Testimonials

My son passed away and I had his funeral at Forest Lawn in Greenwood. The entire process from start to finish was outstanding. Although my son's passing was tragic and sad, the service was a great honor for my son's memory. The funeral director, Missy, was great during the entire process. She cared about every detail. I never met her before I made the arrangements, but I felt as if she was an old friend that cared about me and my family. Another member of the funeral home staff, Kurt, was also very caring. The pastor over the service, Danny Thomas, was incredible. His words were inspiring to all and he honored my son in a way my family and friends will never forget.

Greg Norris

The staff at Forest Lawn was so compassionate and caring to my family with the death of my Mother. Doug and Missy went above and beyond what I have ever experienced with any other funeral home. Every detail and need was taken care so timely and lovingly. Thank you for being such a blessing to my family.

Susan Hobson

The staff at Forest Lawn went above and beyond, what we could have ever expected. They were very professional and so sympathetic to all of our needs. We would definitely recommend Forest Lawn!

Thomas Stinnett

I can't put into words the compassionate Melisa.Rump showed my family. She listened to every detail that we wanted for my Mother's Service. I can honestly say this is definitely Melisa's calling and I am so thankful the support she showed my family during this very difficult time.

Stacey Camacho

My family and I had good experience with Forest Lawn Funeral Home. The staff was compassionate, patient and supportive throughout the whole process even when we were indecisive. I never felt like we were being persuaded to buy anything we did not want. I do think the grounds need some TLC like the roads. Missy and Matt were informative and service oriented throughout an overwhelming process. I thank them for helping my family through a difficult time. Considering the circumstances, the overall service far exceeded my expectations.

Leslie Query

I can not say enough about Amber and Jerry! If it were not for them, I am not sure my family would have made it through this devastating time. They were very compassionate and brought a true calmness to my family. They were accommodating and did everything they could do to ensure that my mom had the most perfect send off to heaven! Thank you Amber and Jerry

Condolence From: Kimberly & Kaylee Sickles
Condolence: Santa, the holidays will not be the same. I always knew where to find you and Kenny working on some project. I spent endless hours talking to you and getting advise. You shared so many stories with me and I will never forget you in the Santa suit. Kaylee honestly believed you where the real Santa and the flea market was your workshop. Ashley your father shared so many stories with me about you, he was a great father and grandfather and boy was he proud of you, and sure did love you. If you ever feel down and need to be reminded of your father's love please feel free to contact me or Kenny Seabolt we can keep you up for hours. You sure will be missed Santa, until we meet again.

Condolence From: The McFall Family
Condolence: Our dear dear friend!!! You have been a part of the James and Norma Johnson family as well as all the extended family for so many years. You came into our family knowing my sister Brenda. You had so much love of life that was contagious. Our families shared in holiday celebrations. Our children shared in your excitement and enjoyed all your special decorations for the holidays. You were on a life mission to spread the joy, love, happiness, and gift of life. A smile, simple hello-how ya doin, the simple knowing of a child's name to make them feel noticed and special were just a few jestures how Jay wanted you to know he cares. The ability to stir up conversations with anyone anywhere was a craft just like all the crafts and gifts you were passionate in creating. You have left a legacy to the next generations in our families. Blessing be with you and your family. You have earned your heavenly wings with the highest of rank. With much love, Teresa, David, Josh, Maria, Cory, Britney, Camden, Brady, Lauren, and Kalee-The McFall

Condolence From: Sherry
Condolence: My sympathy is with the family and friends. Jay was such a sweet person .....he did whatever he could to make my Christmas presents personal at his little shop. When it came around to Christmas Jay was one of the first I thought of. I remember going into the shop to pick out a few things and with the hustle and bustle I would leave out about two hours later. I enjoyed talking to him .....glad I took that time even though I was busy. He will be dearly missed.

Condolence: One of the nicest, most thoughtful men I have had the privilege of knowing. Better yet, I had pride because I could call him my nephew. We had many personal interactions that will be in my heart forever.
