I am very pleased with Northwood Funeral and I highly recommend them. Paul was so understanding, considerate, empathetic, and helpful. I remembered how wonderful they were with the services for my mother in 2019 but was given several other funeral homes to consider. I contacted other funeral homes but Im so glad that I chose them. Now one year later after losing my beloved son, they continue to follow up me. Showing stellar service, empathy, and compassion. They are the perfect choice at an unimaginable difficult time. Thank you Paul and the Northwood Funeral Home staff. Warmest Regards, Cheryl Johnson (mother of Jordan A. Riley 3/16/99 - 10/18/24)

After looking around for funeral homes and having negative experiences, we found Tillman Funeral Home and Crematory, and I am very glad we did. From the start, they were very welcoming, friendly and professional. Anthony worked with my mother and I to plan my fathers cremation and was very helpful and pleasant throughout the entire process. After my father was cremated, they carefully placed the ashes in the urns to make it easier for us. If you want you and your loved ones to be treated with respect during your difficult time, Tillman is the place to go. Thank you, again for everything O�

Zeke Williams at Royal Palm Cemetery was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. He took the time to sit with us and thoughtfully showed us around the cemetery without any rushing, helping us select the best possible area for my son. The Biblical Garden was perfect. Zeke carefully explained all pricing, ledger options, and every detail involved, making sure my wishes for my sons location and stone were fully understood. His quality service and genuine attention during my grieving process helped me through one of the hardest tasks Ive ever had to face. His compassion and professionalism made an extremely difficult process much easier, and Im truly grateful for his guidance.

During a very difficult time in our family's life, we couldn't have asked for better service. Michael Edgley was very warm, sensitive to our family's needs, and patient in discussing our options. Everything was carried out to the last detail as promised. Highly recommend.

If youre reading this, Im assuming you and your family are mourning. I am truly sorry. The team at Edgely will, however, make this part of the process as painless as possible. There is no hard sell or guilt trip, but there is plenty of compassion and respect. I could not more highly praise the experience working with them.

They picked my husband up from hospice and contacted me right away to let me know he was safe with them. Their condolences were sincere and comforting.

I am truly humbled and grateful beyond words. The experience of celebrating my uncle Marvin's life from start to finish was nothing short of phenomenal.

I cannot put into words how grateful and appreciative I am, for how Journey Memorial held my brothers home going. With flying him home from another state to Florida, Within 2-3 weeks of running around getting things prepared, Marcus reassured my family and I not to worry, that he will handle all of it for us. He kept us updated daily, and showed us the love and support we needed most during the hardest time in our lives. Not knowing what to do and how to go about things, he held our hands through it all, and he took so much weight off of our shoulders. My brothers service was breath taking beautiful&And Im just extremely grateful for Marcus and his JMC family. They are so kind, and I Pray GOD Blesses Them and May They prosper in business and in life. I feel like my word arent enough&. GOD BLESS THEM. Thank you Marcus again, with tears in my eyes, you are truly heaven sent. Thank you.

My family could not stress enough how helpful this funeral home has been to us. They made such a hard time seamless. Albert kept us laughing throughout the time of planning that we almost forgot we were planning a funeral. And Reggie was there polishing loose ends. Every time we thought of something and would call he always said Ive already taken care of that. Indeed, it was. I could not have chosen a better establishment. My family thought I was the planner of the year, but it was all McWhites. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Ive been meaning to write this review for months and passed by there today and thought about it but I wasnt even there for myself I was there with my friend who loss her son and I must say the service was impeccable and the cleanliness and appearance of the place was on point. I remember when this was old Colemans and they have done extensive work especially on the inside. I didnt know about them but this is seriously a hidden gem. Their cars were top of the line. They made sure we knew they owned their cars. I cant wait to see the motorcycle hearse or something like that in person but she ended up going with the Rolls Royce (I think thats the name hearse) but the guy did tell me its the only one in South Florida and there arent many in Florida at all.

Everything was good, it smelled very good inside. Place looks like a totally different place inside then when I grew up as a kid around Colemans.
