I never knew Harrod Brothers dealt with Pet cremation and burials until I looked online for the service. Saturday June 17th was one of the worse days of my life when I had to say goodbye to my dog who was a best friend and family to me. I called after it happened and the lady who answered was so kind. Then on arrival Scott met me at the door with such compassion and genuine empathy I immediately felt some relief. Through the paperwork and handing over my precious boy he was absolutely amazing. The care, compassion, patience, empathy he shown us was indescribable. I could never thank them enough

Very concise and thorough, researched info on my mother's casket to insure it was similar to my father's who passed 30 years ago. Lauren the director was experienced and the staff was compassionate and sympathetic.

Dear Will, This past Saturday, August 28th, at your families funeral home we had a service for my sister Katie Griffin. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the respect that you gave my Mother, and the rest of my family. The details around the funeral to begin with were very hard for my Mother, so ensuring that her Daughter had a proper, professional service was top priority. In your industry, you are surrounded by the reality that everyone and everything alive succumbs to. The ritual of the dead is one that dates back from the very beginning both biblically and through practices created to please the earth at the time and keep in good faith with the one who had passed. The service you provided us was unquestionably what we were looking for. My Mother will continue her life with one less child, one less beautiful daughter. When she remembers her daughter there will be a stain from events leading up to when she decided to change funeral homes. There will be a lot of emotional trauma that will have to be taken care of and we will have to live with that for the rest of our lives. However, the most important part of what our western civilization has created around the dead, viewing the body one last time, was granted by you. The physical body was not an accurate representation of Katie, because of the several moves and the care it hadn't received leading up to the days the body was released to you. This is not on you and I understand that. But the respect you had for my Sister was the most important to me. A funeral is one of the hardest events any person has to attend, especially when the one laying in the casket is one you dearly loved, thank you for making it just a little easier. Your kindness, respect, compassion, and sympathy are most appreciated. Thank you, Christian Miller.

Over the years our family always thought highly of Harrod Bros Funeral Home, and our recent experience was no exception. Everything down to the last detail was PERFECT for my mom's visitation and funeral. Everyone was so caring and respectful. They never hovered over us but somehow they were always there whenever we needed something. I cannot say enough about how well we were treated. Thank you, Will, and your entire staff for helping us get thru a sad and difficult time.

On a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, they are a 15. Went above and beyond and made us feel as though we were their family. We did not think that our loved one could be open for a viewing, they worked a miracle and we could have her open. We are so grateful for this miracle.

Our experience with the staff and owner was absolutely wonderful during a difficult time. They assisted us in every phase of the planning, from the service to the obituary. Will Harrod and staff assisted us in a professional and compassionate manner. Many of the details had already been pre-planned and Will and the staff made sure everything was completed as wished. Our experience with visitation and the service was excellent. The staff was compassionate and professional to everyone who attended. We would change nothing.

They are very friendly. They answer or suggest if needed to keep people from stressing out. They are always calm and polite to keep people from stress or worried over paying the bills. They were good both times. I don't think you could do any better.

From the moment we walked in the door all staff were extremely courteous, caring & professional. We were treated as family and made to feel extremely comfortable. Lauren was fantastic with all of her help. Will Harrod did a fantastic job. He cared about my needs and wants. A great listener and allowed me all the time that I needed to make decisions. Excellent director. Everything is like a well-oiled machine. All were perfect. No flaws or accidents anywhere. Excellent customer service. Professional in all ways. The room was beautifully decorated and military honors made me so happy. I would change nothing. It was absolutely perfect and my husband would have been so proud. Thank you all for loving me and my loved one enough to deliver such an honorable service.

Our family highly recommends Harrod Brothers Funeral Home. All of the staff are so compassionate and caring. From the time I called from the hospital and talked with Lauren, through the funeral planning process Will, Lauren and Scott all went above and beyond to help us through this extremely sad and stressful time. We had a bad experience previously at a different funeral home. Harrod Brothers was totally different and everything was so personal and sincere. We couldn’t have asked for any better service for the going home of our family member. Thank you Will, Lauren, Scott and staff.

..I will say I have never been to any facility that offers such hospitality, professionalism, manners, and dignity as was exercised at Harrod Brothers. Your staff and your eagerness to make our sadness as painless as possible was amazing. Your priorities were just not a business point of view, but our hearts in your hands for the time we spend with you all. You have an amazing group and it has made me want to pay compliment and thanks to everyone who took the time to make us feel special. Thank you.

I can't thank Will Harrod and Lauren Prichard and the entire Harrod Brother's staff (family) enough during the end of life process for my son! I cannot imagine how anyone could do this day in and day out but they do and with such precious thought, consideration and care. My son's service was beautiful and I know he would be honored the way it was handled. The Harrods are distant relatives and local friends but treat everyone as if close relative. Returning after hour phone calls within minutes..I would've never thought. You always hear of the emergency crews being on call and high demand which is expected, but this line of work is just as demanding but overlooked. I am grateful for the dedication, comfort, involvement and continuous care.

Using Harrod Brothers Funeral Home was like having family assist with the services. Their sincerity was comforting to me. They guided me through every moment. They explained every step and did not attempt to sway me from my path for the sake of financial gain. Will Harrod, Scott Hoover, Lauren Prichard, Barbara Conway, and several others were immaculate in their service. I thank them all.
