God bless you Leverette, Sandy, Tecorrie and the Leevy's Staff: I just want to take this time to thank you for the awesome services you rendered regarding my deceased sister. Below are some of the comments we received from those that went to her viewing: Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful; so gorgeous; they did an awesome job; they did a FANTASTIC job; great job; great embalming outcome where she resembled herself (the person said they've seen embalming outcomes where that was not the case). And to that my husband and I would like to add the following: To Leverette, we appreciate your professionalism, pleasant spirit, compassion and integrity. Don't change. To Ms. Sandy... (I call her Mama Sandy) ... you were a blessing to us from the beginning to the end...we love your lively personality! Tecorrie, you did an awesome job with the program. We didn't have a picture of my sister by herself and the way you cropped her out of what we gave you was absolutely great! Keep going forth in excellence! Also, I don't know the name of everybody that was involved with my sister's presentation, but her make-up was done beautifully...just the way we asked (very natural, because she didn't wear make-up). Thank you for sticking to our description of her. In addition to that, allowing her hands to be shown while holding the gloves was absolutely a great touch. And of course, we can't leave out our driver (the Assistant Pastor). Thank you so much for your pleasant spirit. Talking with you during the ride was great. Also, thank you to the two pleasant ladies at the front desk. They were very helpful. And also, thank you for the gentle spirit of the gentlemen who came to the house to pick up my sister's body. You were greatly appreciated. In closing, may God bless all of you (even those I may have not mentioned specifically) ... I pray God's continued blessings upon your ministry (because that's what it is)! Thank you again... Peggy and Robert read more

I am writing this with a heavy heart and deep disappointment after the experience my family had with Leevy Funeral Home during the passing of my son. While grief is never easy, we expected compassion, professionalism, and respect from a place entrusted with our loved one's final arrangements. Unfortunately, that was not the case--especially due to one staff member in particular: Sandy. Her behavior was not just unkind--it was completely disrespectful and out of line. At one point, after the funeral home had spent an entire day trying to reach my son's estranged wife for final payment with no response, they decided to contact a close family member instead. That family member stepped up and paid the remaining balance that same day so that the services could move forward. However, when that same family member returned the next day with a simple question, they were met with hostility. Sandy began yelling at them in front of grieving family and friends who had come to pay their respects. It was shocking and completely inappropriate. Hoping to defuse the situation, my family member pulled Sally aside to calmly explain things--but even in private, Sandy continued to be dismissive and unhelpful. What made things even worse was that although we had paid for seven copies of the death certificate--three for the estranged wife and the remaining four for our family to handle the necessary affairs--Sandy flat-out refused to provide any information. She said she would only speak to the wife and that any questions would have to go through her, despite the fact that our family member was the one who had paid and had been handling everything. So it was acceptable to communicate when payment was needed--but suddenly "against state law" when it came to answering questions or offering assistance? This level of disrespect during such a vulnerable and emotional time is absolutely unacceptable. One bad apple truly can ruin the entire experience, and Sally certainly did. We are grateful for the few staff who tried to help, but the damage done by her behavior is lasting. We will never use Leevy Funeral Home again and would recommend they provide sensitivity training to staff on how to deal with grieving family members. No family should be subjected to this kind of treatment while mourning the loss of a loved one. S. Purvis read more

Definitely a good choice.. I have worked with this funeral home on multiple occasions. I always got good service when I had to come in and design caskets read more

Ms. Sandy and Mr. Robinson truly made my experience of making final arrangements for my dad Mr. Robert Jones an easy and peaceful experience! I just want to thank the whole funeral home in general, but those two were truly a blessing! read more

In the past three years I have buried my father, my youngest sister, and just recently my son, not all at Leevy's just my son. And I took some time to put my grief and loss into perspective before writing this review, so it's been a couple of months now. This was one of the worst experiences I've had to deal with, and I'm not talking about the loss of my son, I'm talking about the rude attitudes, the unprofessionalism, and blatant disrespect I personally felt along with members of my family. First off when they received my son from the coroner's office after his autopsy, that same day they allowed his estranged wife and my grandkids to view the body, I will never forget my 9-year-old granddaughter saying to me "that wasn't my dad he had blood coming out of his neck". Why was anyone allowed to see him before he was properly prepared? Then the issue became that his estranged wife put herself in charge of the proceeding, and yes, they were still, married and I fully understand state law, here is where I have a problem, I'm paying for the services and when I ask a question, they refuse to talk to me in particularly Sandy, She has to be the rudest, nastiest person working at this establishment, but here's the catch when they tried for the entire day to reach his estranged wife for final payment, she didn't answer, so they called me. I paid the remaining balance that day so the services requested could continue, the next day when I went to ask a question It was the same all over again. except this time Sandy is yelling at me, in front of family and friends who came to pay their respects, so I pulled her to the side and again tried to explain the situation, nothing got resolved I paid for seven copies of my son's death certificate three for his wife the rest for myself to handle his affairs, only to be told by Sandy that she would not give me any information regarding anything, she would only speak to his wife an if I had questions she would have to answer them. So, it was ok for the staff to talk with me when it came to paying for services but against state law when I had questions or concerns. I will never use them again, and I would not recommend anyone use their services. read more

From the time of my cousin, Robert Jones, contacting Leevy's Funeral Home till the burial of his wife (Cozette W. Jones), we received excellent, professional service from Tally at Leevy's. This young man is talented and knowledgeable beyond his years!! I don't know about the other professionals there, but Leevy's Funeral Home has a gem of a young man in Tally!! Exceptional service during our hour of need. read more

The service request by the Leevy's funeral home was excellent. I especially would like to give 10 stars if it were available to Bryony Haltiwanger for helping the Harper family give our loved one the proper burial. He was willing to answer all questions that was presented to him. Also the day of the funeral our directors Earl Scott and Michael Earle-Lyles they were the best. The ride was smooth and we never felt rushed or uncomfortable. Mr. Lyles was the perfect gentleman working with my handicapped mother. She was very impressed. Would recommend their services to everyone. Thank you for all of your time and support during theses emotional moments in our lives. read more

The service with Leevy's Funeral Home was really good. The process was smooth, and they took care of our every need during this difficult time. Mrs. Sandy was also very kind and very helpful during the process. I would recommend Leevy's Funeral Home again. They were awesome! read more

I have to agree with a previous review that leevys is operating off of reputation and has become rather relaxed in their operation. To have to deal with such frustration after losing a loved one is absolutely ridiculous. It is obvious that their processes are not efficient and they can't handle the volume. Planning the funeral went ok. I did deal with delays in returning calls and scheduling a pre conference. I will acknowledge that at the end of the day they organized a good service with very few hiccups. However months later I am still dealing with multitude of payment issues. Their biggest issue is lack of response and poor communication. I am currently owed $1600+ because they went after excess insurance funds after I paid off the account balance. They tried to issue a refund and sent check to the wrong address and are hesitant about putting a stop payment because they are concerned about a $45 stop check fee. Think twice if you want to deal with this after losing your loved one read more

Leevy's was amazing in taking care of our entire Family from the moment we talked on the phone until all services were complete. The staff were very friendly and kept me up to date with everything I needed to do or know during the most stressful time of our life. All of the provided services were performed with remarkable care and precision. Mr. Leverette Williams made himself available for my Family at all times and made the loss of my daughter something bearable. Once again they did an amazing job and I definitely recommend them to care for your Family and friends!!! read more

Mr Leevy-Johnson, I did not want this day to pass without sending this heartfelt thanks to you and ALL staff for their displayed professionalism. From the receptionist to the Pre-meet meeting, with your son Chris, First Viewing, the Wake, Pick-up, the Burial, to the Repast, and back home, we felt like my sister and I were prince and princess and our Mother was the Queen! Those top hats were classic!! I had to stop and take a photo in the middle of getting into the limo. Additionally, she really looked like she was sleeping, and with the "Mona Lisa" smile. Hat's off to the embalmer and all those who assisted!! Once again, thanks for making our Beloved Mother, Mary Furgess Cooper's Celebration of Life, truly an Anointed event, from start to finish!! read more

Leevy's is trading on reputation and sits comfortably on past laurels. They are a known quantity, the devil you know. One would think that if protecting a precious image was truly important to securing the future, one could expect better customer service. One would be wrong. Leevy's has gotten lazy and selective when it comes to caring for customer needs. If you are well connected and able somehow help promote them through media or some other source, (ie presidential photo ops) then this is certainly where you should land. You will be king. Otherwise, don't bother. They are not terribly concerned for your loved one or loss. My father passed recently. They came highly recommended. They were contacted at the time of his demise. The hour was late, message left. FIFTEEN or so hours later and three unproductive phone calls to the unconcerned and I will say inept. His remains were secured. At this point, the point where we realized they were not inclined, capable, or remotely concerned with serving our needs, we decided to make a change. We took the responsibility of caring for our loved one out of their apathetic hands. In route to get his remains released to professionals, a call was made. We got Chris. He was not particularly apologetic or caring. He seemed very good at deflection and excuses. My guess is he has a future in politics. After a brief conversation whereas part of his explanations were that "he was in the fields" our group arrived to sign the release. After being hustled to an office to chill for a bit, imagine our surprised to be introduced to Chris; right there in the house, big as day. We were accused of failing to properly notify them although a call had been made from the hospital the night before and when we arrived in town. You ever feel like someone's calling you a liar. The alternative is they're calling you stupid. Either way, no apology was made. No one cared that our father had been left to rest far far from peace. The loss of our business seemed of little consequence to them. It may be a long time before they get to the business of caring for people. Now, they are comfortable and complacent. They will continue on with business as usual until and when more people start looking at their business as they would any other, grief or no. Their best interest is not necessarily yours. Buyer beware. read more

My family has been patronizing Leevy's Funeral Home services since my mother died in 2001. Prior to that, my extended family, including my mother's sisters and brothers had been content (in spite of the sad occasions) customers for many years. Leevy's is a family owned and run establishment that I think has been around for decades and we have never received anything but compassionate consultation and efficient service from Mr. I.S. Leevy Johnson and his capable staff. In recent years at church and other community events or funerals, I've been able to interact a bit more with the son of Mr. I. S. (Reverend Chris Leevy Johnson) whose patience and assistance was indispensable in aiding us with proceedings after my brother's death. This review is my way of saying thanks because: 1) my brother's body looked great. I was so worried that he wouldn't look at all like himself but not only did he look like my beloved baby brother, he also seemed to be smiling; resting even. It was so critical for me that he appeared to be at peace. 2) Chris's demeanor and disposition was so warm and genuine that I was immediately at ease about how things would go. Despite my obvious distress, his easy nature was a true Godsend during our time of bereavement. 3) In discussion about the financial aspects of taking care of our loved one for the last time, Chris and his staff helped outline numerous options to ensure that we could meet the billing expectations related to the arrangements. Overall, I feel extremely comfortable recommending Leevy's for any and all services to bereaved families in need of funeral services. I feel like Chris and the Leevy's are now part of our extended family! read more
