At such a hard time in your life, you will be glad you chose these fine folks. They go above and beyond the call of service!! Sincerely, The family of Virginia Work.”
“We used Dyersburg Funeral Home recently for my mothers funeral, we were from out of town and Danny Cook and the staff at Dyersburg Funeral where very helpful during an emotional time. Planning from out of town and other issues that arose due to a ice storm that caused plans to have to change but the staff kept us updated and worked with us to make it a special time for our family and my mother's service. The staff was very professional and caring at the same time.”
“The funeral director was great. We used Dyersburg Funeral Home when my dad passed. Aug 18. Mom passed in July 20. We were so very pleased with everything. From the time we walked in the door, they were there. We always had someone to call anytime, if we needed anything. I would highly recommend Dyersburg Funeral Home. They were so professional, kind and caring to our family. Thank you for taking great care of my mom and dad.”
“Dyersburg Funeral Home has handled 5 of my family’s funerals in the last 40 years. The process was seamless, with every question being answered. The staff is very caring and professional. During a very sad time, they made everything much easier.”
“The funeral director was cold, stand offish and unapproachable. When I approached him after the graveside ceremony he acted as if he were a movie star and I annoyingly paparazzi. It was the oddest experience considering the circumstances. Not sure if he was having a bad day because it was the opposite when my dad passed. He was very helpful then. Up until this point my family had always used Dyersburg instead of Curry’s but that behavior is unacceptable to grieving family.”
