From the first contact and many calls in between-I had all my questions answered ...I was coming from out of state and they made special arrangements to meet my requests..they presented my Son with so much dignity and I can't thank all the staff involved enough..what a beautiful place and respectful staff..thanks for going out of the normal portal for me and my son. .

This one took me a while to write due to the circumstances. This was the only place we needed to visit. From the first call, the staff accommodated and serviced our family well. We did both (funeral service and traditional burial), and throughout it all, they had people to take care of almost everything. The grounds are well kept, they genuinely care, and work hard to make things easy in a very hard moment.

- Hector Delgado
I can't say enough good things about Franchesca, Mary and Leshawn during a very difficult time when my brother passed away recently. Their care and concern I know went beyond what their job calls for. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart.

This was a beautiful place to attend the memorial for my Auntie. The rain was most unpleasant, welcome to Georgia. The sign placed out front was most welcoming to know we were at the correct location, even the sign placed in the front was most helpful. We arrived at the wrong building first but the water fountain there was beautiful. The interior of the correct location was beautiful and the glass window was pleasing yet the screen hid the beauty. The glass cases niche inside were beautiful. The coffee for guests was nice my husband appreciated that. The slide presentation was nice put on by her nephew. Overall I believe her daughter was pleased with her care for the service of her mother. As an attending person the service was beautiful. We traveled from Florida to pay our respects . ~ may she rest peacefully

Cheatham Hill is a beautiful, well kept cemetery with outstanding facilities

- Tom Crawford
A wonderful place to celebrate and say goodbye to loved ones. Shane and the entire staff were so thoughtful and accommodating during a very difficult time for our family. They have several choices of venues for services within the park, which is very well maintained. They have many different pricing options too to fit any budget. No one really has it together when a family member dies but my husband and I left the day of the service for my father in law thinking that they made it a little bit easier. Definitely recommend.

Southern Cremations & Funerals at Cheatham Hill was my first and only stop as I searched for a burial park. After the very courteous receptionist, I met John Baranchak who was very professional and genuinely caring as he presented the burial services offered at Cheatham Hill. John and the entire Cheatham Hill staff were committed to providing comfort and support during this difficult period of time.

- Vernon Vereen
I had the pleasure of doing business with this wonderful facility. You simply couldn’t ask for more compassionate and friendly people. Mrs Lisa Barker, Mr. Jose and Mr.Tony Parker you guys were great!!!

- Heather Jeffery
Everyone, from the first day we entered their offices was so professional and yet at the same time so kind, sweet, and treated us with heartfelt sympathy at the sudden and tragic death of our Mom. The funeral was over 250 people and Michelle, Ashlyn and Sandra treated us with respect, and such kindness. I know this sounds crazy, but if you are in the Cobb or Paulding area and are looking for a funeral home or a cemetery I can not recommend Cheatham Hill enough. They were all so sincere and even the gentlemen at the graveside, were respectful and kind. They served us with dignity and made our last moments with our Mom just what we would have wanted to remember her.

- Madeleine Monson
Service was wonderful. Staff was very helpful and attentive to our needs. Everything went smoothly and exactly as we wanted. Communication was perfect. We are very thankful for CHMP for helping our family in such a challenging time

This is a cemetery. It’s neat, clean and a resting place for your loved ones that have gone before us.

- Alice Landrum Sease
Beauty and Serenity is how I define this place. So grateful for the staff and the prompt, kind, professional work they did in our time of grief. Ralph is knowledgeable and understanding every step of the way. I’ll forever be grateful and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a final resting place of their loved one.

On behalf of the entire staff at Higgins Funeral Home of Benton, TN, we were honored to serve the family of Ralph Bryan and peacefully lay him to rest at Holly Hills alongside of his beloved late wife, Ms. Winona Hester Bryan. Of the many beautiful resting places I have been privileged to serve at, the courtesy and reception we received as an “out of town” funeral home was second to none. From the initial phone call and speaking with Ms. Heather, to arranging and coordinating the graveside service with Mr. Ralph, as an Undertaker, I felt at ease that everything was being handled appropriately. Upon arrival at the cemetery, we were greeted by Mr. Jordan along with his colleague Mr. David and welcomed as if we were apart of their own. At the conclusion of the service, Mr. Trey and his partner prepared the grave with care even though there are truly no words of thanks that I could describe about each one. It was an honor to be apart of such A Celebration of Life at A Place Where Memories Last!

- Higgins Monuments
Staff was so awesome!!! I felt the love and support from everyone. I would definitely recommend. Friendly environment met all of me and my family needs and wants. Hands down the best! I really appreciate you guys.

- Cortney Dixon
Today, I purchased a marker for my mother from Tiffani. She answered all of our questions, and there were many, made changes, and helped us get it ordered. She is extremely knowledgeable, quick, and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend Holly Hill for your needs. She is the BEST! Thank you

- Larry Bassett
LaShawn at Southern Cremation was such a blessing to our family during my dad’s memorial service. He showed incredible compassion, patience, and professionalism from start to finish. LaShawn guided us through every detail with care and understanding, making a very difficult time feel less overwhelming. His kindness and attention to detail made it possible for us to focus on honoring my dad’s memory. We are truly grateful for his support and highly recommend him to any family in need.

- Marquita V
The staff at Southern Cremations was so helpful from the very beginning. They showed great respect from removing his body to the final cremation. They took care of getting everything completed for his final military internment.

- Karen Alexander
I can not express my appreciation enough for the care and direction that was provided to me and family during a difficult time. Southern Cremation worked seamlessly with my hospice team to make the transition from home a respected and caring period. The personal were incredible nice and answered any and all questions or concerns. Thank you all!

- Tammy Baird
Had an amazing experience. They took such loving care, time, and patience with my mom’s remains and always kept our family informed. I would recommend them without hesitation. Miss Miracle is the best, and the entire staff is the epitome of sincerity, caring, love, and attentiveness. Thank you all for taking care of my mom from preparation to shipping. I am forever grateful.

- Carolynette LaGana
I could not be more pleased with our choice of Southern Cremations for this painful experience. Kevin Baker’s empathy and patience and Miracle Randall’s handling of details were extraordinary. I will add that our choice of arrangement was respected from the outset without pressuring of any kind. Thank you from my heart!

- Alice Ramsdell
Words can not express how grateful we are to Southern Cremations and Funeral! They went over and above for us as we navigated the loss of our father! From the beginning Sabrina held our hands the whole way through the process making it so much easier than we could have ever imagined. She guided us through the process with so much compassion and kindness! Thank you to Sabrina and the entire staff for all that you do!

Thank you for the care and concern shown to me and my family. All our needs were fulfilled. Thank you for the warmth shown to us during this trying time and the good job of preparing our loved for his final resting place.

- Alma E.
The death of a loved one is always hard. Open caskets are common here in the south and often times the loved one you are having the service for is unrecognizable. This place did an excellent job with my grandmother and we are very thankful. She would have been happy with how she was presented she looked beautiful. She was a beautiful person in life and they showed that with the care and detail they put into everything from how her nails were done to how her makeup was made. I was around her quite often and she could have passed for sleeping in a casket in her Sunday clothes and makup on. Staff was friendly, sympathetic and supportive. I would highly recommend this place from my experience. Job well done grandma. Job well done southern cremations thank you.

- Justin Jones
No one ever really knows what it feels like when a loved one passes away, especially when her death was unexpected. Such was the case when I lost the love of my life, my high school sweetheart, my life partner and the best wife, mother and grandmother any husband and family could ever hope for. Her final resting place was paramount to her and to our family. Her final wishes included being buried in a cemetery which was beautiful, well kept and family friendly. Southern Cremations & Funerals, McDonough, GA 30253, fit those requirements without question. My daughters, son and I were treated with kindness, sympathy and in a highly professional manner from the moment we entered their facility. My family and I want to thank the entire staff at Southern Cremations & Funerals and highly recommend their funeral services to you and your family when Our Lord Jesus Christ calls your loved into his internal and perpetual care. May God bless them. May He bless you and yours in your time of mourning and loss and may He continue to bless Southern Cremations & Funerals for their professionalism and services.

Southern Cremations and Funerals treated my family really well and provided an excellent service during this difficult time. We worked directly with Kashia. She was patient and understanding. All of our questions were answered and we could not have been better taken care of.

If you are looking for caring and professional service at the most difficult time. Southern Creamations are the best! This was my second time using them. Once for my father and again for my nephew. Ashton in Mcdonough treated me and my family with so much care, and helped with everything we needed. Their cremation service is very affordable as well. If I could Gove #20 stars, I would. God bless you all, and Thank you for all you do! Mrs. Banks

- Gaylor Banks

- Cheryl Frogucki
The people here were so helpful after the passing of my father. They made sure we had everything we wanted for his service and were so accommodating. I will recommend them to all my friends and family.

- Dawn Burns
This was the first time in my life that I have had to plan a funeral and I had no clue what I was doing, but everyone at Southern Cremations & Funerals was so helpful and patient with my family and I while they walked us through the complete process. Everyone that I came into contact with from the people that answer the phones at the answering service was respectful, considerate, comforting, and made this process a little bit easier. I had to plan my moms funeral from another state, and everyone made the planning process easier, they explained every single step and helped us make choices that were the best fit for our needs and budget. I would recommend Southern Cremations & Funerals to anyone who has lost a loved one, because even now over a month later I am still receiving calls from the staff checking in to see how I am handling the loss of my mother and asking if there is anything they can do to help. I want to thank each and everyone of you for all of your help and support, with the planning of the services and everything that came after. My family and I deeply appreciate all of you.

- Centoria Coffil
Southern Cremations and Funerals in McDonough made a difficult time so much easier. They handled my father’s cremation and Memorial service. The staff was professional, caring and provided a sense of peace and reverence to my mother and family through all the decisions and final service. My funeral director, Ashton, was awesome. She was never more than an email or phone call away, answering my many questions and keeping me on task. Many thanks from my family.

- Andrea Baker
My husband and I arranged the prepay cremation about 18 months before we needed to use one. The prepay was almost effortless. We never had to leave home and the person on the phone was very helpful. Then, when my husband died, we had absolutely no problem and no issue other than waiting 2 weeks for the death certificates(which could be partially the coroners office's fault). Anyway, I do recommend using the services of Southern Cremations and Funerals. They are professional and easy to work with.

- C. Wells
This cremation services was on point. Mr CJ was very much professional and helpful. Now that after all my family and myself went through. I just received a pleasant call from Ms Julissa comforting me and I am very grateful to finally have a wonderful funeral business that cares about their clients more than anything else? Well deserved

- Michele T.

We are so thankful for the compassionate and professional care we received from Southern Cremations & Funerals in Fairburn.

Her guidance made a very difficult time much easier for our family.Thanks to their support, our loved one’s final wishes were carried out exactly as intended. We highly recommend Southern Cremations to any family looking for thoughtful, dignified care—especially if you’re considering pre-planning. It truly made all the difference. — The De Haven Family

My 103 year old mother had specific wishes and ideas. Southern Cremations met them all with understanding and compassion. Dealing with them during the planning stages was a pleasure. After my mother passed they took control of the situation and there were no surprises. They managed all details professionally and smoothly. Thank you Southern Cremations.
