I want to express my deepest gratitude to T.E. Cooke-Overton and their staff for providing an extraordinary experience during such a challenging time. My grandmother passed away on May 2, 2023, and Renee and the Overton family went above and beyond to make my grandmothers Home-going Service a beautiful and memorable event. Their elegant and professional demeanor ensured that my family and my grandmother were represented with utmost dignity and respect during our bereavement. They meticulously planned and executed every detail, making sure everything was done impeccably and in order. From the very beginning, I was impressed by their compassion and dedication to providing exceptional service. Renee personally guided me through the entire process, taking the time to understand my wishes and making sure they were met, even exceeding my expectations. Unlike other funeral homes that prioritize profit over personal care, the Overton family was genuinely committed to ensuring that I receiv

I recently had the honor of officiating my first memorial service at T.E. Cooke-Overton Funeral Home, and I am beyond grateful for the experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm and inviting, creating a comforting atmosphere that truly made a difference during a challenging time. The facilities were not only gorgeous but also exuded a loving and cozy ambiance that helped ease the grieving process for the family and guests. Ms. Overton, the Funeral Director Manager, was exceptionally accommodating and understanding, while Ms. Battles extensive knowledge and support were invaluable. Despite the inevitable anxieties of my first service, the professionalism and compassion shown by Mrs. Overton and Ms. Battle made everything feel seamless. Even when faced with unexpected delays, such as one of the daughters being stuck in traffic, they went above and beyond to ensure the complete comfort of everyone involved. Working with T.E.

We cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and support we received from Parr Funeral Home and Crematory during such a difficult time. From the moment we walked in, Sarae was warm, compassionate, and incredibly professional. She made a heartbreaking situation feel a little less overwhelming. Saraes attention to detail was beyond anything we could have hoped for. From the slideshow to the obituary program  even taking the time to photograph every flower arrangement along with its card so we knew exactly who to send thank-you notes to  she thought of everything. She listened to our wishes, respected every request, and guided us with gentle reassurance through each step of the process. My mother looked beautiful  natural and dignified, without being overdone. Everything was handled with such grace and organization. Nothing was rushed, and no detail was overlooked. Sarae and her team coordinated with First Baptist Church to create a beautiful, meaningful service that ho

I have been blessed to have Charles and his staff handle the passing of 4 loved ones throughout the years. Beyond caring and understanding throughout the whole process and went out of their way to accommodate me and my wishes. I could not ask for a more professional team who were willing to make the grieving easier and the planning stress free.

Google Reviewer

Having unfortunately planned a number of funerals in the past two years I can firmly say that Charles Parr and the staff at Parr are the most professional and organized group I have ever worked with. Not only did they feel like family, but they thought of everything from photos of all floral arrangements to a recording of the funeral to helping us curate a playlist. They made what was one of the most difficult weeks of our lives a bit easier.

I cant give five stars. While the representative was nice to deal with when setting up the graveside service. I was a bit annoyed and embarrassed the day of the service at the cemetery. When my brother and were setting up for the graveside service for our mom, they told us the allotted 30 minutes. I was a little shocked at that. I have never been to a service that you were rushed along. Thats what happened the day of my moms service, the pastor finished, service was approx 30 minutes. We were greeting guests that came some we hadnt seen in a while we were able to talk to guests maybe 10-15 minutes then we were asked to move back multiple times so ground crew could come in. We chose to leave grounds then it was a bit embarrassing and rude. I completely understand there was another funeral a few hours later but that one was set up already. We wouldnt have been there for that long anyway. There is nothing that can be done now my Moms service is done and over bu
