Tara is the very best. I have never known anyone to take care of families like she does. Whitehurst Powell is lucky to have her.
Tara - We want to commend you and your staff for an outstanding job in caring for our mother’s, Annelle Whitehurst, final arrangements. With professionalism and compassion, you thought of everything! You led us to make the perfect decisions. The personal touches that you added at the funeral home and to the service were comforting for all of us. Mother looked beautiful, and she was surrounded by memories that kept us smiling. Thank you so, so much for everything! 💗💗Angela and Ann, and all of the Whitehurst clan!
I would like to take a moment to thank Andy and the whole Whitehurst team. Losing my grandfather is one of the hardest things I have gone through. Andy and his team, found a way to make it a happy occasion instead of one of the saddest days of my life. The generosity that he showed to my family made our family even stronger. I have never seen anyone go so far above and beyond their duties of their career. I know that his family has made a lot of sacrifices through the years and I want them to know he truly makes his clients feel like they are part of his family. Thank you for sharing him with the people of Okaloosa County. Thank you again Andy for all the things you do for all of us.
