My husband and I are incredibly grateful to Jessie and David for everything they did to make my brother-in-law's service perfect. Whether it was just a phone call or email away, or simply reassurance that everything would be alright, the two of them made it go as smoothly as possible. We are grateful for all that they did for us. Despite having one of the most difficult professions imaginable, Jessie and David are able to maintain their warmth and grin. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you both. There are no two greater people in the world to assist you in saying goodbye to a loved one.

Eggers was amazing and made our funeral and arrangements as smooth as possible. We were from out of town so they took care of the details so that we could focus on other parts of getting ready for the service. They had a personal touch that was comforting and they really cared for us like family! We recommend Eggers to anyone who is looking for a funeral home that will serve you with grace in care during difficult times.

We had a very nice experience with Floyds Greenlawn. They helped us in the passing of our brother, they listened to what we had to say and incorporated that into the service, we couldnt have asked for more.

I lost my Mom and was devastated. I went with my 90 year old father and brother to make arrangements and Lori Posey was absolutely amazing dealing with us during this grief. She was so caring, kind, and patient. She explained everything that we needed to do so carefully. She provided me with her contact number for questions. She fixed my Mom to look like herself even with all the damage to her face, and she just showed how sincerely she cared about all of us. Her kindness and attention to every detail was so appreciated. It made things so much easier for our family. She felt like a friend at a time when we all needed that. I am so grateful.

They are the best. We came broken and mentally distraught but, they helped us throught it all. They are willing and able to provide you with your vision for the homegoing service for your loved ones. Whatever we asked, there was no hesitation to make it work and provide ideas. They were always communicating and making things happen even on the holiday. We are very appreciative and grateful for the beautiful homegoing service provided from you all. Watson/Fields family

In reading a couple of other bad reviews, I felt compelled to write my own, because those dont reflect MY experience at all. This funeral home recently handled the services of my Father, and I was VERY pleased with the professionalism of Mr. Hicks from beginning to end. Im sure all businesses have issues, and problematic employees, but Everything went very smoothly for my family, and only errors they made in the initial obituary needed correction, which he immediately addressed, and made sure the corrections were properly made!!

When it comes to death, it is never planned and never to the degree that happened with my mother. Trying to find places to be able to do her cremation was hard for a family like mine that doesn't have a lot of money when it comes to things like this. E.L. Collins, with the help of Mr. Rod, turned the crestfallen grief of losing my mother into a place of not only peace but a place that you can always depend on to be punctual with any questions or concerns you might have for a passed loved one. Be able to guide you like they did with my mom through one of the most challenging times in my life, into something that I can say that put honor on my mother and took great care of her through her transition to the afterlife. I only have words of praise and admiration for the caring and warmth that E.L. Collins has provided. I couldn't recommend them more, from the assistance of being able to offer an affordable and memorable way to my mother, to the talks about life and how to move on, and being

Death and the grief that comes with it are tragic experiences that you can't be prepared for no matter how hard you try. To be helped and guided through the decisions you have to make is easier when your help and guidance comes from the patient knowledgeable and professional staff of EL Collins Funeral Home. The empathy, care, and patience they give during your time of sorrow, lets you know your bank account isn't their bottom line. They were very helpful in advising on options that wouldn't leave my family with a staggering bill. Trusting in a family-owned funeral home that continues to maintain the values and standards passed on through generations of service was comforting to our family and reduced some of the stress we felt.

You won't find a more caring or compassionate mortuary anywhere else, the team at Palmetto in Spartanburg is top notch. Maggie in particular was fantastic, walking is through every step of the process, patiently answering all of our questions, and suggesting options that fit within our budget rather than trying to up-sell and make more profit.

My family has always used Floyds services. Most of my family is buried at Greenlawn. When my husband recently passed away, I knew they would be my go to. Scott and his team were so professional and compassionate. They were able to coordinate the most beautiful military service for my husband who was a Marine Corps veteran. We are so grateful for Floyd's wonderful staff!

Google Reviewer

My mother-in-law recently passed away. She had requested that Floyds handle the funeral because she had been pleased with their services in the past. Aida helped our family and I must say that we were all extremely pleased with her and the service she provided throughout the entire process. We felt comfortable with her from the moment we met her. She went above and beyond in helping us plan the funeral and was extremely understanding when we were last minute getting the obituary and photos for the video to her! I know that planning a funeral is not something that anyone wants to do, but I can honestly say that Aida made everything very stress free because she was so knowledgeable, efficient, and extremely caring.
