“Linville Funeral Home has provided services for several of my family members over the years. And they have been great to me and my family. They treat you like family. A couple of weeks ago my father in law passed and my mother in law took it very hard. The staff was patient with her and had to explain things over and over to her. They not once got agitated with her. Visitation was on a Thursday night and the service was Friday morning graveside. They were so concentrate they made arrangements for my mother in law to see her husband one last time the morning of the graveside services. I would recommend using their services.”
“Linville Memorial Funeral Home Thank You so much for all your help at a time of where help is needed. The service that you provided was exceptional. Thank You again from my family to yours God Bless.”
“Brad and his staff were very professional but at the same time they were very personal. Leo was very helpful guiding us through the arrangements and explaining everything to us. The whole staff was very compassionate towards me and my family and they made us very comfortable during this difficult time. I am grateful for everything they did for my family and for my father regarding his funeral. One thing I’ll always remember is how Ms. Madonna allowed me to bring pictures for a slideshow of dad at 9pm the night before dad’s funeral and she was able to get everything done in time. She didn’t have to do that but I feel like that’s the kind of people they are and I am very thankful for the staff going above and beyond in my family’s time of need. I highly recommend Brad and his family in your family’s time of need.”
