We joined the Cremation Society a few years ago. When my husband died, I contacted them right away. They were very helpful, courteous, considerate, and compassionate. We held a military service in the chapel. My husband was a World War II veteran and the most patriotic person I have ever known, so that was important to us. The SouthCare staff did a great job of assisting me with getting everything organized. They made arrangements for the special military honors and all went as planned. It was organized well and was a very beautiful service. I feel good about being a member of the society, too.

"It was my sister's express wish to be cremated, and SouthCare was recommended to me by some friends. The staff there was extremely pleasant to deal with and took care of everything. When my sister's best friend, who lives in the mountains of Arkansas, asked that some of the ashes be sent to her, I thought that was somewhat unique. Glenn was most agreeable and was able to take care of that for me. I know my sister would have liked that because she wanted her ashes to be scattered in the ocean or the mountains. They did such an impressive job that my mother joined the SouthCare Cremation Society, which made her passing as pain-free as something like that can possibly be. Many of the things I would otherwise have had to do were taken care of; nothing was left undone. I was quite appreciative of that. It seemed to me they went more than the extra mile."

"My wife's passing was very difficult, but the people at SouthCare made it as easy as they could. Right from the beginning, there was never any pressure or a sales approach. To me, that was very important. They only wanted to know what I needed and how to help. On the day of the event, they took care of everything, every aspect and every detail. I never had to get involved in the little things. They were very kind to everyone in my family. They were very professional and never pushed, but they made a difficult event a little easier."

"My mother-in-law died in 2002 and SouthCare was her funeral home of choice. They were very compassionate and very caring. So when my husband died suddenly, I called them immediately because I knew they would be as caring for me, too. They are like family; they make the bereaved feel very comfortable and they guided us the whole way. I never felt rushed. The service was beautiful, and they helped us create a DVD that was more than I could ever have imagined. They took the time to know us. Leslianne was wonderful and has called to follow up and see how I am doing. If I had to have the experience of facing death when I was not expecting it, it could not have been a better one."

My brother had always wanted to donate his body to a medical college, but because he had cancer, they were not able to accept it. We learned about SouthCare through the hospice service. They were very professional and pleasant. As soon as they arrived they took care of everything and it was handled very well. Since my brother’s body could not be donated, we chose cremation, and we all felt satisfied with the choice. The process was very smooth and I would go to SouthCare again.

Other people had spoken well of SouthCare, and I was very impressed when I went to talk with them. The people were so very caring. I lost my husband in January and then my mother in March, and after my husband, I had no question about returning to SouthCare again. They were very kind, never pushy, just helpful. They told me what was available and let me choose. Since then I have seen the funeral director several times—my grandchild and his daughter play in the same soccer league—and he is always friendly and asks how we are doing.
