We had a very positive experience. I was at a loss on how to handle properly the arrangements for our loved one. I called and explained what I needed. To fulfill a last with of burial but the cemetery was in another state. They were familiar with the cemetery and were able to arrange everything. Pickup at the hospital all the way to transport and go directly to the burial site in a different state! I did not have to do much else. There was no pressure at all. They gave us choices and we made the decisions. We are forever grateful for the outstanding service they provided. The peace of mind that they brought to us is immense. Thank you.

We did my brother's funeral here in 1990 and they were amazing. We just did my mom's funeral here, and they were just absolutely amazing! My mother was transferred from out of state and their communication and response time was fantastic. Fred was genuinely personable, kind, and friendly. He shook my hand and acknowledged my brother's funeral years ago. Every interaction I observed of him interacting with people, he was very polite and personable, and didn't treat people like he was just doing business or just doing his job...like a robot. He smiled, shook hands, and one thing that is important to me is eye contact. All staff were very pleasant to deal with. The place was clean and smelled fresh. I very much recommend this place to anyone.

From the moment I engaged with Fred Dames at Fred C. Dames Funeral Home, it was clear that I was in the presence of someone extraordinary. Fred was the first person who truly listened to me during a challenging time. His non-judgmental approach and immediate action were a guiding light. In facing what seemed like a daunting task, I found an invaluable ally in Fred Dames. His dedication to ensuring the process went smoothly was nothing short of remarkable. He orchestrated each step with meticulous care, ensuring everything functioned like a well-oiled machine. This level of organization and attention to detail, coupled with his willingness to go above and beyond in his service, was evident at every turn and pivotal in navigating the intricacies of such a sensitive task. The most profound aspect of my experience was witnessing the tender, loving care Fred exhibited while transferring my father's remains. This level of compassion and respect made me feel as though Fred is the living embodiment of kindness and empathy, reminiscent of Jesus Christ himself. His humility shone through when he attributed his success to his hardworking staff and the legacy of his father. The entire staff at Fred C. Dames Funeral Home mirrors Fred's qualities - they are friendly, knowledgeable, and deeply compassionate. Choosing their services means ensuring that you and your loved ones are in the best possible hands. In a world often marked by indifference, Fred Dames stands out as a reminder of what true human connection and empathy look like. His presence and the service he provides significantly impact those he helps. I wholeheartedly recommend Fred C. Dames Funeral Home for anyone in need of services. With more people like Fred in the world, it would indeed be a far better place.
