“Mike and staff did an excellent job with all the preparations for our father's service.”
“My mother passed away over two years ago and still her tombstone has not been engraved with the date she died. Have spoken to and emailed Michael Erwin at the funeral home several times about this and he just keeps blowing me off and making excuse after excuse. I will not be doing business with this funeral home again. Poor customer service.”
“During one of the most difficult times in my life, Roberson's Funeral Home was outstanding every step of the funeral arrangement process for my father. The staff was great, Matthew was above just your normal employee. Matthew was always just a phone call away even with the simplest questions we had.”
“They done a great job on my husband grandmother the staff was great and everything went perfect..”
“So helpful and understanding. They went above and beyond to help answer all my question and concerns.”
