We entrusted our loved one with Smith&Thomas funeral home. Everyone was so nice from the lady Eunice, to the guy Joe that collects the money. I was thinking to myself that these people are laying it on thick with the acts of kindness. I know that this is a business and everyone has been trained to show the bereaving family compassion and empathy. I get it. But something happened that caught me completely off gaurd.... Me and one of my relatives were talking about ghost peppers and all the dishes that we cook with them and also how hard they are to find. The owner Eric Smith overheard us and when

Cathy and Ilene are some of the nicest people. Very professional, and caring during difficult time of losing a love one. Staff is on point. My grandmother was funeralize at Johnson, a few days ago. My grandmother was the oldest client they ever service 105 and a half. She looked 20 years younger in her casket. They did beautiful work to my grandmother, very pleased. Cathy knew I had a special bond with my grandmother. She asked me did I want to spend the nigh! Lol no those day are over Lol.

You all went above and beyond for my family and I. I have nothing but great remarks for you. My sister Shinnel looked absolutely beautiful. I am so happy that my brother Robert chose you all. The staff was very considerate of our needs and helped us to achieve everything that we wanted for my sister. Thank you so much.

There is no question about these loving people. They in fact love their job!!! Although death is rough they made it easier every step of the way. The staff was professional, empathetic, patient, loving, the energy was calm. They addressed us by using “family” which just that word alone my family found comfort. Although my precious daughter was… gone, I her mother, her brothers, her uncle, and her grandpa weren’t separated by death but a reminder we are family and will remain. I can say they helped our family through such a difficult processes. Our sincerest Thank you.
