I had to go back to Blakely Funeral Home at 1:00 pm. The funeral service for my late brother in law…read morewas today. Two days in a row at a place I don't particularly care for is a bit nerve wracking. The service itself ( like the perfectly orchestrated visitation yesterday ) was likewise executed to perfection! Each staff member of this place knew their part by heart and it was amazing. A truly gifted pastor named Reverend Tommy Wright delivered the main message. Another lay person also gave an uplifting speech and provided Holy Scripture as his reference. Blakely Funeral Home performed beyond excellent! Of course I highly recommend them in your time of need.

Everything was orchestrated perfectly from the visitation, to the service to the graveside ceremony and military send-off. I've sadly attended a number of funerals but this ceremony was, by far, the most memorable and flawlessly executed. Ashby is also an accomplished singer as was demonstrated with him singing "Give Me Jesus". Super job. Joel and Linda Buice; Elmira, New York.

I wouldn't consider any other business when deciding where to send my loved ones in the Greenville area. They sought out the immediate family members (even those of us from out of town) during the services and viewing and made sure to introduce themselves and help guide us through the custom of receiving friends and family, seeking grief counseling services if needed, and attending to any special requests we had. They went above and beyond and were found to be a strange comfort to us during an intensely difficult time. They conducted themselves professionally and with sympathy for our loss. They facilitated the most perfect 'goodbye' I never wanted to imagine. Thank you, McAfee family for your gentleness, attention to detail, shoulder to cry on, and ear to lend. I wish I never had to see you again, but when I do, I have confidence in the quality I know you provide.

I also appreciated they used local businesses as well for the funeral for the floral arrangements, etc. I would highly recommend them and appreciate all the care they took with our family at such a difficult time.

There are two prior reviews on this mortuary that are negative. I feel compelled to not only write…read morean extremely positive review but to try to correct some of the misinformation others stated. From the moment my mother-in law died the staff of the mortuary guided us through the whole process. From telling us to call EMS first, to sending two extremely professional gentlemen to remove the body back to the mortuary, every effort was made to comfort and advise the family and to explain every step in the process. We had long ago decided to cremate our family members and the mortuary guided us through every step in the process. I don't know how many people understand the legalities that must be observed with every death, but especially with a cremation. The coroner has to give permission to release the body to the funeral home when it was a home death. He has to decide that there are no nefarious or illegal circumstances. Then a death certificate must be issued and all,( 100 per cent) of the survivors( spouse and all listed children ) must sign that they agree with the cremation. Someone commented negatively on the costs but the family is given a very clear and explicit listing of the costs charged for every available service. The funeral /and or services can be as expensive and ostentatious as the family desires or as simple and uncomplicated as the family desires, it is absolutely up to the family. Unlike my prior expectations and perceptions there was no pressure to do anything other than what the family wished. We were presented with a very thorough list of available services and allowed to select what we wished. This facility is in almost constant use and really doesn't have the option of closing for renovations for long periods of time. The suggestion that they should move to acquire a bigger lot is almost ludicrous given the way that Greenville is growing and developing. The land the facility sits on is probably extremely valuable there on Augusta Road but it would probably be economic suicide to up and move the mortuary to say ,Five Forks or Travelers rest. The community they serve and the clientele they serve would not be well served by such a move. We would like to commend young Mr. Garrett, and Leah for carrying on the proud legacy left by their parents and commend them for their caring attitude to the grieving families. Thank you Watkins Garrett and Woods Mortuary. The family of Naomi Mozelle Hubert White.

My Father, who is 95 was so impressed by the professional way everything was handled from beginning to end. My Father was once the District Plant Manager for Timken, and so he is very detail oriented. My Mother Passed July of 2025 in a skilled nursing facility, and when the kind men came to get her at 4:00 am dressed respectfully in suits they gave us time to say our goodbyes. The following day my Father and Brother were able to select all the things we needed as a family to make a lovely celebration of Life. The Funeral Home is beautiful and we were able to have a tribute playing on a screen with 80 pictures and music. The organist who also has an amazing voice did an outstanding job. We were allowed to use tables in the different areas to display pictures and memorabilia to celebrate Mom's life. Everything went beautifully and on schedule. There was plenty of parking for our guests, clean bathrooms, kleenex and sanitizers in every room for the guests. All of the kind folks there listened to our needs and carried everything out to perfection. We will continue to use Woods in our family and highly recommend it to anyone in search of a Funeral Home.
