You can confidently place your needs in the hands of the excellent staff at Kilgroe Funeral home. Director Brandon Jester is truly a Friend Indeed.
I appreciated them taking their time explaining all the options to my wife and I, and making adjustments to their package deal to fit our circumstances. I am confident that when the time comes they will take the burden off of us at a very stressful time. We are glad that everything is arranged for in advance. Since we plan to live a long time, we will be saving a ton of money by locking in todays funeral costs. They have a good payment plan with zero interest over 3 years making the costs affordable.
Andy, Brandon, Paul and the entire staff went above and beyond for our family when Dad passed. They were so compassionate, patient and understanding. They never rushed us in any way from the planning all the way through the service and beyond. This was some of the most difficult days of my life, but it was made much more bearable because of these wonderful people.
They are wonderful. There is nothing but good vibes and they treated us well. People have been calling with great comments. And this was our 2nd round - I am planning to prearrange mine soon.
Amazingly friendly, understanding and going above and beyond for us during our loss of our dad. Could not express in words how amazing they were to us.
Mitch was both helpful and compassionate when helping us to make funeral plans for our father. He easily answered all of our questions and supplied us with knowledge of other things we would need to know.While guiding us on our journey through the process, Mitch was professional and made us feel comfortable as though he was a trusted family friend.
The staff at Kilgore were amazing. They all worked tirelessly to accommodate all our needs. It was an extremely busy time for them but they gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to my Mother. I highly recommend them. My husband and I plan to do our pre-planning with they so our children will not have to make these decisions.
On behalf of our family I want to express our appreciation to the staff at Kilgore Funeral Home Pell City for their outstanding assistance with my Father’s(IsaacLee Green) funeral. In particular, we want to recognize the efforts of Mr. Mitch Bartee and Mr. Brandon Jester. Their assistance and heart felt understanding at a most difficult time was invaluable.Their attention to detail for the graveside service is commendable including arranging the military honor guard presence and American Flag presentation at the cemetery. We give Kilgore Pell City and staff High Recommendation. Sheilah Green Roberson And Family
They were in contact with me immediately after I told the hospital that we wanted kilgroe to do the service s the whole staff at kilgroe is very professional and genuinely helpful and sorry for our loss I would recommend anyone to use kilgroe for their funeral needs
The staff are very friendly helpful and they appreciate your business.
When it happened, I had to call Hospice, they came and then I called Dennis Russell with Kilgroe, Leeds and he and Mitch Bartee came. Mitch is a nephew and oversees Kilgroe at Pell City and Dennis and I have known each other all our life. During this difficult time it was very comforting to have someone I knew and I considered family to entrust my loved one to. The whole staff at Kilgroe, Leeds, are very professional yet will make you feel like family. They have been so supportive and helpful assisting me with filling out numerous forms and contacting others, that I could not have done it all without them. They have all made this stressful time in my life a little bit more bearable. I highly recommend them.
Thank you to Brandon who went above and beyond this morning to search out the arrival of flowers for a funeral happening this morning for my Uncle. I was very upset that I had not received a notification from the Florist showing that they had arrived yesterday. Since I could not be there for the funeral, it was very important to me that the flowers deliver so that my Aunt and family know that they were all in our thoughts. Brandon was so kind over the phone and text and and after investigating he confirmed that the flowers had indeed arrived. Thank you again Brandon so much for your assistance.
Great people to help with your needs
The Kilgore staff was very professional and sensitive to our concerns/ wishes. Their support was timely and transparent, not always the case these days.
Everyone hates to go through the process of burying a loved one, but Mitch and his team made this a much less stressful process. They were there a few moments after my father passed away and kindly guided us through the entire process. We were treated with the upmost respect at each step and they truly worked to lessen the burden on the family. Kilgroe also handled my mothers funeral a few years ago and provided the same level of excellence through that experience as well.My dad had purchased a pre-arranged package from Kilgroe several years ago (thanks Dad), and they honored his wishes to the letter. I will be making an appointment with the Kilgroe team to do the same, since this also made the process of Dads funeral much easier for myself.
Postive experience~everyone was professional/careing presented all options.I thank them for their time. ~ LMB
You made a difficult time so much more bearable with your dignity and your compassion.
We were treated with the greatest respect and kindness. John helped us through all of our options without trying to push a particular plan. We made an informed decision and the process was very easy.
The entire time I was treated so well and all my questions were addressed above and beyond what was necessary. Would recommend this staff to everyone.
Kilgroe Funeral Home staff was absolutely wonderful to work with following the passing of my father.Mitch and his staff went over and beyond in assisting us with all of the arrangements.I would recommend this Funeral Home Team to anyone in their darkest hour. They were so compassionate & caring toward my entire family.
Very nice to work with on a topicmost people stay away from. Preplanning will surely be appreciated by family.
Very professional staff. Have had 2 family services there this year and they are amazing. Every single detail that goes into planning makes you feel so taken care of and makes a time of need so stress free. Would recommend to any one any day!
My Lovely Bride passed away, we were not prepared for anything like this. Our pastor said he would call Mitch, God sent us an angel. Mitch handled all the details. he did an outstanding job, nothing was left off, everything went so smooth, if you need help in your darkest hour, they can help make it easier on you. THANKS WE LOVE YOU FOLKS..
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kilgroe Funeral Home in Pell City, Alabama. Canaan Elkins was the funeral director who assisted my family and me with the arrangements for my husbands funeral. Canaan did an AMAZING job! He and Stephanie were so compassionate and kind, which eased the pain of a very sad and difficult situation.Our greatest thanks and appreciation to both Canaan and Stephanie
Making final arrangements for your loved one is difficult. Kilgroe Funeral Home provided a very hospitable environment for me to plan my fathers funeral. Canaan Elkins was our funeral director. It was raining the day I went to plan the funeral service. He helped me get daddys suit and other things out of my car with an umbrella, offered me refreshments, and made me feel at home. He interpreted the details from my fathers burial insurance policy, explained the details to me, and informed me of all options that we could include in the service and burial. My father was retired military. I had no idea that he was eligible for a full military burial including flag folding and presentation, playing of taps, and a 21-gun salute. Canaan and his supporting staff coordinated everything for the military service. In addition, his staff ordered a military foot stone. The day of the service, Canaan organized the pall bearers and instructed them. And when invited to stay after the service with our family to have lunch at the church, he graciously accepted the invitation. During the lunch, he was warm and friendly with family and listed to stories they told about my father. The experience was much less stressful because of the kindness of the people that work there and the fact that they are so organized.
I would like to thank all of you for all the help you gave my sisters and myself on the arrangements for our mom.I have always come to you for in funeral needs and recommended your company to anyone that has ever ask me. I will continue to recommend Kilgore Fu real home to each and every person that ask me.Thx again for the support and a listening ear so many times.
Gary and all the staff were so kind and accommodating to my family. They made sure every part of the service was exactly what we wanted for our loved one. They made the entire experience easier for us. Highly recommend Kilgore.
My family have been shown such compassion, and comfort from Kilgore Funeral Home and the Director, Mr.DennisRussell, was of a caring and understanding man of Faith.As was all of the staff who work with him are of excellent character, we as a family are thankful for their help in our time of loss.
Very compassionate and thoughtful through the whole process. Did not rush us through any decisions and very helpful in all areas. Personal care that does not happen in the larger cities. Thank you Mitch and Gary.
Mitch and Gary went over and beyond for our family. We are so thankful that they were with us through the process of laying my sister-in-law to rest. They were such a blessing.Angie Devenyns (Nancy Bowen)
I was very disappointed with it my mom prepaid for her funeral and then when it came time we couldnt get the music played that we asked they wouldnt even turn it up where nobody can hear it at the gravesite they literally asked people to get up out of the chairs because they had another funeral to go to and let people stand in there I was very disappointed with it and the obituary pamphlet that everyone received they left peoples names out of it that she had pre-made and have the names already wrote up they left names out I was just very disappointed that she paid that kind of money and it turned out as it did but it is what it is
I can’t say enough for the staff at Kilgroe Funeral Home located in Pell City Al. Mitch Bartee went above and beyond to make sure that our family was taken care of during the passing of my uncle Ronnie Thomas. Thank you again for doing what y’all do.
Wonderful experience making my brother’s arrangements with Canaan. Thank you for everything in our time of need!
Super nice service by Mitch, and exceptional eulogy by Andy. Been to this place twice for family members and they have done an amazing job both times.
My wife recently passed away in Arizona unexpectedly. I had no funeral plans in place, no burial plots and no thoughts on how to get my wife back to Kilgore/Pell City. I made one call to Kilgore and worked with Canaan Elkins as my Funeral Director. Canaan was excellent. He stepped me through each step of the process and made me feel comfortable with all that I had to do. He took it nice and slow in order for me to understand what he was telling me. Canaan made the process seamless for me and my family. I was touched by his caring and relentless approach to making the day very special for my family. I highly reccommend Kilgore and Canaan!!!!!!!
Very kind people. Treated me and my family with utmost respect in regards to my mothers funeral. Have never dealt with any nicer people
Super compassionate and very professional. Mitch was very helpful through the whole process, making the transition through grief easier than expected
Mitch is great!!
We have been with kilgroe since 1991 and with every passing of our family the staff goes above and beyond to take care of us.
We had the best experience possible for such a difficult time in our lives. My mother Mary Early passed away the entire experience with Kilgore was fantastic they were thoughtful, they listened to what we wanted and made it the most pleasant experience.
