Dear Robert: I want to thank you so very much for your wonderful service to our family in the passing of my husband, Jim. Serenity and their entire staff that we had contact with were so compassionate and professional in every way. I now know that there was not another place that I could have experienced this degree of satisfaction. From the day I met you to see if Serenity was the place I wanted to be, I felt it was the right thing. I appreciate so much your compassion and guiding us through to the end, making it happen in just the way it should. There were times that I needed a nudge, or a vision of the possible in my limited financial situation. You helped me to be able to accomplish what I wanted and both Mike and Jon and I feel so very good about everything. On the day of the Celebration of Life, you were there to guide me and my two sons in many instances to make the service a success. On the Sunday of his passing, you created the time and the scenario that my two sons and I wanted and you helped in every way to make it the sacred and beautiful time that we wanted to spend time with Jim to say “goodbye” in a very respectful way that we will remember. Again, our family thanks you and Serenity for making a very sad experience a thing of beauty.

Recently had my mom pass away in St George. We contacted Serenity and worked with Ted & Russ. They both assisted us with the many available options. They were very supportive and kind. While I didn't get the names of the ladies working the front desk they were also very helpful and attentive throughout the process. Ted/Russ explained every detail of the whole process. Thank You Again to the whole Serenity Team.

To: Kerry Gubler and the Staff at Serenity Funeral Home Thank you so much for the loving care you gave to my husband. Raymond Jack Eves. You did such a wonderful job. Thanks for noticing that his shirt wasn't as nice as it could be and his tie had a spot on it. You went above and beyond t make him look so handsome. I actually thought he looked better than he had looked for a long time. Kerry made everything so easy for us as he walked us through every step of the burial of Ray. We have had so many texts and phone calls to tell us how much they enjoyed the funeral. Thank you again for all you have done for us. Your kindness and professionalism has made our journey a little bit easier. Thank You, Jill Eves

Without Duane and Russ, we would have been lost! Thank the Lord that these wonderful folks embraced us, showed true compassion and caring, and were the ultimate professionals. Serenity Cremation is absolutely transparent, which is how we made it through our loss. We participated in the cremation process. We learned so much about the process of funerals and cremations. We were totally at peace, because of Duane and Russ. We will never forget their kindness. We would only recommend Serenity of St. George, as their honesty surpasses all others. They try to sell absolutely nothing. Thank you Gentleman, Nancy and Jason Hallenborg

The passing of a loved one is an especially tough time to begin with. From the moment we met Russ, when he came to transport my husband in the early morning hours, to making arrangements for his cremation we experienced warmth and caring. He and the staff, were calm and professional, yet personable and empathetic in assisting us with every detail. Every option was explained and our questions answered with professionalism. I will always recommend their services to friends and family. Thank you to everyone there who made this challenging time in our lives a little less so.

Dear Russ: I want to thank you, once again, for everything you did for Ralph and me to make this time in my life as peaceful as possible. Due in great part to your careful planning, everything proceeded flawlessly last week. The mortuary staff in Alexandria were very attentive and kind, and Ralph’s service was beautiful. He was buried in a serene, beautiful section of Arlington with military honors, and I know that he is now at rest. Please know that, should the occasion arise, I will highly recommend you to others. Please also know that what you do, and how you do it, makes an enormous difference for the good in people’s lives. With gratitude and best wishes, Janine

Dearest Duane, Forgive me for being so tardy with my appreciation for all you did for me and Mom. Things got piled up on me here, seeing to her business and cleaning out her apt. I don't know what I would have done without you! you are one of the kindest and most sincere and compassionate persons I've met. Your gentle open hearted guidance made this sad journey truly memorable. It was wonderful to see old friends and long lost cousins at the graveside. Again, my sincere thanks for all you did - and do for others - for me. May you continue to comport those who cross your path, as you did me. Fondly Lana

Dear Russ, Our family would like to thank you for the tender and professional care you gave to our daughter and mother, Cheryl. We were not familiar with your staff and services but had been assured by a friend that everything would be handled with utmost care. When we met you the evening Cheryl passed away, it was like greeting dear family members. You and the man with you showed great compassion and tenderness to a grieving family. Even though we knew Cherly would be leaving us, it was very sad and somewhat traumatic for her young children. Thank you for allowing all of us to take the time we needed to say goodbye. We were so touched by the careful way you prepared Cheryl to take her to the funeral home. None of us had ever personally be in a room when a deceased person was taken away and the gentle way you handled Cheryl's mortal remains was so kind and careful. Thank you for the hours spent preparing Cheryl for our family to help dress her, apply makeup, and then for the hours spent at the chapel prior to and during the funeral and at the cemetery. Thank you again for everything you did to help us at such a sad time for our family. Sincerely, Mary Anne S. and Chery's children.

I have worked with several funeral homes during my career. Serenity has always been so amazing. My newborn grandson passed away and we knew we needed to reach out to Serenity. The compassion they showed to our family and to little Hudson was amazing. Recently my grandmother passed and I knew we needed to contact Serenity once again. They made the process so easy from the time they removed her body to the time she was placed in the ground. We never felt pressured at any time. The communication was amazing. I would and have recommended Serenity over and over.

When our beloved mother passed away, it was especially difficult for us (her children) to be living in other states far away. The competent staff at Serenity Funeral Home were notified and immediately took over all the arrangements for her transportation and eventual cremation. Lynn Bloxham contacted me within hours of her passing, and he was available to assist with all the decisions and arrangements. His calm, comforting and professional demeanor was such a welcome relief. I had complete faith and trust in his ability to take care of every detail. I could not be more pleased with the process, which included a multitude of services at an incredible reasonable price. I feel deep gratitude towards all who assisted in this process, and could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you from the depths of our hearts! -Gayle Winans and the Family of June Winans
