I never thought about the need for a funeral home until my husband died suddenly. I knew I…read morepreferred to use a local Chapel Hill company and am so glad I chose Walker's. I dreaded going there for the first time, but was immediately put at ease. Timothy met me, sat down with me and explained everything. Although I arrived with a rough draft of the obituary, Timothy helped me finalize it and select a photo. He explained about the cremation process, explained the various urns. I opted for the compostable one, as I am planning to spread the ashes. I asked about the certified Death Certificate. Timothy was very helpful. I was ready to purchase 10+, but he advised that 5 would probably be more than sufficient and if I needed add'l ones, just phone Walker's and they will order them. It turns out he was correct--5 has been plenty. He did not try to oversell in any way. He was very respectful of the grieving process. When I returned to collect the "cremains", I again was assisted by wonderful staff who helped make a sad event not quite so sad. I highly recommend Walker's Chapel Hill. They show compassion and respect and assist throughout the process.

I can't begin to thank the staff of Knotts Funeral Service enough for their sensitivity,…read moreprofessionalism, and general overall friendliness during this painful period in my life. I had to fly out from California after my brother died in late March. Heather, over at the Crisis Center of the Chapel Hill Police Department, kindly provided me with a list of funeral homes. While everyone was professional, they were also almost twice as much as Knotts. And while I know it might appear unseemly to some to consider costs when it comes to planning the death of a loved one, it was less about the cost of cremating my brother than the way cremation was presented. Each person I spoke with at Knotts took their time with me. I never felt rushed nor did I feel like I was just a potential sale (as I did at a few of the others). While I will probably not need their services again, I can't recommend them highly enough. They are a small, family-owned business and it showed in every aspect of the process. Thanks, everyone. You made the pain a little more bearable for me and I hope others read this review and take my advice and use your services.

My 31-year-old son unexpectedly passed away, and from the very first phone call with Olivia, I felt a sense of comfort and care that I truly needed. Her gentle voice, compassion, and patience meant more to me than words can describe. She took the time to explain everything clearly and never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. From beginning to end, she handled every detail with such kindness and professionalism, making an unbearable situation just a little bit easier to get through. The team did an absolutely beautiful job preparing my son for the family viewing--he looked peaceful, and that is something I will carry with me forever. I also had the honor of meeting the owner, Edward, who was incredibly kind and comforting. You can truly feel that this is not just a business, but people who genuinely care.
