We are forever grateful to Everly Funeral Home for the compassionate care they gave during my grandmothers funeral. From the very first phone call, Ashley guided my mom and me with patience, empathy, and respect, helping us through a process we had never faced before. Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and genuine care, making an incredibly difficult time a little more bearable. We felt truly supported, comforted, and understood throughout the entire process. We cannot thank Ashley and the entire Everly team enough for their kindness, professionalism, and heartfelt attention

I never thought I would have to do this so soon after my parents. These arrangements were even more difficult because it was unexpected and so sudden and for a dear brother in law. I reached out to Everly via email and was connected with Ashley and she responded right away. Although these arrangements were delayed she and Andrea worked me through it all from beginning to the end. Everything was beautiful and perfect for my brother in law. This was hard for my sister and her family and I wanted to make sure everything was perfect. My sister and her family did not have to worry about anything. Thank you Everly.

I cannot say enough good things about Murphy Funeral Home. We came from Florida with my father-in-laws ashes for burial at Arlington National Cemetery in November 2025. The funeral home we used for cremation in Florida had transferred his ashes to a plastic box for airport security screening. We had brought a square marble urn for the ashes to be used in the niche at Arlington and had called Murphy to see if they would do a re-transfer for us. We were so impressed at the kindness and dignity with which they treated us. They not only transferred the ashes for us, but they placed the urn in a beautiful special grey felt carrier along with a note on our loss and an ornament of remembrance. They did not charge us anything, although we asked to pay. This is a funeral home that cares about helping people at a time of great sorrow. On behalf of our family, I thank you so much.

Saudia could not have been more helpful to our family. She made a stressful situation so much better. My brother's viewing was tastefully done. His memory table was thoughtfully put together. I could not have made it look so nice. Everyone I dealt with at Murphy Funeral Home was kind and compassionate.
