Ms. Pridgen was amazing. She literally held my hand throughout the whole process. Her staff was extremely caring and professional. I couldnt ask for a better funeral home, a better group of individuals to take care of my mom. They will definitely be my first call if the need ever arise.

The one thing you don't want to do is plan a funeral for your loved one, but when you do, contact Pridgen Funeral Home, P.A. When my husband passed away, I contact Ms. Tuawana Pridgen right after midnight July 19, 2020. To my surprise, she answered the phone right away. Her team came to receive my husband and they treated him with care. They also were very respectful to me and my girls. This was in the height of Covid so we had to have the service at the funeral home. Ms. Pridgen worked with me to establish a beautiful tribute video (which I'm still watching), and program to honor my husband. She

With the sudden loss of my husband no words can express the way I am feeling. In that time of confusion, disbelief, and mourning Pridgen Funeral Home, P.A. gave us the assurance and personal support our family needed in this tragic time. The employees, communication, customer service is more than professional. They gave me a sigh of relief knowing that my husband was properly taken care of with respect and dignity. Thank You
Tuawana Pridgen and Staff.

The whole process of a funeral and burial is very sensitive. I have used Pruden funeral home for several family and friends. In addition to her professionalism Ms Pridgens knowledge and compassion made all the difference.So, Tawwana I hope you are reading this. From myself and my family thankyou very much for everything.

Professional and was treated more like family than a client. The patience and guidance during a difficult time was done with ease. My mom was laid to rest like the queen she was and every care was listened to and fulfilled.
