Testimonials from Families We Have Served

I will never forget how you ALL made me feel.

I’ve been struggling for months to find the right words to express my gratitude for everything you and your staff did for me and my family during a most difficult time.  Simply put—there are no words.  Although my husband had been ill for many months, his passing happened much quicker than I expected so no arrangements had been made prior to his death.  The only thing I knew was that he wanted you to handle things (what a relief).  I’d walked through your front  door many times before, but never as a widow.  I hadn’t the first clue about the order of things.  I never worried though—I knew I was in the right place.  From beginning to end, you and your staff were extraordinary.  I will never forget seeing him in the viewing room for the first time—your work literally took my breath away.  It was so important to me that he look as close to “normal” as possible for my children.  The job you did was impeccable.  Even the way you were with the children at the graveside, taking time to explain what was happening, was invaluable.  Thank you for that.  You should be very proud of the work you and your staff do.  I will never forget how you ALL made me feel.  I was able to walk out that front door feeling reassured, content and proud.  I cannot thank you enough for an exceptional job.  Your kindness and decency will never be forgotten.

A Special Group of People

No Words That Can Express

John & Staff,

I have no words that can express how grateful I am for all you did for us.  You’ve helped my family many times in the past, but this was by far the most painful loss of my life.  You showed so much compassion for us and were so very kind.  I had many compliments on my mom’s visitation, urn and service.  I think you, your staff and Pollock-Randall Funeral Home do the best job in town with everything.  I know my mom would have been pleased and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

Simply Amazing!

John & Laura, 

Thank you so much for the kindness you showed us during such a difficult time.  The young man who came to our home the day after dad’s passing was such a kind and gentle man.  He gave us immediate comfort for the process ahead.  John K., you found a way to make us laugh were always there to provide help and answers, making each day more bearable.  And Laura!  Simply amazing!  Your knowledge, comfort and ease of process took a huge burden from all of us.  You were a pleasure to work with and we can’t thank all of you enough.  If there could be such a thing as a perfect funeral you provided us that.  Your family is amazing and caring when other families need you most.  God bless you.

Message from a Local Pastor

Thank you for the Funeral book and box of chocolates.  Please know that I enjoy working hand-in-hand with your funeral home. 

Thank You

Thank you for your kind help planning my Dad's memorial. It was just what he would have wanted. Thank you for arranging the honor guard - so beautiful and meaningful. Most of all - thank you for Rev. Max (Amstutz). I was on shaky ground and he just created calm and peace. I didn't know there would be a CD of his service - to be able to listen to his words alone with my thoughts & memories is a gift.

A Special Day

Thank You Personally

Thank You Personally

I wanted to thank you personally for all your help and support. Funerals are such a difficult time - and with two deaths within a year, you and your staff took care of everything so efficiently. I was a little stressed with the "short prep time" but it all fell in place and went smoothly. A special thanks to Laura, she was great to work with also.
