The cost was less than expected and options were on display for the asking but there was no attempt to upsell. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. I would highly recommend.“

“Handled my daughters’ headstone for her resting place, and the headstone is AMAZING. It looks very beautiful and I am very satisfied.“

“We are deeply grateful for the exceptional service Shives Funeral Home provided and will always remember the love and respect they showed our father and our family.

Our family chose Shives Funeral Home because we wanted a funeral home we could trust to honor our father's life with dignity, compassion, and respect. As a proud U.S. Army veteran, it was especially important to us that his military honors were handled with the utmost care and professionalism.

Funeral Director, Grace Phillips' compassion, patience, and attention to every detail brought comfort to our family during one of the most difficult times of our lives. She went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our father's Celebration of Life reflected who he was, allowing us to focus on honoring his memory rather than worrying about the details.

We wholeheartedly recommend Shives Funeral Home to anyone seeking first-class care during life's most difficult moments.“

“What can you say about one of the best to ever do it?

Our family has been trusting Leevy's Funeral Home for as long as I can remember even as a little boy. They have cared for generations of my family on both sides, the Wilsons and the Stearns, and every experience has reflected the same unwavering standard of excellence.

Their professionalism, compassion, attention to detail, and commitment to honoring every family they serve is truly unmatched. But beyond everything they do, it's the genuine love and care they show that makes the greatest difference.

Most recently, they cared for both of my grandparents on my father's side, just one year apart. Even during one of the most difficult seasons our family has ever faced, nothing changed. Every detail was handled with dignity, excellence, and heartfelt compassion, just as I have experienced my entire life.

To the entire Leevy's family and staff, thank you for serving our community with such consistency, integrity, and love. What you do is more than a profession it's a ministry. Thank you for walking with families through some of life's hardest moments and doing it with grace, honor, and excellence. It has never gone unnoticed, and our family will always be grateful.“

“I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't give much thought or attention to our family plot for a long time. I avoided thinking about my own final arrangements for as long as I could, likely longer than I should have. So now I'm trying to catch up with decisions I should have made years ago. Susie at Elmwood has been so friendly and helpful that it's actually pleasant to discuss my plans with her. The Dignity payment plans are very reasonable and payments are easy with their user friendly website. My 10 family markers had become so stained that it was difficult to read them, but Elmwood's cleaning service restored all of them to a like-new appearance. I'm very thankful that, almost 100 years ago my great-grandparents wisely invested in a family plot that has now served five generations.“
