Unfortunately, my brother and I have been faced with the task of burying both of our parents, over…read moreless than a three year period. Neither of us knew anything about how to make arrangements nor the million details and decisions that go into it. We opted to go with Padgett and King Funeral Home in Forest City purely based on its longevity in the area and the beautiful colonial style building on Main Street. Luckily, it turned out to be the best possible choice! After our father's sudden death, owner and director, Shane Early, took us through every step smoothly and easily, minimizing any stress for us and he coordinated every aspect from service arrangements to obituary to burial. We were fortunate that he was available again when our mother passed away several weeks ago. He is a truly kind, knowledgeable and dependable/responsive gentleman who answered every question, phone call and text as if we were the only family he was helping. I can't say enough wonderful things about Padgett and King, its staff, and particularly, Mr. Shane Early. You will not regret working with this fine company!

A few weeks back we lost a loved one, we are not from the area and we don't have a church home near…read morethe area. Once we got the news of the passing of our beloved, I was then tasked with finding a suitable funeral home to provide the services what we will need during this difficult time. As a family member who lives out of state I decided to Google and thru my research I chose to contact the Wright Funeral Home. I am so happy and blessed that I made the correct choice. I called and left a message and Mrs. Wright returned my call promptly and with an empathetic ear she advised me of my options, and also provided info that was of a great help to us. I could tell she knew what she was talking about as her experience oozed over the phone and I was then confident in her handling our loved one's final arrangements after just one call and speaking on the phone to her. She was amazing from start to finish. We submitted the obituary & pictures to them and they did a wonderful job. My family had more face to face dealings with Mrs. Wright and her staff and they all sang praises of how they all were very professional and on point with all things that needed to be addressed. We were very very pleased at the service they provided and on behalf of my family we would like to say: Thank you for all your assistance during this difficult time in our family. God Bless & Thank you so much. xoxoxo

There's eight hundred forty two documented gravesites. That sounds realistic to me as the cemetery lies behind the church and seemed to be in excess of three acres of property. Some of the older burial sites are marked with fieldstone and offer no identification. The cemetery itself is in immaculate condition with the grass having been recently cut. There were some identifiable older graves and I took some photos.

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.
