My dad passed away very unexpectedly and we had two hours to decide how we wanted to move forward. We chose Bixby-South Tulsa to handle funeral arrangements and cannot recommend them highly enough. Chris, Carley, JJ, Shirley and the rest of the team have been absolutely incredible every step of the way. We interacted with Chris and JJ the most. Chris was the calm in the eye of a massive hurricane of difficult emotions. JJ was so earnest and clearly takes pride in his work. Here are the things that really stand out: 1.) My dad was cared for like he was a family member. From the moment my dad was moved from the hospital to the home, we felt like he was treated with the utmost care and respect. My dad was quite ill towards the end and we were hesitant about a viewing (for many reasons). Chris shared he had cared for my dad himself and that he looked very good. After much consideration we decided to view my dad. We were astounded by how much care was put into his appearance. He looked absolutely incredible and like we had time traveled back to the healthy, vibrant dad we knew. 2,) Our tired, grief stricken brains could barely make decisions and changed our minds frequently. Chris was so incredibly patient and accommodating. We never once felt like our decision changes were a burden. Chris gently guided our decision making process with helpful suggestions and the Bixby-South team happily accommodated when we changed our plans. Chris also made a suggestion for a burial location that perfectly fit my dad. 3.) We felt like Chris and team really “got” my dad. They asked great questions to understand who my dad was a person. We shared that my dad loved golf and didn’t think too much of it. When we arrived at the visitation we were blown away by the level of care and attention to detail to create a themed room that truly captured everything my dad loved. It made our celebration of life so happy and upbeat despite the difficult circumstances. 4.) Communication was also very easy. We appreciated the kind, gentle follow-up decisions and details. There is so much to do in these circumstances in such a short window of time. We appreciated the team’s communicativeness and follow-up. A few email threads were lost somehow on a few decision but the team called or sent a text to keep things moving. 5.) Our service was seamless with every detail perfectly orchestrated and coordinated between the Bixby-South team and church. Sending so much gratitude to Chris, Carley, JJ, and team. We can’t thank you enough. Thank you for bringing so much peace and joy to this very difficult time.

Bixby Tulsa Funeral Service recently handled my husband’s service. From the beginning till the very end the entire team was professional, courteous, and most importantly, gracious through the entire process. They were very timely in all of their responses and provided extra services like flower and food delivery to my home after the event. Their facilities were perfect for what we needed, including the hospitality room where we served a meal to many guests. Their arrangements of our photo presentation and music was exactly as we requested. I would highly recommend their services and appreciate all the extra touches they provided along the way. Thanks so much for exceeding our expectations.

After losing my dad last month sooner then expected I was a mess and had no idea what to do or where to go. I had never dealt with a death so close and knowing everyone was looking to me for answers was hard. Not only did they give me a sense direction they lifted so much stress off my shoulders. They set up a beautiful room for us to just sit and be with him. I can't thank them enough for giving us that moment before walking out and facing what was next. I highly recommend them. Even if you just need some guidance on the next steps reach out to them ❤
