Joe Petty and Oliver Petty were so kind to us when my father passed away. They helped us have my dad a beautiful service and we so appreciated their kindness and love during our time of need.

When my mother (Nadine) passed away, I had a very hard time. Mr. Joe Petty was awesome. I wanted a locket of her hair and we had already began leaving the funeral. I was beside myself, but Mr Petty stepped up. I had forgot to bring scissors, but he made sure to go back and get me my lock of hair. To this day, I wear it in a mourning locket with her picture. It’s the willingness to go above and beyond while being there for grieving families that sets them apart. I will never forget how he was there throughout the process for my family.

This is a HORRIBLY UNPROFESSIONAL business!! This Funeral Home was entrusted to handle the services for my 'Brother-in-Law, Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law' with dignity and grace. All 3 of the services were a collection of inappropriate procedures and totally unheard of practices.(UNPROFESSIONAL) Confusion and an attitude of "hit and miss" was the order of the day with all three services. While this is probably one of few funeral homes in the area, I'd move a service to Pensacola to avoid such a catastrophe. BUYER BEWARE!! (UNPROFESSIONAL) They didn't compose and publish appropriate death notices, they failed to provide the information of what the family needed to file concerning the death, and they inflicted additional grief on family members through their UNPROFESSIONAL practices. The Funeral Home published death notices of both my Mother-in-Law and Father-in-Law without even spelling my Husband's name proper! (UNPROFESSIONAL) Even worse, my Husband was the only offspring of his father and this Funeral Home didn't even publish his name right, instead all of these step-children (who were born long before my Father-in-Law had even met my Mother*in*Law) were listed with their illegitimate kids, (kids born out of wedlock or the product of an adulterous affair). (UNPROFESSIONAL) The notices totally falsified the relationship of people to my Father-in-Law. Not being acknowledged on your own father's death notice is the epitome of an unprofessional business. My Mother-in-Law's death notice made no mention of her marriage of 49 years to my Father-in-Law; (UNPROFESSIONAL) instead, it was a litany of attention to bad taste and socially unacceptable self-proclaimed titles. Who claims children born of an adulterous affair (with absolutely no blood relation to the deceased) as a Grandchild or Child?(UNPROFESSIONAL) While the product of an adulterous affair, and children born out of wedlock is celebrated in Century or Flomaton, the rest of society doesn't exactly put that type of behavior on parade and especially not in an obituary of a man who dedicated himself to living an honorable life.(UNPROFESSIONAL) Highlighting the indecencies of the behavior of specific individuals in an obituary of a man who has no relationship to him is beyond comprehension to any person with any civility. UNPROFESSIONAL, Neither my Father-in-Law nor his ONLY offspring believed in illegal and promiscuous lifestyles, and to have that type of behavior highlighted in his obituary isn't just unprofessional of the Funeral Home to do, it's also unthinkable to any educated person. UNPROFESSIONAL To tarnish a man's reputation after his death is grossly unfair to that person. (UNPROFESSIONAL) We don't usually expect much from an area that has widespread poverty and such a prevalence of uneducated people, (like the Century/Flomaton has) but, we did expect a minimal level of professionalism from the Funeral Director. Do yourself a favor and just avoid this place, they'll add nothing but additional stress to an already emotional situation.
