Farley Estes Dowdle Funeral Home & Cremation Care

“We have always used this funeral home with loved ones passing. Losing my dad was very difficult and it was a sense of comfort seeing familiar faces and having the staff be familiar with my dad. They are professional and compassionate. For being in business for so long, they have not lost their personal connection to the people they serve. I can’t remember her name but the girl who helped us make our arrangements had lost her dad as well, and she appropriately shared her story and experiences with us and helped to guide us. I know God chose her for us that day. I was in Hawaii when my dad passed so didn’t get to say goodbye. I wanted to see him before he was cremated and they made this happen for me and prepared me. When I arrived, I was surprised to see my neighbor who took me in to see my dad. I didn’t even know he worked there. Another person chosen by God. Thank you! I have nothing but good things to say about this funeral home and the people who work there. Their profession is not one that many of us could do, but they do it with kindness, compassion, and respect.”

“As my mother passed in May, it was a horrific loss for myself and family. Every generation of my family’s passing has always chose Farley Estes. It was a very sad and confusing time when we met with John Dowdle. As my sister and I planned her funeral he was so kind, compassionate and offered ideas because we were at a loss on how to maneuver through this. As we talked about things, I had mentioned 3 little things, that were somewhat important. Well I had forgot about them and boy he sure didn’t, he remembered all of them. Everyone one there was so kind and extremely helpful during all of this. You John, and your staff really have made me see that we chose the right place for my sweet Mama. Thank you ALL for your kindness and compassion ❤️”

“I lost my sweet Johnny after his heart gave out with this recent snowstorm. He was not even 53 years old. I have to tell you that Jonathon and the rest of the folks here were absolutely amazing. To be a widow at 49 - so unprepared- they were my rational, thinking and heart when I couldn’t rationally think or feel. I absolutely recommend Farley Estes Dowdle for any funeral service you need. I will be working with them in preplanning my own just because of the compassionate care that my Johnny and myself received. Thank you so much for making this most difficult part of my Just a little bit better.”
