“I highly recommend Bellamy Funeral Home for their great service! Heather was very pleasant, patient, and efficient in responding to my concerns. She remained calm and focused during challenging times with family members. She and Jay provided the information we needed, and helped us to successfully plan a lovely funeral for my mother. Thank you!”
“I can't thank Bellamy Funeral Homes enough for their exceptional service in August 2023. We were able to plan everything with ease in a matter of a couple of days. Their team is comprised of the best professionals in their area. The funeral home is renovated and we were able to use all of their provided services. We were a big group and they definitely went above and beyond for us.”
“We went to another funeral home before we went to Bellamy just to price check, then after meeting with Mrs. Palmer in person we knew this was the location and the people we needed to help us to have the service for our loved one. They helped us with every detail, moving the body across state lines, and the countless phone calls and was always so nice. Thank you so much for being so caring. God bless you all.”
“The most devastating incident took my little girl from me. Bellamy Funeral Home showed so much kindness & understanding. They gave my baby the most beautiful viewing, & spoke to everyone's heart during her memorial. They not only showed me respect, but all my friends & family. Even after the memorial the Bellamy staff called me. There wasn't an issue they couldn't handle with compassion & grace. If you find yourself living your worse nightmare, Bellamy Funeral Home staff will get you through it!”
“I just lost my husband in a motorcycle accident this month. My heart and soul has been completely broken since then. I was completely lost and was told to contact a funeral home. I ended up reaching out to Bellamy and I’m so glad I did. They are the most caring people I’ve meet. They are the type of people you want to be there to help guide you through this heartbreaking time. I was able to see my husband’s body one last time and they even gave me privacy to say my goodbyes. I truly felt like they cared and had empathy for our situation and i felt like I could trust that they took care of my husband for me. Thank you Bellamy, Terra McGinity”
