“Suburb service! Great communication. The employees at Grace were so very compassionate and supportive to the needs of my family during our grieving process!”
“My father recently passed and we chose Grace to help us with his arrangements. I'm so glad we did! Van and her family were so understanding and accommodating to our needs, they really treated us like family too. The service was intimate and lovely, just what my dad would have liked. I can't recommend them more and appreciate them more than I can say.”
“Grace FCS, Inc was recommended to me by a close family member and what I thought would be an experience of going through the motions of burying a loved one turned out to be one much more meaningful than that. The owner is unbelievably wonderful at what she does. She practices true service and respect for both the family and the bereaved and I'm so very thankful for that, because my family and I needed someone who understood what we were going through, not just someone who could get our loved one to rest (though they did so beautifully). Bottom line, the service was professional, yet caring and we are very thankful to Ms. Vann and the staff who supported us through our time of need.”
“Vangie and her staff were a God sent in my family's time of need. She provided outstanding service and professionalism while exemplifying caring and courtesy at the same time. I highly recommend Grace Funeral &Cremation Services to any and everyone who wants to send their love one off with the care, dignity and respect they deserve.”
“Ms. Scott assistance in preparing my mother's home going service was so wonderful. She walked me and my family all the way through from the beginning to the end. She was there to help us with those hard decisions through this tough time. Ms. Scott was do kind, helpful, and full of knowledge. From the bottom of our hearts we are thankful to Grace Funeral & Cremation”
