My sincere condolences to the family. May they rest in peace.

COMPASSIONATE/PROFESSIONAL/DEDICATED

The staff of Alexander Funeral Home were most professional and spiritually led. They attended to our family needs as we navigated through the journey of loss during our mother’s (Ms. Ellyce Jenkins) passing. They were both sympathetic and empathetic. Their true genuineness radiated each time they met with us or we spoke with them via phone. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander are loving individuals who are committed to ensuring this journey for the family is met with little or no roadblocks. We were most appreciative of them sharing their feedback when it came to making decisions i.e., ordering programs, family spray, attire and accessories, times, locations, et cetera.

My family and I highly recommend Alexander Funeral Home. They leave no stone unturned. They went over and beyond to ensure that our loved one’s final wishes were met. You will be pleased you selected Alexander Funeral Home to take care of the final remains of your loved one.

HEARTS TENDING, WHILE HEARTS WERE MENDING!

Alexander Funeral Home really tended to my family’s broken hearts while we tried to mend the pieces back together again. We did not know where to begin, but Don showed genuine sympathy from the moment he step into our loved one’s home. Professionalism was no doubt present, but a sense of warmth and comfort exuded from him immediately. He made a difficult time transition into memorable moments my family will cherish for a lifetime. His staff, as well as his beautiful wife really went above and beyond to make sure our family did not have to worry about an inkling during this time of grief and sorrow . If you are looking for a family that cares , to take care of your family when in need, look no further Alexander Funeral Home is definitely the one!

TOP LEVEL SERVICES

06/16/22 – On behalf of our late mother (Justine Gantt), her children and her extended family, we thank you for providing top level services during a distressful and heartbreaking time. Through difficult moments, where clarity and direction may have been uncertain, Mr. Alexander did not take advantage of our vulnerability. At times we felt helpless having not been in this position before but Don and staff were careful not to encroach upon the sensitivity of the situation. Throughout the process he gave us assurances and honored his word. They provided a complete list of services with a thorough explanation to help guide us through this process step by step. There was both sympathy and empathy displayed towards us. Alexander Funeral Home provided additional information, encouragement, sympathy cards and acknowledgements. A full one-stop-shop that has established itself as the top virtuous charnel parlor in town out of the many.

EXCELLENT AND VERY PROFESSIONAL

I would recommend this funeral home for your loved one arrangements. My dad was the first person I had to do arrangements for. I’m an only child but my cousin and I were responsible for my dad’s services and they were soooooo patient with us. My dad looked amazing and I couldn’t have picked a better place for my dad’s arrangements during my family’s time of sadness. During your time bereavement I would definitely recommend them. Mr. Don and his family were excellent and very professional. Thank you for everything!

A BLESSING IN THE TIME OF BEREAVEMENT

“The Alexander Family and Funeral Home is a blessing in the time of bereavement. My father’s death was totally unexpected, and though my family could have went to other funeral homes in the city, we chose Alexander Funeral Home. They made the process of making arrangements easy and almost painless. Mr. Alexander is a professional, seasoned funeral director. He enlightened us with important information that one wouldn’t even think about. He was always a phone call away and always had an answer to our questions. Losing a loved one so unexpectedly is unfortunate, although it is a comfort to the heart and spirit when you come into contact with a sincere and compassionate funeral home and services. We are still getting positive comments and compliments about my father’s funeral/home going service. Thank you to the Alexander Family and Funeral Home. May God continue to bless you all! We thank you, The Fields Family.”
