I am a funeral home owner and funeral director in Michigan. I needed help with an out of state death in Dothan, Alabama. Jason Shepard was great to deal with and his embalming was very satisfactory. Also, people in Dothan need to be aware that Family First’s fees were very affordable compared to Ward-Wilson which were ridiculous. Thank you Family First Funeral Care and Jason Shepard from J. Gilbert Purse Funeral Home, Tecumseh & Adrian, Michigan.

Family First was there for my family during the unexpected death of my mother. Jason and his team (Jason, wife, kim, cole, hunter, and others) went above and beyond throughout the entire process. The services family first provided were extremely professional with a very affordable price compared to others. Jason and his team were never pushy, provided consistent communication and provided compassion during the time of need. If you're in need of services please don't hesitate to contact Family First.

Family First was such a saving grace to our family. With the unexpected death of my sister Randy helped us through our tragedy and went well beyond expectations. Family First was not only sensitive to our needs but was extremely patient with us during the process, giving us plenty of time to say our final goodbyes. I just want to say that if your searching for the best funeral home Family First is the place to go. They will help your family through the process and not push or rush you with decisions. Our family is completely satisfied and extremely grateful.
