Testimonials
Mr. Hemphill did an amazing job on my son, he looked like he was just sleeping. Reba was very nice, accommodating and communicated with me the whole time. The staff working the service were great as well, they showed up on time and the set up was nice. In times like these its nice to know under the circumstances that Hemphill Mortuary was there for us in our time of need. The Goodwins, Boykins, and Jones family appreciate your time and services.<br><br>Robin
My uncle looked amazing service was outstanding
The best ever job well done even after months my brother still looked amazing
I don't usually write testimonials. However, in this case I must. The staff at Hemphill Mortuary is absolutely amazing. They were polite and caring. They greeted everyone as we came in and they did not hesitate to make sure our needs were met. Every time I had to step away , they never failed to make sure I was ok . They went above and beyond what I expected. You couldn't ask for a better staff. I appreciate the service that was provided.
Dealing with a death in the family is never pleasant. Everything takes longer than expected and the grief is unbearable. I called all over town to find someone to help me with funeral arrangements in a timely manner. It was a Saturday night and nobody was answering the phone. Hemphill mortuary not only answered, but also was able to accommodate our need for religious time constraints. Mr. Hemphill was very sweet and considerate and Reba in the office was so helpful. They were gracious and made the horrible experience easier to deal with. I am grateful for them and their services.
