Chapmans has been a family business friend for many years. I worked with Dora on my moms pre need, though, she has since retired and with my mom recently passing away Matt Morgan, Chase and Charles Chapman Jr did a wonderful presentation. Everyone that attended her funeral sang their praises of how well the service was. Thank you Chapmans for everything!!!!

My mother recently passed away Reger assisted our family with the arrangements and we could not have asked for any better service than we received. Thank you for your kindness during this difficult time d

Google Reviewer

The people at Reger Funeral Home are always very sympathetic to the needs of the family. They helped my Mother when she buried our Dad, and they assisted my sister and I when we made plans for our Mom. We could not have been in more caring hands, and were so appreciative of the assistance we were given at such a hard time.

Google Reviewer

When my mom passed Reger Funeral Home took care of everything and to be honest it made the whole process itself so much easier on the family. I would recommend their services to anyone who need them, they did a great job.

Lance is a star. We live in California and needed the assistance of Ferrell-Chambers to ship our relative's remains back to us. At every step of the way, Lance was informative, helpful and accurate. Could not possibly pass along any higher praise for him during this time. Thank you very very much.

Tri state cremation goes above and beyond! I live in Summersville but my father passed away at St. Mary's hospital. We called around several places and Tri-State cremation was the only place that was affordable. This was the first death in my family that I had to make arrangements for and I'm so glad that everyone at Tri-State cremation helped me because I didn't know what I was doing and they talked me through it and helped me get all the paperwork that I need to do. They communicated very well with me so I understood everything that needed done. I highly recommend them.

Google Reviewer

The best cremation prices I have ever heard. They ensured my family was able to afford putting my sister to rest without a huge financial burden. Tyler was very kind and made me feel right at home!!!

Google Reviewer

I had done extensive research around the tristate area to find the most affordable options for cremation when my grandmother was on hospice care. Over the few weeks of research because of the affordable pricing and Tyler's care and professionalism, I decided to go with Tri-State Cremation Society. I recommend that anyone going through a loss do their research before choosing a funeral home for your loved one. I did, and I am glad I did because I made the best choice possible by coming to Tyler!
