I highly recommend the services of Family Choice Funerals & Cremations. Mike Strickland assisted us…read morethrough a very unexpected death and final arrangements. His professionalism and empathetic approach helped us make the decisions we could financially afford while honoring our loved one. Our family had selected a funeral home we had used in the past. It was obvious they saw us as a returning family with the assumption we would need similar services. The approach was so impersonal and cold - lacking any compassion for our current situation. The quoted prices were completely out of our budget. This made it necessary for us to consider other services. When we contacted Mike Strickland, it was an easy decision to have them pick up our loved one and handle the cremation. From the first contact until the delivery of ashes, Mike Strickland was so kind, listened and offered suggestions/recommendations. Every detail was communicated and delivered as promised. It is without a doubt the best experience one could have at a very stressful and emotional time. We will return when these services are needed again. Literally, we felt Mike Strickland's priority was first to serve our family...not to sell us. Please if you have a need speak to Mike Strickland before you begin your plan. You will be thankful you did! Thanks very much Mike. We'll see you again for our pre-planning needs. Hope and Teresa

It's hard to choose this or that for a loved one gone on before. But Doral (rhymes with Coral) was an amazing help. His brother David also a tremendous help.

It's never good when someone passes away, but I share my review with you in the event that you are…read moreconsidering H. D. Oliver for your loved one. Well, they did a great job. From the initial phone call to arranging the motorcycle escort to the cemetery, these folks were professional and helpful to a tee. Their limo even took family to a third location where an informal reception was held, no problem. Inside the funeral home (funeral apartment?), there was a main room laid out with pews and a small dais at the front. Off to one side, a separate room where family could get together separately or where people could take a few minutes to catch a brief respite from the emotions of the event. The rooms were bright and airy, not stuffy or dingy at all. Plenty of parking in the lot at the back. Easy enough to get to from 264. Their folks did a great job of keeping things on schedule without rushing at all. As I said, very professional. While I certainly hope not to need their service, if I do have such a need then I will give these folks a call. If you're here, please accept my condolences on your loss. You'll be in good hands.
