Loosing my mom was very hard for me and my siblings. Elite walked me through every step and held my hand ever so tightly. They made a very difficult time a very easy time. They even allowed me to edit mom’s obituary. They worked diligently so that the plan I had was done in the time I wanted. Thank you so much for the love, patience and consideration you gave me and my family. And the loving care you showed my mom on her final journey

I will forever be grateful for the professionalism I received from Mr. Barnes during such a difficult time of losing my life partner, confidant and best friend of 25 years. John’s body was transported from the inpatient care facility with care, and once I viewed John’s body for the last time I was able to walk away with ease; he looked very peaceful, as if he was sleeping. Thank you again.🙏🏽❤️

Words can’t express how grateful and blessed I feel for allowing Elite to care for my dad on his way to his final resting place. Every staff member was professional. Mr. Barnes made this experience easier for our family through timely communication, providing what we needed/wanted to know, when we needed to know it. Also, and most importantly, my dad looked great, just like he was sleeping. I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Elite!!

I would like to say thank you to Elite for the beautiful way you handled my brother's final arrangements. Everything was perfect and you helped our family so greatly in our time of loss. Again, I say thank you
