I won't post all the details regarding why our family had a less than satisfactory experience with Sumner Voiles. If I had the opportunity to choose who would deal with my families remains again. I would choose differently. I felt they sincerely didn't care. Every single person I have told about my dealings with Sumner Voiles has been shocked and saddened for our family.

We recently found it necessary to search for a mortuary and, after a bit of research, we selected Sumner Voiles. If you find yourself in need, we highly recommend Sumner Voiles. Every encounter was pleasant and easy. We cannot thank them enough for helping us at a very difficult time.

My brother died suddenly this year and I was nervous about who would expedite the services my family needed for his cremation. Right away, the folks at Sumner were courteous, professional and eager to help (and readily available on a late, Saturday afternoon). They took care of my brother's body at the hospital and handled his cremation in such a timely manner, that I had no worries. I was able to deal with my families grieving and the memorial service and nothing else. What a load of anxiety they took of my shoulders. Thank you to Stephanie and Elizabeth for your gentleness and professionalism
