Serving Southeast Arkansas since 1928
“I would like to thank everyone here for their kindness and support. My dear mother passed away in our home state of Texas, and she wished to be returned home to Arkansas. I called and left a message, and Mr. Dearman called me back in short order and helped my family take care of everything. He made the arrangements for my mother to be moved, took care of all of the procedures, and never once pressured us for any payment. He helped arrange the order of the service.”
“On behalf of the Owen family, we wish to offer a sincere thank you to you and your associates. Your experience and guidance enabled us to honor Bill in a very fitting farewell.”
“I would like to thank the entire staff for a job well done. My father, the late Robert Earl Arrington's Celebration of Life was MIND BLOWING. Everything was PERFECT. I appreciate you guys.”
“Very good at everything they did. I would refer you to others because you said and did everything with true honesty and trust. Was very well done. Thank you.”
