“A Heartfelt Thank You to Gus Thornhill Funeral Home

On behalf of the Ellington and Batten family, we extend our deepest gratitude to the entire staff at Gus Thornhill Funeral Home for the exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism shown during one of the most difficult times in our lives.

From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed with kindness, respect, and genuine concern. Every member of the staff made us feel like family. They cared for our beloved mother as if she were their own relative, and that meant more to us than words can express.

A special thank you to Mr. Elery Freeman, whose professionalism and attention to detail ensured that our mother's homegoing celebration flowed effortlessly from beginning to end. His calm and caring guidance gave our family great comfort.

Ms. Farren Howard performed an incredible work of art in preparing our mother. She looked beautiful, peaceful, and dignified. Her talent and dedication gave us a lasting memory that we will cherish forever.

Ms. CK was phenomenal in keeping our family informed every step of the way. Her communication, patience, and kindness helped ease so much of the stress during this emotional process.

We also appreciated that we were never rushed while making important decisions. The staff patiently walked us through the funeral service packages, allowing us the time we needed to honor our mother's wishes. The showroom offered a beautiful selection of caskets, giving us meaningful choices without pressure.

What impressed us most was that our mother's homegoing service was truly about celebrating her life—not about the funeral home. Every detail reflected the love, dignity, and respect she deserved.

We wholeheartedly recommend Gus Thornhill Funeral Home to anyone seeking compassionate, professional, and memorable funeral services for their loved one. Their commitment to excellence and genuine care is second to none.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Phillip Ellington and the Batten Family“

“The team of caring professionals at The Cremation Society of Georgia was (and continue to be) super helpful in the days following our lost loved one.

Veronica and Theresa reach out to make sure all our needs are met, that we have all the info we need, and expedite obits and other necessities.

On top of this vital support, the cost is reasonable.

They were gracious, kind and treated me like family every single time I interacted with them. They are truly caring people who are there for you when you need it the most.“

“I have had 2 occasions in the past 5 years to use Thomas L. Scroggs Funeral Directors. They make a stressful time much more comfortable. They have a facility that is welcoming and provides space for family and friends. A chapel is there to offer a location for a service. All the staff members I've met are professional and friendly. The business has a long history of serving the community. I highly recommend using their service.“

“I recently attended the Homegoing of a dear loved one. The family chose Herschel Thornton Mortuary for services. The funeral home is located on Martin Luther King Drive less than a mile from the MLK exit on I-285. There is an ample parking lot to accommodate guests.

As you enter the lobby, there are two restrooms that are easily accessible. There are also comfortable sofas and chairs for seating just outside one of the main on-site chapels. The chapel itself is modern, spacious, and offers plenty of seating for guests.

The funeral attendants were accommodating, respectful, and never pushy. Their calm, laid-back approach made a difficult day a little easier for our family.

They did a beautiful job preparing my loved one. They looked peaceful and were treated with such care and dignity. Thank you for your kindness and professionalism.

Please consider this establishment in fhe future.“

“Rossi handled everything from beginning to end. Thankful that she made this process smooth for me so I could grieve and handle other things. Thanks Rossi!!!“

“Young funeral Home did an amazing job with helping me process the passing of my Dad. I will never forget the compassion and quality you showed me and my family.“

“This funeral home is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Wimby, their daughter, and extended and family members. I met Marcus in high school 50 years ago, and had no idea that he became a mortician until approximately 11 years ago, when I needed to get something notarized. Since I was close to the Fourth Ward Area, I knew that I could find a notary at a funeral home. I chose to go to Haugabrooks Funeral Home, where Iwas warmly greeted by the Wimbys' daughter,who told me that she would get her dad to help me. Much to my surprise, my classmate, Marcus, was who she got. Based on the standards of, high scholastic achievement, combined with a work ethic. that presented us with the necessary tools to succeed in any professional capacity we chose, while we attended high school together, combined with th Wimbys' humble demeanor, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of their services. When my parents married in 1949, they soon established a business relationship with Hines Homes of Funeral, which was originally located at Piedmont Avenue and Pine Streets. Thiis the funeral home our family has used, then and still does, for our immediate needs. We now have an additional company we can use,that is my only child, and I can rely on: That is, Haugabrooks Funeral Home. (I have already written my Yelp review for Hines Homes of Funerals). My son will be instructed again, to follow his "Mom's Request", and utilize both Hines Home of Funerals and Haugabrooks Funeral Home.“
