When a loved one dies there are so many emotions being experienced by members of the family. The staff of McAlisters adapts to each family members needs with compassion and professionalism. Our family was no exception to the constant support they give to every family. Thank you.
The family of Martha W. Fox would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Rodney, Michelle and the entire staff of James A. McAlister s funeral home. Your kindness, patience and support meant so much to us at such a difficult time. Rodney, we are especially grateful for your gentle guidance as we made arrangements for our mother. The visitation was beautiful, and her Mass and burial were absolutely perfect. We truly appreciate all you did to honor her memory.
I highly recommend this group of wonderful people to anyone. Its a one-location, small organization that immediately made me feel comfortable and heard when planning my fathers cremation and memorial service. The individualized attention was incredible. I truly felt welcomed into their family. Rodney Pendell was available day and night to address any questions or issues. He worked with me to ensure the obituary and service accurately represented the humor and personality of my Dad. Michelle and Tripp were fantastic and so supportive. You feel the positive energy the second you enter the building.
