See what families have to say
Many families reach out after the conclusion of the services to let us know how much our support and guidance meant to them in their time of need, and we’re honored to receive such heartfelt praise. We feel that these messages speak for themselves and we’d like to share them with you.
If you feel we’ve gone above and beyond in supporting you through this difficult time, or would simply like to reach out and say thanks, contact us to share your thoughts. It means the world to us to hear from you and know that we’ve made a difference.
Nick, Steve and I want to thank you for your services on behalf of our beloved Aunt Rose. You and your team made us feel welcome and executed all tasks with loving care. As visitors to Elkins, we were unsure of each event - but you had everything taken care of! Please pass our appreciation on to your staff

Nick, I didn't want to wait another day to drop you a note and express my thanks to you and your staff on the wonderful service you provided for our sister Dorothy. It has been a month since she passed away and we are still talking about that day. The last time the family saw her at Valentine's we were shocked at her condition, we thought is this how we are to remember her? Those memories would have haunted us forever. Then you worked your magic and when we walked in the funeral home the day of the viewing, not knowing what to expect, we were just amazed and so thankful for what we saw...she looked so peaceful and beautiful. We couldn't have been more surprised and pleased. Thank you, we will always be grateful for your work and the entire experience. Rev. Joe Wolfe's words were uplifting and comforting...we didn't even mind the mud at the gravesite. To bring the day to a close, over 20 family members and friends gathered at the house to share stories, good food and reflect on the day. What a perfect way to honor our sister, I know she would have been pleased. Nick, you know you have our approval for all the services you have provided and you will always be highly recommended!

We would like to thank the most wonderful and caring staff at Nella's South Nursing Home for taking care of my mother, Augustine June Ware Manolidis these past three months. You treated my mom and myself and family like we were your own family. You were like Angels of Mercy. I know this because I saw this with my own eyes. Also we would like to thank the Nurses, Aides, and Counselors at WV Caring. You were also like Angels of Mercy. Without your caring touch and advice we would have been lost. Also I would like to thank all those who sent cards, food, and flowers. A special thanks to Dr. Sam Roberts, Penny Thomas NP, Pastor Rick Price, Shasta & T.R. Eidell and the Lohr & Barb Funeral Home. You will never be forgotten. Thank You.
