Through the tragedy of death came life for Shonda Simmons-Jenkins, who is now the CEO of Grace Funeral Services, LLC. We are dedicated to making sure that the lives of those departed are celebrated in a way that is meaningful to those left behind. Our goal is to provide an overall exemplary experience.
Although knowing that we must pass from our mortal bodies to eternal life, sometimes it's not the easiest thing to do and often times the families are unprepared in more ways than one. We know how we entered this world but we will never know how one might exit this life. The one thing that keeps us in suspense is "DEATH"!

Services
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.
Funerals fill an important role for those mourning the loss of a loved one. By providing surviving family and friends with an atmosphere of care and support in which to share thoughts and feelings about death, funerals are the first step in the healing process. It is the traditional way to recognize the finality of death.

We were lucky to have found Grace Funeral home ... Shonda has a gift and it shows through her work .. My mom was bedridden for a year but Grace funeral was able to recapture her natural beauty to give us a positive view to remember for the rest of our lives ... I should also note her practice is reasonably priced . She loves what she does without seeing this as an opportunity to over charge. I was so impressed with everything. May God bless her and continue to give her blessings . Sincerely Selwyn

Ms. Shonda Simmons-Jenkins is the BEST Licensed Funeral Director/Embalmer that I know. She is a GREAT teacher and a GREAT role model for not only WOMEN but leaders and people who aspire to be Licensed Funeral directors/embalmers like myself.

Blessings to this establishment, I wish Grace Funeral Services nothing but WEALTH and PROSPERITY.

Mrs. Jenkins and her staff are awesome at Grace Funeral Services. She made sure my family was taken care of during our hour of bereavement. I would recommend her services to everyone. If you want personal service and someone who truly cares about your needs, go see the great staff at Grace Funeral Services in Holly Hill.
