My mom recently passed away and I had no idea what was to happen next. I set up a meeting with Colton from Holmes-Watkins Funeral Home to discuss our options. My husband, brother and I were greeted by Elizabeth and were made very comfortable in the meeting room. Colton came in, greeted us, right away expressed his heartfelt condolences and began. He was so very kind and sincere in presenting our options. Colton and the entire staff made our choices, our hearts and our minds at ease. I would like to personally thank Colton and the staff for their kindness during this difficult and stressful time. I feel they went above and beyond their duties. Thank you. Sincerely Lynn Rose.
Holmes and Watkins took care of both of my parents. They were very kind and compassionate with my entire family. Colton took care of everything from beginning to end. Colton always put us all at ease. I would recommend Holmes and Watkins for anybody.. Thank You Colton
When a second parent passes away, it can feel overwhelming for the person who has to take on that adult role of being in charge and organizing the funeral arrangements. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Colton Schroder and the entire team at Holmes-Watkins for guiding me through every step with compassion and professionalism when my mom passed away. Thank you for your warmth and guidance.
