“Today we had funeral services for my father. Our family worked with Rick Elliott who was nothing short of amazing. He and everyone we worked with from Adamson were nothing short of wonderful. Rick was kind, empathetic, respectful, and helpful in every way at a time that we needed it the most. He went above and beyond to honor our father and take care of every little detail. Rick was everything we needed him to be, when we needed it the most. Thank you to Rick and Adamson for taking care of our family.”
“They did my parents viewing and cremation services, a year and a half apart and I couldn't be happier with their services. They were compassionate and went through everything with me to find the best products and solutions to what we could afford. Thanks to their caring staff everything turned out just right.”
“Adamson’s and all of their employees were so helpful and supportive of all our needs helped us through every step. We were so grateful for all the music and video pictures set for our family. We highly recommend Adamson’s Life Celebration Home.”
“Rick did an excellent job with my mom’s funeral! My sister and I and the rest of the family were very pleased with what Rick and the rest of the staff did for our family! We got a lot of compliments. Rick went above and beyond by adding the special touches of putting the Dallas Cowboy items out and about, since my mom was a huge Cowboys fan. Thank you all so much!! You guys made a tough day a little bit easier and special!!”
“I cant express my gratitude enough for Rick Elliott the funeral director I worked with. We had to do everything over the phone as my dad passed in another state. He was kind, helpful, sympathetic, and genuine. I never felt this was just his job and I was just another client. So much so that when I finally got to meet him face to face I wrapped my arms around him and cried. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for my dad. It was. It was so much more than I could've imagined. I am eternally grateful for Rick Elliott and the Adamson Funeral Home.”
