I never thought to leave a review for a funeral home, but…read more.. 5 years ago, my baby girl died in my arms. The hospital did not have burial services so I was responsible for transporting my daughter's body directly from the morgue to the funeral home. It made grieving even more difficult being asked questions like "Do you want to bury her or cremate her?" I wanted to say "NEITHER! She should be alive here with me!" Some funeral directors were cold and just focused on making a sale. Some were empathic, but Ms. Avis went the extra mile. She was very warm and genuine. She really cared about my grief and my financial situation. She even drove me to the cemetery on the day we buried my baby girl. We were able to have friends' and family's financial support with a GOFUNDME to help pay for a very beautiful headstone. When you're so deep in grief and lose a loved one unexpectedly, you NEED someone to comfort, support, and help you make decisions about things you don't have much time to think through. We were really blessed to have Ms. Avis and her team be there for us during one of the most difficult times in our life.

My mom passed away earlier this year, and it was an incredibly difficult time for my family. Since…read moreI had never planned a funeral before, I was truly grateful for the guidance, patience, and support the staff at Grace Funeral Home provided. They helped us through every step with care. I pray God blesses you and your loved ones with many years together, but if you ever need a funeral home that will treat your loved one like family, I sincerely recommend Grace Funeral Home.

This is a bit long but please read to the end: In 2012, I…read morelost my youngest sister. Her homecoming and final resting place was entrusted to Grace Funeral Home in the care of Vincent Brown, Vanassa Cooper and their staff. They provided an exceptional, memorable service. Fast forward to 2015. Due to my mother's decline in her health, I relocated her from her home in Miami, Fl to MD where I was to take care of her. My mom's only request was when she passed, I get her back to Miami and have Grace take care of her and get her to Vista Memorial Gardens where my sister was laid to rest. As I saw my mom decline, all I could think about was how I was going to get her back to Miami in the event she passed away unexpectedly. Although I kept it in the back of my mind, it wasn't a priority as her health and quality of life was at the forefront. Over the last three years, her health declined demanding round the clock care. At some point, I knew I had to keep my promise to my mom to get her back to Miami in the event of her passing. I reached out to Mr. Brown, he assured me that everything would be okay, he would take me through the process, "it'll be okay!" We started the process of getting the paperwork done. Unfortunately, within a matter of a few weeks, my mom rapidly declined. On October 1, 2023, my mother passed away peacefully at home in NC. I immediately contacted Mr. Brown. From the moment I reached out to Mr Brown, he kept his word and made the process seem seamless. Since he took care of everything in the background, I was able to focus on getting to Miami and grieve without having to worry about her arrangements. At some point, I started working with Ms Cooper to provide her with what was needed for my mom, clothing, etc..... She is one of the most kind, loving and personable people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She made me feel like she was part of the family and wanted nothing but the best for mom. She will forever be my sister-friend! Upon my arrival to the funeral home for the service, I was greeted by Kevin and Bill. Kevin guided me to my mom to view her for approval prior to family and guest arriving. Not only did they capture mom's natural beauty but they laid her to rest so beautifully, she looked like she was sleeping not overly made up. She just looked like herself. As the service was coming to an end, suddenly an angelic, amazing, beautiful sound came out of nowhere and my God, let me tell you, as I lifted my head up and saw that Bill was kind enough to bless us with a song, it felt like the heavy feeling in the room was lightened. I had to keep myself from begging him to keep singing. While I knew I'd done the right thing by getting mom home and entrusting Grace, at that very moment, it solidified that mom, me and my family were right where we were supposed to be. As we left the funeral home to head to the cemetery, I had the pleasure of having a moment with Kevin. His words of comfort, warmth and genuine demeanor gave me the peace of mind not even my family could've given me. I could go on and on about the exceptional service and experience they provided but I'd be at a loss for words. From the owner to whoever maintains the facility and its grounds, that had anything to do with getting my mom to her final resting place, I am eternally grateful and appreciate them handling her with dignity, respect, compassion and GRACE! At no point did I feel like I was dealing with a business rather than a family that was there during my most difficult time of need. I wish I could give them more stars but there would never be enough to truly capture the quality of the service they provide. I am grateful and humble to have worked with them! I know mom is looking from the heavens with my sister saying "well done!"

Losing a parent, especially your mom, is never easy so the last thing you want is stress when it comes to planning the services for your beloved family member. My family had actually been using McWhites for years as my late grandparents and uncle were both serviced by them so when my mom passed, without hesitation, they were first in line to get a call. From the time they picked my mom up from the hospital until the final goodbye at the grave site, McWhites was a pleasure to work with. Everything was perfect! From the casket, to the flowers (pro tip- get roses (not mixed flowers) in a solid color for the top of the casket -- absolutely stunning), obituary (Elizabeth you did THAT! ), hair (they even laid her edges y'all :) lol) down to her makeup. She was absolutely beautiful. Everything was so smooth, and IF* there was an issue our request were quickly granted. They truly made my sister and I feel like family. A special shot out to Elizabeth and Mr. McWhite who went the extra mile for us, never turning us away! One flaw, not major but noticed, is that they were a tad bit off schedule picking us up on the day of the funeral, however; they were extremely apologetic about the time error. My only recommendation (and this has been said to Mr. McWhite directly) is that they should renovate the facilities. The bathrooms are redone but the rest of the place could be a little more modern and brighter. Because, well most times, you already go into these places somber so if you walk in and it's light and free it already provides an instant calming effect. (Yes, decor can change you whole mood) Also, add some monitors to direct families to the proper rooms for the wakes/viewings (in absence of staff/ushers). BUT none of this is necessary, only a suggestion. If you're reading this and debating if you want to use them or not for the services of your loved one I first give you my condolences. Death is hard, may God give you the peace that only He has to offer. Next, give McWhite's a call, from MY experience.. they are sure to pick up and sure to deliver! Couldn't have done it without them. I want to thank Mr. McWhite, Elizabeth and the entire staff that helped with the services for Teresa Ann Williams! I believe she would have been very proud of how we took care of her. She truly was put to rest with style and grace. Thank you all! God bless!

My family…read morehad the help of Patricia Ralph every step of the way to create the service my father-in-law deserved. We were able to display my father-in-law's beloved Model T in front of the funeral home which was extremely meaningful to us. The funeral home had plenty of comfortable seating. There is the main room for the viewing but they also have have large side living room areas for people who may may want to step out of the main room. This was also great for some of the youngest family members. The next day when my father-in-law was taken to the South Florida National Cemetery in Lake Worth, he was personally driven there by Patricia Ralph. She was able to speak to the cemetery to get a special exception to allow the family to see the casket lowered into the ground. It is not something they normally allow and it was very appreciated. We felt extremely cared for by T.M Ralph during all aspects of the funeral. They made a difficult time easier.
