Services
Originally founded by Mr. Robert Bostick and Mr. Willie A. Tompkins, Bostick-Tompkins was founded on core principles of professionalism, compassion, integrity, and personalized funeral service. In 1988, the partnership of Mr. Bostick and Mr. Tompkins proved to be a great success and eventually grew from an upstart company into an industry leader and premier funeral home in the Columbia area and the Southeast.
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.

We buried our beloved aunt today, the staff was so loud and we could hear them laughing the entire time in the hallway while we attempted to have service. I had to get out of my seat during the service and ask them to be quiet. They did, for about 20 minutes and then the noise started again. My family used this funeral home for my dad and a few other family members, today will be the last time.

They put the Ghe in GHETTO. If you want no welcome from the front desk come here. If you want the loud sound of staff laughing outside of the door during a service come here. If you want staff opening the door as if they are impatient come here. No one should have to ask staff to quiet down. Its disrespectful and unprofessional.

This funeral home is TERRIBLE! They recently handled my step mom’s funeral. First off, the day of the wake, we were told for the family to be there from 12-2.... we didn’t get in the room with the body until 1 because they were still doing her hair 😑. The day of the funeral, we went to the burial site and the hole was not dug up! We were told go have our repass and return at 5pm for the burial. It was currently 2pm. My step mother’s obituary was also not published on their website. Never send your loved ones to this place! They are unorganized and they drop the ball way too many times

Bostick-Tompkins Funeral Home did a 5-star job helping me bury my father. I told them I was hard to please and everyone ensured me that everything would be perfect. It was beyond my expectations! I am forever grateful for their services and kindness they showed during one of the most horrific times of my life. Thank you!

Do not send your loved ones to Bostick and Tompkins.. We decided to have my mother cremated with a viewing .. the only thing they told us about the viewing is it will be from 12-2... I walked into the viewing only to find my mother in a storage closet, on top of something that looks like a box with a sheet across her... The closet had dirty walls, with a mop and broom in the corner, and it was dark... They tried to say they told us that's what a viewing is... They never told us that... Who would agree to having your mom in a closet on a box or table? No one! Just because we chose to cremate my

I would like to commend the entire staff on their professionalism, care and love shown to families in their time of need. Basically for the last 2 weeks I have been here with family and friends. For 2 of the services I did the details and arrangements. Anything I needed or asked for they provided me with. They went above and beyond to make sure all needs were met! I just can't thank you enough. It was not just one person, but everyone who assisted me in some manner that we are truly grateful for. God bless you all!
