My mom recently passed away. Devastated and not in the right state of mind, the church (St…read more Michael's Good Shepherd Catholic Church located in Fort Gordon), HIGHLY recommended this funeral home. They've used them in the past- praising their work and professionalism. So my family and I went with them. They took my mom from the Piedmont Hospital and from there took very good care of her. We had a meeting the same day she passed and they were very sympathetic and patient with all our questions. We ended up purchasing a beautiful white casket. The following week we had the visitation there at the funeral home, service at the church, and the burial at Fort Jackson National Cemetery in Columbia, South Carolina. The most memorable moment for me is the slideshow at the visitation. Amy the receptionist did an amazing job with the pictures we picked out. The music and the way it was assembled brought tears to many included myself. It displayed living her life to the fullest. I was impressed with the website. It showed the obituary, the dates and times of the funeral, leaving comments, and if you would like to purchase flowers. When your loved one passes away, it's stressful and the most difficult part of your life, but Thomas Poteet made this transition so easy. The communication was on point and the staff was very sincere and understanding. My family would like to thank you for your service and watching over my mother.

My experience with Thomas Poteet was excellent. Funeral Directors, Kurt and Luke, and staff member,…read moreAmy, were extremely kind, respectful, attentive, and helpful in planning and executing a gravesite burial service for my mother. All planning had to be via phone calls, but they made it extremely easy and less stressful for me. I also appreciated their being able to quickly obtain the death certificates for me.

Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about Posey Funeral Directors. During one of the most…read moredifficult times in our lives, they cared for us like family. Every member of their staff was professional, compassionate, patient, and incredibly responsive from beginning to end. They truly listened to our wishes and honored every detail as we laid my precious daddy to rest. Their kindness and genuine care brought comfort to our entire family. They were also very accommodating and flexible, even allowing us to include a special personal request that meant so much to us. We are deeply grateful for the love, respect, and dignity they showed our family throughout the entire process.

My friend prepaid for his own funeral arrangements. It was agreed to at that time, with witnesses,…read morethat his friends and family from the North Augusta area would be able to view his body at the Posey's North Augusta SC location on Georgia Ave after his passing. So he passed and I witnessed Posey's telling his surviving wife that friends and family would NOT be allowed to view his body, the wife only could view. The actual viewing would be in another State because the immediate family had called after the death and made changes. This broke my friend's wife's heart and she cried as she ran out. This upset me because this man paid for a final wish that he wasn't going to get. It was explained to me (not him) that the law says immediate family is brother and sisters and not the surviving wife. Brothers and sisters can change funeral plans regardless of who pays for the services or what the original agreement was. I protested this and 2 men representing Posey's finally relented and told me that friends and family now COULD view the body. This satisfied me because I believed them. In the end only the wife and 1 person was allowed into the building. You readers know it would cost more money to allow other people in, you also understand my friend asked for and paid for this service. My advice to people considering trusting these people to handle a funeral is simple... You have been warned. Buyer beware!!!

I was recently here for my cousin's wake, Christine Harris. She died recently and was handed off to…read moreWilliams for the burial services. Williams has been a staple in my family for years. Most of my family who dies usually use their burial services. The funeral director is a good friend of my family on both sides. My grandfather and father has done construction work for them, residentially and commercially. So it's pretty much a no-brainer when it comes to burial needs. Her wake and her remains were handled with care. There was tons of family I haven't seen in years there. She had 33 grandchildren so there was tons of kids running around. As I was leaving the wake, one of the funeral home employees was talking very rudely to the kids that was there at the wake. I thought that was out of line but hey I wasn't their parent so I wasn't going to step in for them. Other than that, everything couldn't have been better for my cousin!!!!

You expect for them to be calm, collected, patient and empathic. Platt's was none of these things. I went in to get information about how I needed to proceed.

The lady that I spoke with, not only tried to convince me to get things I didn't want, she also tried to convince me to sign a contract before I left. Telling me that if anyone else needs to sign, that they can come in later. I understand that they are in the business to make money, but to take advantage of someone doing this time is unacceptable.

It's difficult to "review" a cemetery - you just don't think of it as a reviewable place. But,…read morebeing a place I know well, I'll provide my thoughts on various aspects of it that others may find helpful: LOCATION Near the Augusta National, Westover is accessible via Berkmans Road SIZE Very large - if attending a funeral here, the roadways will be marked with "Funeral Route" signage. Note that most of the roadways in the cemetery are just barely wide enough for two vehicles to pass each other. If encountering one coming toward you, slow down and hug the shoulder of the road. THE GROUNDS The grounds are well maintained, and include a duck pond and meditation garden. Do be aware that, while you're welcome to place flowers and other memorials at a tombstone, the maintenance crew will remove them and throw them out once they're out of season. Westover is a peaceful place - allowing you to think and remember.

We selected FairHaven Funeral and Cremation as the one to handle the prearrangement for our dear friend, Lore. Prior to the final day of Lore's life, my wife and I had a meeting with Steve to make those arrangements as required. Steve was most knowledgeable and showed great compassion in these times of need. As it happens, the service was actually needed the very next day! A call to FairHaven was made and from that one call, the process was transparent and went flawless. The necessary actions were done in accordance with the wishes of the family and all relevant coordinating actions needed between the Hospital, funeral home, and the cemetery involved was done in a timely manner. The actual date of burial was arranged, the transportation of the deceased was determined and arranged for the time of the simple burial ceremony. The whole process was performed in a most professional manner. The complete procedure to include getting the copies of Death Certificates, all speak volumes of the sincere desire to do what is necessary with the least amount of inconvenience to the grieving family. Steve, Hannah and the rest of the office personnel all played a huge part to ensure that this process went smoothly. In time of need, please give FairHaven a call and see what they can do for you.
