It highlights our loved ones' sacrifices, reminds us of the things that they value, and inspires us with their life stories.

Brent did an awesome job with my moms funeral and burial. He and his family have been in business for over 41 years. My mom passed away in 2020 and may dad in 1997. Both services were very professional and they are very helpful and caring.

Brent and his staff made the service flawless and stress free. We were under our own personal stress and pain and he was there to make sure it was as easy and beautiful as it could be. Thank you to all at Dotson Funeral Home.

We have had to use Dotson Funeral Home twice now. We used them for the services for both my husband’s mother and his father. Brent and his staff have been amazing both times. He has gone above and beyond what was asked of him, and we couldn’t have done this without him. His entire staff was amazing and showed so much compassion to our family during the receiving of friends. One of his staff members even offered his jacket to a family member. It doesn’t get better than that! Thanks Brent and staff.

Brent was amazing as we have never had to deal with the loss of a child. He was very accommodating considering the covid-19 pandemic. Could not have use a better place for our son 100% recommended

Our family had a great experience with Dotson Funeral Home. Brent Dotson was kind and professional and our wishes were his priority. No hard sell here, just a desire to meet our needs and wishes. Definitely a personal touch rather than a corporate/impersonal one. Also, the prices were so reasonable. Great experience.

Losing someone we love is so very hard. I can’t put into words how much easier Brent made dealing with arrangements for my uncle for us. He sat with me, my aunt, and my little cousin and walked us through making the best choices for us with so much patience and kindness. He showed us all the different options available, answered our endless questions, and we left feeling like we couldn’t have left my uncle in better hands. It’s obvious he takes great pride in what he does. My family highly recommends Dotson Funeral Hime.

They did such a great job helping my family have a proper ceremony for my mother! As you could imagine, the death came very suddenly and left us without the means to pay for it. We created a GoFund me at the suggestion of the funeral director, Brent, and were able to pay for the entire ceremony and cremation! They had a great selection of memorabilia items after the cremation and excellent quality urns! I was very impressed with the display caskets available for viewing & the information we received about pre-planning. Nothing is better than that moment when you breathe knowing you can prevent

Brent's commitment to my family and the care of my father will be appreciated eternally. Dodson took care of my family at the worst days of our life with respect and care. Brent was not there to sell service but to serve, and went above and beyond. Great job
