Chestnut Funeral Home did an amazing job at giving my late sister, Onya Joseph's, a beautiful and dignified service for her final send off. They were professional and kind. The staff presented this beautifully made blanket with her image to her family and recited a lovely poem at the graveside. From our family to yours, Thank you🙏

After reading the review from Ms. Alice C., we thought it prudent to reply to her review of October 25, 2015.

Choosing a funeral home to collect her body, embalm her, and hold her until we came back was very important to us. We researched and contacted Chestnut, Forest Meadows, and William Thomas. We visited all three, to compare services and prices. Chestnut, mostly on the strength of their history, was the first
