Testimonials

  • My parents decided some years ago to have Carson Funeral Homes pre-arrange their funeral plans to make it easier on the family when the time came. Over the years they changed their minds on what they wanted and contacted Jon Griffiths to see if the changes could be made. Jon assisted and made their requests simple and straight forward. All of the changes where made with no problems at all. My Mother passed in 2020 and again, Carson Funeral HOmes were there when we needed them. They set up the celebration of life and made arrangements for everything, including a video feed for those that could not attend. All during the Covid lockdown. One year later, my father passed and I relied on them again to assist the family. I made one call to Jon on a Sunday and he immediately arranged everything. I cant say enough good things about Carson Funeral Homes and all the staff that helped us through some very difficult times. I would recommend their services to anyone.

  • When I decided that I was going to make my prearrangements, I chose Carson Funeral Home because they were family owned. That still means something to me. I am glad I did. Dave Carson took the time to listen to my wishes, explain the process and my options. He did this without any pressure, making sure I was comfortable with my decisions. I would highly recommend Carson Funeral Homes.

  • We recently entrusted Carson Funeral Homes with the loss of our elderly parents. Funeral Director John Griffiths & Funeral Director Assistant Sue Morris we’re both so professional, caring and accommodating ….walking us effortlessly through the funeral/burial process. They kindly gave us “free rein” to personalize the visitation and service which created an atmosphere tailored to the well-lived lives of each of our parents. Kudos to the entire Carson staff. You were all such a pleasure to deal with at such a difficult time. May your tradition of trust and care continue.

  • My husband and I lost 3 elderly parents in the span of 5 years. While the passing of each of our loved ones was slightly different, everyone at Carson’s provided us consistent professionalism and compassion. From the initial phone call to the aftercare meeting, they listened to our needs and wants while at the same time suggesting ideas that we had not even considered. That all being said, their biggest strength is their ability to provide all the above, while at the same time making us feel that we were a part of their family.
