What families have said
Recent reviews from families who used Taylor-Tyson Funeral Service. Reviews are sourced from Google Places and shown verbatim — we do not edit or filter for sentiment.
“Jody Tyson is the most insensitive, condescending, chauvinistic man I've ever met. In the middle of my great-aunt's funeral, he told me "you NEED to take your children out of here." When I told him they had been quiet for a few minutes, he said "if necessary I will have you removed." My aunt cherished my kids at every family event and I believe is honored they are here to celebrate her life. I can't believe the audacity this man had. He wanted to argue with me and wouldn't let me finish a sentence. But it was all about him and how he thought my family should act. Also, upon arriving, there was no effort made to direct us to the chapel which was then offered to us when my "kids were disruptive." I don't believe a few kid noises were enough for such rudeness on Mr. Tyson's behalf. Edited to add: If this funeral home really strives for such services, they would have staff available to families when they arrive, instead of an afterthought. There was no where near enough staff present when we arrived, and sat on the back row.”
“Taylor -Tyson were so amazing with our loved one. They were understanding and went above and beyond. Highly recommend if ever needed Betty Mailing Shingleton family”
“My family and I had an amazing experience at Taylor-Tyson. Everyone was kind, accommodating, and compassionate. The facility is very nice and inviting. Thank you for making such a sad and challenging time easier. I highly recommend this company.”

“The entire family thanks you for being extremely accommodating for our changing needs, which shows the depth of compassion you have for others. You have truly found your calling in life, and we will be forever grateful for your kindness.”
