Outside of their facility looking dated (honestly, the interior would've looked dated in the…read more1980s), Holloman-Brown did everything to make the funeral arrangements for my dad as simple and seamless as possible. Dealing with his death is difficult enough, so I thank them for everything they've done to help us grieve with minimal issues and roadblocks. My mom and I dealt almost exclusively with Ron Vance, who is the manager at the Tidewater location. He is extremely kind and helpful and, as it turns out, was a high school classmate to one of my former college roommates (this nugget of info became known when said roomie arrived for the viewing). Regardless, Mr. Vance is the person to speak with if you're in a position to handle funeral arrangements. Thanks to HB and Ron for everything, and thank you for providing more memories to add to my father's legacy. JV

It makes me sad that I even get to rate this place, but here it is. Recently, my partner passed…read moreaway and I was in desperate need of a place that was a) open minded and b) willing to help me work through all the paperwork necessary to get a cremation done. HD Oliver did everything for me. Because of how networked they are in the area, they pick up your loved ones from wherever they are and fill out all the necessary documentation through a hassleless method. They easily could have give me a lot of problems, but instead they took the time to understand my situation and worked through all of it with me. Everything was completed in a matter of 4 days and I was able to come by and pick up the remains at their Norfolk location. I did not use their facilities for a reception so I will not be able to comment on that, but they do deserve 4 stars for their empathy and diligence.

I can not praise them too much!! They were amazing with my dad's funeral so I knew it would go…read morewell. They are very caring and professional. They walk you through everything. It's hard to choose this or that for a loved one gone on before. But Doral (rhymes with Coral) was an amazing help. His brother David also a tremendous help. You truly have to know how to comfort this who are grieving yet take them through each step in the process in a timely manner. Covid restrictions are in place, hand sanitizer stations. These people have the patience of saints. Everything was beautiful.

Paul was compassionate, professional, efficient, and available whenever I had a question -- no matter the hour. He went above and beyond what I expected in my family's time of grief.
