Oakwood Funeral | Celebrate Life

“JR was very professional, patient and helpful during the planning of our mother’s funeral services, and on the day of the service. There were no unfamiliar faces or mistakes. He responded to calls and emails quickly, had everything ready for our choices including a lovely wooden urn, beautiful flowers, a personalized guest book, memory card, and lovely video of pictures we downloaded to his portal. I would highly recommend Oakwood funeral home.”

“The staff at Oakwood Funeral Home were incredibly caring and professional from the moment we called. JR and his team worked closely with us to create a truly amazing Celebration of Life service for our husband and dad. JR listened closely to our thoughts about how we wanted the service to look and feel, and he offered thoughtful suggestions that made it even more meaningful. We were able to personalize the celebration by displaying some of his favorite items, including his bike, playing his favorite music, and serving his favorite foods. The digital photo montage the team created was beautifully done and captured his life perfectly. The minister JR recommended brought both humor and grace to the service, and together, he and JR even helped us plan a heartfelt toast in our loved one’s honor. We received so many kind and complimentary comments from guests about how meaningful and fitting the service was. It was a perfect send-off for someone so deeply loved. We highly recommend Oakwood Funeral Home for their compassion, professionalism, and their willingness to work with families to create a memorial that truly reflects their loved one. The venue itself is modern, inviting, and incredibly well-equipped for a personalized memorial service. Our experience was better than we ever could have hoped for. Thank you, JR and the entire staff.”

“My mother recently passed away unexpectedly. Being an only child and never had to face anything like this, I was overwhelmed with navigating the long list of things that needed to be done (and quickly). A friend recommended Oakwood. I live in another state and had no point of reference, aside from her good word and google reviews. I still did my own research and decided to take a chance with Oakwood, primarily because of the wonderful reviews specifically mentioning JR. I could not have made a better decision. The entire process of planning the service was stress-free and many times I was questioning myself about missing something because it all seemed way too easy. This is because JR was so organized, detailed, efficient, and compassionate. Everything down to the last detail was handled perfectly - even the flower arrangement I had trouble describing, JR said “I know exactly what you want”. Still, I didn’t know what to expect as far as the space since we planned this all remotely. The moment I walked in, I knew it was perfect. The space is warm, welcoming, modern, comfortable - not stuffy or outdated like many places I have seen in the past. I highly recommend Oakwood, even for those who may need to travel a bit. It’s well worth it. Countless guests commented on how beautiful everything was and how happy my mom would have been with this space for her final goodbyes.”
