Michelle did a great job for my mother-in-laws service, just as she did with my father-in-laws service, a few years ago. She is very knowledgeable and goes out of her way, to help with each step. We love Michelle and feel that she is part of of our family.

Report
In March, I was told my husband had maybe 2 weeks left to live. I went to Walker Chapel Funeral Home to make arrangements while I was still able to think clearly. My husband and I wanted to be cremated and no funeral service or visitation. My husband was also a veteran and wanted to be interred at the National Cemetery in Montevallo. Matthew Roper handled every thing for me and was such a comfort.
He contacted the cemetery and arranged a small ceremony before my husband's ashes were placed in his space. He did not pressure me to make any choices or decisions - and answered every questions I had
