My grandfather passed away in 2017 and to this day, our experience sticks out to me. Mr. John Harris was the funeral director handling arrangements for my grandpa and because of him, how he treated my family, and the experience as a whole, he inspired me to want to become a funeral director as well. I cannot say thank you enough.

My Mother unexpectedly passed and the original plan was to go to Griffin & Leggett as that is where several of our family have been previously buried. Unfortunately things had clearly changed since our last family member passed and was buried there. Now they clearly are all about the money. The entire time spent there was a waste of time as the amounts for every little touch were incredibly expensive, the atmosphere was without empathy, and the people involved made you go through their entire presentation regardless of the price range we explained was needed. We decided to go elsewhere and then

I am very unsatisfied with the quality of service! At my long time boyfriends services the slide show repeated multiple photos, the collage border covered my boyfriends face, they refused to fix the issues when i brought it to thier attention. The funeral director was extremely rude to me regarding my complaints... Burying the love of my life after 14 yrs together was devastating and these people made it even worse.

I will never be able to voice how professional and kind they are at Moores. I will never be able to say thank you enough for their kindness and understanding. My family have used them for two generations and we will continue to do so.
