Testimonials

Being new to the area, I was not familiar with Snowden Funeral Home. My family and I gave them a try and we are delighted that we did. We received top notch stellar service from this company. Our ever need or wish was meet especially by Jacinta Walker. She was so patient and professional. She worked tirelessly without missing a beat and provided excellent service to us time and time again. Although we primarily dealt with Jacinta, the Funeral Director, Mark Dooms was great to work with as well.

Thank you Snowden for hiring and retaining such an excellent staff, especially Jacinta. We just live her. Enough cannot be said about her. She is a keeper for sure.

Dear Mrs. Snowden, Thank you for your words of comfort and support during this difficult time. your genuine care and concern were greatly appreciated. Thank you for all of your work, we were pleased with Snowden funeral Home. Funeral Director Mark dooms and the services you provided.

Dear, Beloved Staff,
To all those who are called to fight on the front lines, be encouraged to stay strong , and stay safe for we have the victory!
May God's peace be with you all.

I highly recommend Snowden Funeral Home. Snowden has buried my family for close to 100 years. We have always dealt with Mr. Snowden. My sister passed on May 15, 2020 and we were assigned Mark Dooms. Mr. Dooms was a commensurate professional. Since Covid-19 things have been very different with funerals. Only 10 people in the service. Mr. Dooms caringly explained the state mandated procedures. While things were different, the services were dignified and comforting to the family. Even in these tough times, Snowden Funeral Home took special care of my family.

Thanks for everything and for taking such good care of our mother

I just want to thank you for sending me the book "emerging from the Heartache of Loss". It's been quite helpful and i shared it with my Prather family. This was thoughtful of you, and i appreciate it!

I wish to thank you for a kind act of yours. It was in December 2013 when you made a flag frame for my son, minister Jonathan Taylor. The frame holds the flag of my husband, Reverend Nathan Taylor. My son, Jonathan, intended it to be a token of love from him to me and to honor his father. The flag frame is super... exactly the way I hoped for it to be. May I say thank you! For the wonderful workmanship and the Christ like gesture of love. I am very pleased. God Bless you and again thank you.
