The family at shives funeral home had been beside us like family through this process. From preplanning through the service they have been incredibly kind and caring. Never pressured us for anything, never tried to upsell. They took our wishes and brought them to life. If you are in the sad position of having to plan your loved ones funeral vuou could not do better than these people. Every single person we have come in contact with has been kind and respectful.

Kelcey and the family at Shives were so thoughtful. From the decisions on time and flowers, the beautiful tribute video, to making Daddy look so peaceful, everything was beautifully done. Everyone helped us to feel more at ease with all the decisions that needed to be handled, above and beyond the funeral itself. They provided us a wonderful way to honor Daddy.

Bobby and his staff did an amazing job helping my family and I with the passing of my Grandmother. Things move so fast when someone passes and they helped us through the process to help celebrate her life and laying her to rest. You’re never prepared for times like this and Bobby guided us with each step and was there for every call or text we sent. Thank You!

Friendly, comforting, helpful, kind, understanding. The Trenholm Rd location is absolutely gorgeous and Danny made sure everything was just right for our family.

It’s taken me a few weeks to find the right words, but I want to sincerely thank Grace, Bobby, and the entire team at Shives Funeral Home. They took exceptional care of our family during one of the most difficult times in our lives. Their compassion, attention to detail, and willingness to accommodate every need made the process of saying goodbye to my mom far less stressful. We’re deeply grateful for their support and kindness.

My family had a wonderful experience working with Shives recently with my father's passing. The level of service and attention to detail was outstanding and very much appreciated. I would recommend Shives to anyone looking in the greater Columbia area for arrangements.

First, my mother's service was absolutely beautiful. It was everything I could have hoped for, and the actual funeral home itself is a gorgeous place for your love one's final farewell.
Jake is an amazing member of their staff, and he will forever be an important part of my mother's service and burial. He is extremely personable, caring, and an all-around great young man who will do his best to help you through your time of grief, and I hope he knows how much I appreciate his guidance and support through that process.
I did have a couple of issues unrelated to the service that were mostly due to miscommunication, but let me assure you, they were handled. I won't go into the details as every similar situation in the future may not be handled the same, and I don't want to set that expectation. But, I was more than satisfied with how Bobby resolved the situation. It showed me that they truly care for the families they serve.
Kimberly is also a wonderful person to talk to, very empathetic, and she'll help with any probate questions.
I also appreciated Danny's speech during the service.
Last, but not least, I loved William so much! He is the original owner (or one of the two?) of Shives, and he was so sweet during my mom's viewing, service, and burial. A very sunny disposition, and you can tell he really enjoys helping families.
I would absolutely use Shives in the future.
