We always get the greatest service from their staff. Sadly we have had to use their services many times for funerals and always always always we receive the higher quality of care. This 5 star review is a No-brainer

I can't even begin to say how difficult it was to have a funeral service for my younger brother. It was especially challenging due to covid-19 and social distancing. My brother's service was the fifth one that we have had at Holloway for my family members. We were always treated with the utmost respect and dignity. I am very grateful to all of them.

Orders urns and they gave them to someone else. Then when we asked about it they said the handed out the urns so they can't even refund the money. So now we dont even have our loved ones ashes we also are out the money we paid for them. Talk about making a difficult time way worse.

The staff at Holloway was incredible! The way they handled my father's funeral was beyond amazing. The way they presented my father was absolutely amazing. We dealt with David Meyer and he was completely professional and sympathetic. Our family is forever grateful for the Holloway Funeral Home for making this terrible time allot easier.

I'm the Video/Sound booth guy at Oldsmar Baptist. On April 11th all your staff did a wonderful job for the Burgee family. I had water for the family at the booth. But I was busy with music and the streaming of the service. Sorry I can't recall her name now, but she was very helpful rotating water bottles into the small cooler. She even took the trash out in the mens bathroom. I know Art Holloway, I'll pass it on that that he can enjoy his retirement, you have it covered. Art @oldsmarlive

I can't say enough good things about Scott and all of the staff at Holloway! They really took care of my mom and I when my stepfather passed at the end of July. They helped simplify an otherwise tedious process during a tough time in our lives. I highly recommend their services!! Thank you all again!
