Dear Kathy, I can’t begin to tell you how much your help means to my sister and I. You got us through the most difficult time in our lives, the death of my daughter Vanessa.

You were there at every turn. So Kathy I just wanted to say you were the best compassionate woman to help us and honor our girl with kindness.

-Love the Pignona Family
I tasked my sister with finding cremation services for my husband when he was in his final days. I asked her to call all the local funeral homes and crematoriums and to make a decision based on their customer service over the phone. She selected Richmond Coach. Cathy and her staff were extremely professional and compassionate during a very difficult time. Each step of the process was communicated well and promptly. I’ve heard horror stories from friends of terrible service from other places. Cathy and her team made everything seamless and as easy for me as possible.
-The Woodward Family
Dear Kathy, Thank you for all your help with my sister Susan’s service. I wanted it to be special and beautiful, and it was. Thank you, also, for the copy of your daughter’s CD. Abbey has a beautiful voice. ‘How Great Thou Art’ was one of Susan’s favorite hymns.
God Bless.
-The William/Stump Family
Dear Kathy, the kids and I would like to thank you and you staff for the excellent service your company provided after the death of my husband/father/pop-pop. From the time you picked my husband up from the house, until you delivered his ashes to us, every step along the way was done with much dignity and live. It was such a comfort to us to see how you lovingly wrapped him up with the pillow and comforter. I couldn’t bear to see him carried out of the house, but my daughter stayed and watched; she said dad would have been so pleased with the way everything was handled. I am so grateful for the information about where his body was at all times and for bringing his ashes to the house. May God bless you and all you do to help families!
-The Cline Family

Dear Kathy, Chuck, Abbey, & Otis,
On behalf of my entire family, I want to let you know how very appreciative we are for your professionalism, warmth and support during the past few weeks. From our very first interaction to our last, you made what could have been an otherwise challenging experience, one where it was clear as to the steps we needed to take and what steps you would take and did everything you said you would and more. So, again, thank you for everything!
My very best to each and every one of you.
-The Niles Family

Love,
-The Minnich/Gauntt Family
Kathy and Charles, you have been such a blessing to my family at this stressful time with your advice, professionalism and knowledge. Your compassion and love for what you do in your job and your caring souls shined through with the care you gave to us.
You made it easier for my family to deal with my Dad’s death. We really had no idea where to begin and you were able to help us especially where my Mom couldn’t even be a part of anything in person because she was quarantined with the virus herself. Your help over the phone with her made it less stressful on all of us and we really thank you for that. We appreciate the way you kept us informed through every step of the process.
God bless you and your family. Praying that the vaccines will help save more lives, especially the people who have to deal with it firsthand.
Love,
-The Griffith/Herndon Family

Dear Kathy, As I look back over the past few weeks, I see beacons of God’s light and you are one of them.

-Stacy and Michael
“Dear Kathy, I can’t thank you enough for all of the time and attention you have given to me and my family. When we first learned mom was sick and got your information, I was overwhelmed. You helped me to understand everything and provided me with a friendly, supportive voice every time. We can’t stress enough the dignity your team allowed both mom and dad, which isnot an easy thing to do. They were professional and caring. Losing both parents in just over a month has been devastating, but you have been a rock for us and it is so appreciated. Best of luck to a great mom and professional.
-Love, Pam

– The Knott Family
“Dear Kathy & team, I am writing this letter because I wanted to thank you for all you have done for me and my family during this tragedy we’ve had to face. When everyone else said no, you said yes, allowing us to cremate our son and honor him the way that was best for us. During my hardest time, you helped ease the stress by telling me don’t worry about it, i will handle it. This allowed me to grieve. I know that you carry a little bit of pain and burden from every family that you help. I can’t imagine how that feels. I will never find the words to fully express how grateful I am for you but I just want to say thank you.”– The Vargas Family
“Kathy & Chuck, thank you so much for joining our family and friends to celebrate my husband’s life.
