At a time in life where you are dealing with the immediate loss of a loved one there is no one better to turn to than Hawkins and Davis. They made a difficult time easy and could not have been more supportive and respectful throughout the process. I can not recommend the mighty enough.

I don’t even know where to begin, from start to finish the service was outstanding, compassionate and respectful. With the help of Hawkins and Davis I was able to lay my father Frank to rest today. They are fairly priced and helped me with burial as well. It seems strange to say a funeral home is amazing, but this one is and I highly recommend them. During the worst week of my life Hawkins and Davis helped me give my father the final goodbye that he deserved.

I cannot thank you enough.

Hawkins & Davis provided both my Brothers in 2016 and my Moms services this year. They were wonderful from the beginning to the end.

They'd handled my Mother's final arrangements. I'd dealt with Steve throughout the process. The staff was personable, consoling and knowledgeable throughout. The representative who they'd sent to the Cemetery to officiate was terrific himself. Overall they did fine by me and my beloved Mother.

Our mother passed away last month suddenly. It was the hardest thing we have ever had to go through. The staff at Hawkins and Davis made the process of laying our mother to rest simple. They were so helpful and knowledgeable. We felt at ease discussing the process. I would definitely recommend to anyone. While burying a loved one is not easy the level of service that was provided was second to none. We can not thank them enough for the care they provided to mom. They treated her and us like we were his family.

My mom, who was my best friend in the world, passed away recently. If I could give ten stars I would...The staff did everything and more to make my mom's wake and funeral the very best it could be. This devastating loss was made a tad bit easier because he paid attention to details and listened to my requests. Photos were placed appropriately in different parts of the room. Sinatra music played. The video was touching. Mom got the tribute she so well deserved. They were always available to ease my concerns. They even wheeled my brother's wheelchair so I could walk with my daughter at the funeral. They were patient, compassionate and genuine in their concern... I would highly recommend Hawkins & Davis to anyone who has suffered the loss of a precious loved one, without any hesitation.
