it still brings me to tears exactly one year later. The disrespect for my dead brother and his grieving mother was incomprehensible! Why these people are still in operation today is beyond disbelief to me. Please, please do not use The Brooks services. Having to bury a loved one is painful enough, but to add the guilt of sending them off in this way is horrific. Believe me, the only thing the Brooks saw when we walked through their door were money signs. No empathy, period. The only reason you see 2.5 stars for this joke of a funeral home is because MARGARET BROOKS GAVE HERSELF 5 STARS!!! THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN. NOBODY SHOULD EVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT OUR FAMILY DID, EVER Less

My mother in law past away last year and a co worker passed the information about brooks over to me. I shared the info with my husband because to be honest we were very tight for money and her life insurance didn't pay out due to her passing before 2 years came up. They made her look so peaceful and her going away was small but its was very beautiful and personal.

I have never experienced anything like I did with Brooks Funeral home. While making preparations for my grandson's funeral Mr. and Mrs. Brooks yelled and argued with each other the whole time. Mrs Brooks was extremely insensative to our grief and showed absolutely no compassion. They were almost an hour late bringing my Grandson to the church which made it impossible for us (his mother, father, siblings and grandparents) to view him and say our goodbye's privately as the Church was full by then. We actually had to ask everyone seated in the church to please leave for a moment so that his mother could be alone with him for 5 minutes.when my Grandson's ashes were ready to be picked Mrs never called his mother to let her know he was there. I found out when I had to call her for some information I needed. His mother and father should have been called immediately and not have to find out through me. I could go on and on about our horrible experience, but it would turn into a book, but I will share the icing on the cake. Mrs Brooks called me two weeks after burying my grandson yelling at me and telling me my daughter was going to die if someone didn't step in and help her because, as she said, I quote, "she is on something and there is something wrong with her". I thought, no she's not "on anything" and yes, there is something wrong with her...she is grieving the loss of her first born son to murder. When my daughter went to retrieve her sons ashes Mrs Brooks proceed to yell at her and tell her that her family was crazy. Then when my daughter asked her what the date was, she yelled at her and repeated over and over, "you don't what what the date is? Are you in your right mind?" I couldn't believe that she would treat a grieving mother they way she did. I still feel like it was a bad dream because our experience is almost too unbelievable. But,rest assured it happened. Less

Late for funeral and Margatet Brooks made it about herself. She is the worst funeral director I have ever met. Wish I could give a negative 50. Brooks funeral home sucks and anyone associated with it is a psychopath that feeds on the vulnerable at their worst moment in time for MONEY. Hope your stay in the afterlife was just as uncomfortable as the service you provided.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Margaret Brooks was very rude and disrespectful to my family and was extremely unsympathetic. The services received was HORRIBLE! At the funeral my cousin had this thick white make up on his face like a clown, smelled bad, nails was dirty.

Very disrespectful to my family. Very unprofessional. Margret Brooks prey on the vonerable, and crackheads that try to plan a funeral. She take advantage of vonerable adults that don't know what they are doing. And make the family pay money out of pocket along with the victim service money. She is a poverty pimp. Giving her a 1 star rating was the only way to post my experience.

I was recently there assisting a very close family friend make arrangements for her son. The people there were very friendly and professional. They were very comforting and knowledgeable about the less stress ways to have things done. Margaret Brooks helped make the decisions less confusing and gave my friend some peace.

Margaret Brooks has to be the most rude and unsympathetic funeral director or owner I've ever encountered. I spoke with her to plan the services for my loved one and just from the conversation I decided to go else where. Her people skills leave a lot to be desired.

I spoke with her to plan the services for my loved one and just from the conversation I decided to go else where. Her people skills leave a lot to be desired. At the very least she needs to learn empathy and compassion and a remedial customer service class wouldn't hurt. You don't treat the deceased like a cash cow. You could also learn how NOT to sound so crude sleazy and classless. You shouldn't get upset with callers when you can't provide a price list. In my opinion things look a bit fishy, like you're trying to get whatever you can from the grieving and that's not a good look. Less

The equipment was very out-of-date and did not work well. witch when we called they said otherwise. we had to find out 15 mins before the service started. when the service was over they rushed everyone out the door. we ate 2 blocks away and they had the nerve to come and eat the food!?!? I've never in my life seen that. my aunt inquired about some missing flowers and the lady said that she would be back there in a couple of hours because she had things to do!? mind you she was only two blocks away from the funeral home. she was just sitting there talking and eating our food. but was somehow to busy to go check on our flowers. I have never seem such unprofessionalism disrespect and tackiness on a already heartbreaking occasion. Less

Not a good place for a service they allowd people to walk in and out of the funeral home as the service was going on. It was very distracting. Then when the service was over they rushed everyone out of the building. Not very friendly people that work there.
