Adkins Funeral Home

When my Father, at the young age of 66, unexpectedly passed away this past September, my brothers and I were not prepared to say the least. Not prepared for the loss, the sadness, or for all the decisions that we needed to make quickly.
When we went in for our consultation, everyone at Adkins Funeral Home was very compassionate and helped us through a very difficult experience.
Walter, the Funeral Director, guided us through the decision making process, explaining every detail of the options we had for the services. When we needed things explained several times, because it is hard to focus when you are grief stricken, he was always very patient and understanding.
Walter was extremely professional. His experience and knowledge of what needed to be done every step of the way was a relief and weight off of our shoulders. Once all the arrangements had been made, we felt at ease in knowing everything would be taken care of.
They spent time getting to know us and learning about our Father so they could help us in honoring his life. The Funeral Associate, Sheri, helped us write the Obituary and she took care of getting it published in the paper and on their online Obituaries page. A beautiful Memorial video was made from our pictures of our Dad, it was thoughtfully made and was very touching.
They took extra care and consideration to make sure our wishes were met and that everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Adkins Funeral Home because the compassionate care and professional services help the family through an extremely sorrowful process in a way that gives peace and closure.

I thought that the owner and his wife were extremely professional and caring. I think what Curt B. (the other reviewer on here) maybe expressing is the owners jovial personality. I never thought it was ever inappropriate, on the contrary, he can sometimes provide a much needed smile when everyone around you is falling apart. I think it just boils down to different personalities and perspectives.

If I could give this place no stars I would. I can not tell you what a horrible experience we had at this «business». We were grieving over the loss of a child and the owner «joked» and laughed while we were experiencing the worst thing a parent can go through. This business owner was one of the most insensitive people I had ever met and made a truly tragic experience even worse. I could go on about what awful things this «business» did… but it’s still to painful. I have every intention of letting everyone I know, about my families experience. Please look elsewhere for your funeral needs.
