We selected Tillman for our fathers home going service and we couldnt have been happier with our selection. The staff were very professional and understanding and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing service for my dad. From the point that they came to his home when he passed to the point when we had his service, everything was top class. We didnt know what to expect with having a funeral during the pandemic and especially with him passing suddenly. Ashlyn an the entire Tillman staff showed up for us. I would recommend Tillman 100 times. They made it easy and made themselves

Report
My uncles urn wasnt at the service , the flowers werent there , his back drop with his picture wasnt there . And I had also purchased lockets and mini urns for the family they were still at the crematory. Lack of communication and unprofessional. I wouldnt recommend this mortuary I think we need to be reimbursed.
