Today I was remembering how well everyone took care of us and our baby girl (Buffy). It has been years and I still feel like it was yesterday. She was a princess to us and she got the princess treatment going to her final resting place. I was staring at the beautiful paw print they made for her and remembered the instant love, care, and detail everyone put into every aspect of her aftercare. You all will always be a forever go to for our fur babies aftercare and you have left the best of memories on our hearts in how you cared for us and her. Thank you so much � Thank you Gia Kondakor for being so compassionate and attentive during our time of grief and thank you Jasmin Maulding for being there to meet us with her. When you brought out the cart to transport her, all the beautiful blankets that were waiting to carry her to her next destination, it reminded me that princess treatment can exist even beyond this realm. So thank you, because those memories last a lifetime.
Mcalister-smith was very helpful with my husband's grave side service. When I explained that I would like something deserving of who he had been, but that I was on a budget, that's exactly what they figured out for me how to do. I was beyond pleased with the service.
I wanted to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for Gene and Cheryl Pardee during a profoundly difficult time in my family's life. Since my mother passed away on July 23, 2025, they have been instrumental in helping us navigate through our grief. From the moment she passed at the hospital to the present day, when I needed copies of her obituary, their support has been invaluable. I highly recommend McCalister-Smith (West Ashley) for anyone in need during such challenging times.
