HD Oliver did everything for me. Because of how networked they are in the area, they pick up your loved ones from wherever they are and fill out all the necessary documentation through a hassleless method. They easily could have give me a lot of problems, but instead they took the time to understand my situation and worked through all of it with me. Everything was completed in a matter of 4 days and I was able to come by and pick up the remains at their Norfolk location. I did not use their facilities for a reception so I will not be able to comment on that, but they do deserve 4 stars for their empathy and diligence.

His professionalism and empathetic approach helped us make the decisions we could financially afford while honoring our loved one. Our family had selected a funeral home we had used in the past. It was obvious they saw us as a returning family with the assumption we would need similar services. The approach was so impersonal and cold - lacking any compassion for our current situation. The quoted prices were completely out of our budget. This made it necessary for us to consider other services. When we contacted Mike Strickland, it was an easy decision to have them pick up our loved one and handle the cremation. From the first contact until the delivery of ashes, Mike Strickland was so kind, listened and offered suggestions/recommendations. Every detail was communicated and delivered as promised. It is without a doubt the best experience one could have at a very stressful and emotional time. We will return when these services are needed again. Literally, we felt Mike Strickland's priority was first to serve our family...not to sell us. Please if you have a need speak to Mike Strickland before you begin your plan. You will be thankful you did! Thanks very much Mike. We'll see you again for our pre-planning needs. Hope and Teresa

There are moments in life when words fall short--but I will do my best to honor the incredible care…read moremy family received from Beach Funeral & Cremation Services. On April 15, 2026, they helped us lay my mother to rest, and what they created was nothing short of breathtaking. Every detail--from the release of the doves, to the elegance of the mausoleum, the moving words of the preacher, the gentle touch of the organist, the stunning floral arrangements, the thoughtfully prepared food, and the seamless coordination of transportation--was handled with excellence and grace. It was not just a service; it was a beautiful homegoing celebration worthy of the life my mother lived. What truly set this experience apart was their heart. This team didn't just "do their job"--they walked alongside me. They checked in often, not out of obligation, but out of genuine care, always asking how I wanted to honor my momma. They listened. They guided. They supported. In one of the most difficult moments of my life, they made me feel seen, heard, and held. From the phenomenal ladies at the front office (yes, I absolutely adore you all--go on, girls!) to the dedicated team working behind the scenes, every single person demonstrated professionalism, patience, compassion, and class. Their ability to balance organization with empathy is truly a gift. If this were a performance, every member of this team would deserve an Emmy, a standing ovation, and more. But this wasn't a performance--it was real, sincere, and deeply meaningful service delivered with excellence. Thank you for helping me give my mother the farewell she deserved. You didn't just meet expectations--you exceeded them in every possible way. Bravo to each and every one of you. You are truly remarkable.

Doing a review for a funeral home is very bittersweet. Let's be honest, who looks forward to…read morefuneral services? However, during a really difficult time for my family while handling the death of my grandmother, we enlisted Crocker Funeral Home to assist with her final wishes. Millions of THANKS to Ms. Ebony Johnson, who was EXTREMELY helpful to my family, especially to my mother, while trying to navigate such an emotional time. She made the process much easier and took care of so much. When there were "family complications," she was patient and gave us reasonable enough time to get things situated and straightened out. At one point, there was a minor mix-up with the obituaries and Ms. Ebony had it corrected right away without issue. That speaks to customer service for me. Now, in relation to the care, I will say that I literally cried when seeing my grandmother for the first time after her passing. I had to hug Ms. Ebony after seeing my grandmother. My grandmother had not looked like herself in such a long while due to being ill, and they really restored her (pre-sickness) beauty and made sure she was put away with dignity. I admit I was even pretty tickled because they requested we provide necessities that were inclusive of a slip and panty hose. (Why would she need a slip and panty hose??!!). But then it was explained that it was regarding the dignity and properly putting the person away. Also, my grandmother wasn't overly caked with make-up where she looked like a completely different person (you know the strange ghastly look), and each and every person who came said how beautiful she looked! The limo and the hearse drivers were friendly and courteous. We were very happy with what was provided, and we are very grateful for the help from Crocker!
