We so appreciated Roy and Tony Barber for guiding us through unchartered waters as we had never planned a funeral before. It was so well orchestrated and coordinated with all parties involved that it helped with our anxieties with a very sudden death. Even the fine details that we would have never thought about were handled with such ease. It was so reassuring that all was taken care of. Roy and Tony Barber were both so personable and caring during a difficult time.
Compassionate, caring, respectful, and extremely professional. Couldn't ask for anything more at this difficult time in your life.
WE WERE VERY BLESSED to find Roy W. Barber Funeral Home. After a disastrous experience with another funeral home, we found Mr. Barber and his family to be compassionate and caring, clearly in the business of meeting the needs of grieving families. We had our Mom moved from the other funeral home to Barber because they expressed concern for what we were going through and for what we wanted for our Mom's service. While other funeral homes had said no to our simple request for a specific viewing time, the Barber Funeral Home said, "No problem." Each of the family members was kind and responsive as well as knowledgeable. When we needed someone to contact an out-of-state newspaper to confirm our Mom's death for an obituary, Mrs. Barber, took the phone number and called them immediately. The funeral home itself is a lovely old home that we found very comforting...especially when we were told that they believe "each family should have their own private time to grieve for their loved one" so they don't book more than one viewing or funeral at a time. The entire funeral home was available for us and our guests who came to honor our Mom. As professional and knowledgeable as the Barbers are, it was their personal compassion expressed to us that was unique and precious to us. A sign in the home says they are "proudly family owned and operated". The Barber family has much to be proud of!
Barber's Funeral Home treated me with courtesy and kindness. I appreciated their giving me good advice for my family's situation. When a loved one passes away, suddenly you are in a position to make serious decisions. They guided me without up-selling me at a time when I was vulnerable. I contacted another funeral home where this occurred. Barber's treatment of me was polar opposite of the other funeral home. Thank you Barber family.
After the recent passing of my grandfather I didn't know what to expect for his viewing and funeral being my first time doing so for any family members. My grandfather had visited this funeral home many times & thought it was nice....So we decided to go this one. Upon the first meeting the person we met with had no sympathy for the passing - yes I can imagine he's done tons of funerals- but compassion is still important. We went thru all the paper work and cost but he never asked us about a guest book or prayer cards, we had to ask. Then he didn't ask us other crucial questions. On the day of the viewing everything was ok a lady was very caring and compassionate asked my grandmother if she needed water or tissues and was very nice. However towards the end of the viewing the same man we had dealt with all along handed me my box I had brought in and said I could start collecting my photos. What a night and day difference. When I brought in the box full of photos the lady offered to help me carry it inside & put them all up for us. But at the end it felt like we were getting rushed and kicked out. I get they were getting paid $250 an hour, but care and compassion. If you loved one has passed I wouldn't consider this place for them.
