House of Scott has prepared my Grandmother, Father, and Sister. They have always given my family the utmost respect in dealing with these difficult times. I highly recommend them if you have lost a loved one. Ms. Kitty is one of the most compassionate people I have met. House of Scott is a family owned business which is something that is important to me. Again, if you have lost a loved one and are looking for respect and compassion this is the funeral home to use.

I can't thank Scott Funeral Home enough for their grace and patience during a very trying time. My grandmother passed right at the beginning of quarantine, making it hard to take care of things as needed, especially with family in another country. Through the whole process they never missed a beat and were always understanding and helpful. Kindest and most caring people I've ever had the pleasure to interact with. Thank you so much for everything.

We couldn't have found a better place to help lay our Queen to rest, they were thorough, compassionate, accommodating, and most of all professional. I would highly recommend this black owned business to any and everyone looking to lay their loved one to rest.
