The owner I’m assuming was very thoughtful, guided us through the process and was helpful with all the arrangements. I would definitely recommend their services in the most unfortunate circumstance we all have to face with our loved ones. Thanks for all your help and for what you do for the passing of our loved ones. God bless you.

As a pastor I deal with many funeral homes in the area. There is no better company to work with than Meredith Funeral Home. I wish that all of my congregation had prearranged their funerals with Justin and his team. They make the process so much better for families and are very down to earth and normal folks.

We have always dealt with Greg in the past but now that he is semi-retired we had the experience of working with Sam and Eve for the recent funeral and burial of my sister. They did an outstanding job. Everything was taken care of in a very professional manner. We never felt any sales pressure. They worked with us closely to get everything the way we wanted it to be. Eve did a terrific job of putting together my sister's obit and relevant quotations for the visitation cards. We were very pleased with the results.

My mother-in-law passed way recently. Knowing what a wonderful, caring job Meredith Funeral Home provides, we used them once again. Our family had used Meredith Funeral Home for my father, mother and father-in-law's services, we knew we could expect superior service! We were not disappointed.
My husband, sister-in-law, our families and I were very impressed with Justin Meredith's personality, care and guidance while planning the service. We can't say enough positive things about Justin! Eva, Justin's assistant, was wonderful, too. She made us feel at ease during this very

They use a very sneaky sales approach. They say oh we can do this and that for you but they don't tell you how much they charge for their services. The put up an obit for my mother on Facebook and 79% of the page is selling flowers and their stuff at inflated prices. I would not recommend them to anyone.

We had a very positive experience with Greg and Meredith overall. When we met for planning, we discussed options, but at no time did we experience any sales pressure or guilt trips. The key memory of working with Greg was the memorial service. There were so may things that screamed for my wife and my attention - food trays to set out and tables/chairs in the reception area, setting up a memorial display, folks who had driven many miles and wanted to talk.
Everything was important and we could not meet all those expectations. So when Greg walked in, he just started taking care of whatever practical
