My family selected Taylor Funeral Home to conduct my aunts funeral first of November 2025. The customer service was outstanding from the time the appointment was booked until my aunt had been laid to rest. Ms. Ebonie Phillips was very caring. Her words of comfort allow us feel like it was truly a homegoing celebration for my aunt. She took the time to explain the difference in the caskets and all it entails. She was very patient and answered every question each one of had. Don't let me forget the othe staff members. Each one always had a comforting smile. I will be using Taylor Funeral Home in the future and telling others about the wonderful service received.

When my mom passed she had chosen Vance Funeral Home to take care of her final needs when she left this earth. Our family was very pleased with the way they handled the job. They made all the final decisions simple and answered all questions. My mom looked beautiful when I was able to say my final goodbye. They have contacted me several times since her passing to see if the family needed anything. They have been a blessing from the day they picked my mom up from her home the day she passed away to the last day I said goodbye.
