We can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for us. Without your help and guidance. We don’t know what we would have done. We appreciate all your help and everything you did for mom. It was a beautiful service and couldn’t have asked for a better funeral home to be in charge.
Thank you again Stith Funeral Home,
Malaki and Katlyn Abney
Dear Ann,
Thank you for all you did to help with keeping the cost down and making it a very special graveside service.
With gratitude,
Martha Jane Harmon
AnnYager (Nonnie) and staff,
We wanted to thank you and your staff handling Zane’s funeral, the help, patience, and comfort you gave our family. You are masters of your craft. The craft of caring for loved ones gone- but more than that, the craft of love and compassion. We felt loved and cared for every time we walked through the doors. We knew Zane was loved and cared for while you had him. (That helped this momma’s heart.)
You led us through our darkest days. I didn’t know how I would get out of bed the day after, let alone face planning a funeral. But you held our hands, cried with us, and helped us create a beautiful life celebration for Zane. I have trouble finding the words to express the appreciation we have for you and your staff, but I hope this gives you a small look at our gratitude.
Zane’s family
Lisa, Barry, Brittnee, Matt, and Gran
Robert, Mary, Giles and all the crew,
Just a simple thank you for a job well done. You made us comfortable at a difficult time. We appreciate all your kindness.
Many blessings,
Mike and Teresa
Ann, Mary and Staff,
Thank you for your extra special care you showed my Dear mother, Ruth Huffman. You made a horrible time a lot easier, AnnYager, so very sorry for all the texts, calls, changes, ect. You all have always been special to me and dad. However, your kindness added to our love for you all! Thank you!
Lona Spigle West
Mary, Robert, and the staff,
There will never be adequate adjectives to sincerely thank you all for everything in preparing Bill for the visitation, service, and cremation. You all were great in making me and my family feel very comfortable and calm in dealing with our loss and grief.
May you all have a very merry and blessed Christmas with your families.
Love always,
Carolyn (Gulley)
Stith Funeral Home is by far one of the most outstanding and most comforting funeral home in Danville. They help make all preparations for all funeral needs/etc. and/or help guide you to the proper places you may need for unfortunate times in our lives. And you know that this is more than just any old in and out kind of business they actually treat you and your family as their own family which helps in the most uncomfortable times. Highly highly recommend! Both times my family has used their services they greeted us at the hospital with warm welcoming hugs and heartfelt words xo
Stith was very caring and helped so much during a difficult time with their attention to detail and efficiency!!!
Stith Funeral Home provides personal and comforting services during a family’s greatest time of loss. Making the most difficult of times a little easier. Their heart, compassion and laughter always shinning through. I am eternally grateful . ❤️
The entire staff at Stith was so helpful to me during a very difficult time. I am so grateful for their compassion and professionalism during the entire process of handling my sister’s death. I highly recommend them.
The care Stith Funeral Home provided made us feel like they are members of our family. They offered comfort, support and guidance during a time when we all need help. We always turn to Ann Yeager and Mary and they are there for us immediately, when a loved one has passed away.
This family owned Funeral Home made me feel comfortable and very grateful for the understanding in a tough time. The sudden death of my loved one left me unprepared and not knowing what was needed or wanted to do next. The loving guidance and understanding was just what I needed at that time. The professionalism of the whole team was outstanding. I would recommend Stith Funaral Home to any family in need of their services.
I had prepaid funeral expenses through Stith. When it came time to plan a service for my husband it was very smooth and I had no worries about the care he or I would receive. Very patient and understanding for all my questions and concerns. I feel they went above my expectations by letting me privately visit before and after the service. He was cremated and I got to go spend some alone time with him after the public service. I have known this family for years and wouldn’t even think of going anywhere else. Excellent experience considering the circumstances.
The staff at Stith Funeral Home is warm-hearted, caring and oh-so-kind. They made a terribly difficult time for our family so much more tolerable than it could've been. They answered a million questions, helped us make a world of informed decisions, and treated us like we were the only family they were working with at the time. They took care of so many details for us so all we had to do was greet and visit with the people who came to show their respects. With their help we had a lovely send-off for my aunt, one which I know she would've loved. Our family has used Stith Funeral Home for as far back as I can remember and I can't imagine there's anywhere that would care as much for a grieving family as they do.
The staff of Stith Funeral Home, Ann Cassada, AnnYager, Marcia, and the others that I don’t have the names for, Your love, care, and thoughtfulness along with lots of help in making everything so very nice, calming and comforting were greatly appreciated.
Thank you so very much!
Love,
Carolyn, Amy, and Billy, Jr.
