Romaine and his ENTIRE staff at R.S. Gibbs went above and beyond for my husbands Janazah Service! Its hard enough to handle business when a loved one passes, but when that transition is sudden, accidental & totally unexpected, smh my God! The patience, the compassion, the thorough communication and the accommodating nature that was provided made accomplishing this seemingly impossible task all the more feasible. They treated us like family, and I am eternally grateful!

There are not enough words to describe the gentle, kind caring consideration extended to my family and myself as we laid my grandmother to rest.
Romaine Gibbs, Maxine Beautiful-Rochelle Grant, TJ Hightower
and
the rest of the Gibbs team were professional, empathetic, very flexible to our needs as a family and most importantly highly skilled at every single service they provided for my grandmothers final services and to my family. They were always readily available and returned calls quickly. We were provided many options and price points. Their attention to every little detail was spectacular
