She was patient and comforting with my mother and assisted me with navigating through the process of laying my uncle to rest. On the evening of the rosary and day of the burial, Nate from Salser & Dillard, was great. He and the other team members were helpful and attentive. Everyone from the ladies at the front desk to the ushers at the rosary were friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Salser & Dillard to anyone in need of a funeral home. I just can't thank them enough!

May 2025 A Compassionate, Respectful, and Seamless Experience During a Difficult Time…read more-Planning my father's funeral was one of the most emotionally difficult moments of my life, but Salser & Dillard Funeral Chapel provided compassionate, respectful, and professional support from start to finish. I worked closely with Christina, who guided me through the funeral planning process with grace and empathy. She listened patiently to all my questions, comments, and concerns, and made sure I understood each detail before making any decisions. I appreciated how she respected my privacy and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Every change I requested was communicated clearly, and I felt truly supported throughout the entire process. I was especially grateful for the private time I was given with my father in the days leading up to the service something I will never forget. On the day of the funeral, everything went exactly as planned. Frank was incredibly kind and personable, helping ensure the service flowed smoothly and on schedule. His presence and professionalism brought a sense of calm to what was otherwise a very emotional day. Following the service, we moved directly across the parking lot to the reception venue, where I worked with Jessica as our event coordinator. Jessica was outstanding she helped plan every detail of our potluck reception, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure the space was beautifully arranged. Her professionalism and warmth were evident from our planning meeting through the day of the event. I was very pleased with the overall package we selected and the quality of service provided by both the funeral chapel and the event venue. During a time of deep sorrow, Salser & Dillard gave me peace of mind and allowed my family to focus on honoring and remembering my father. I am truly thankful for the care and support I received from the entire team.

Their process is slow and they do not seem to care about communication. They do not offer any assistance beyond another excuse why my husband is still at the coroner's office almost 3 weeks after his passing always placing the delay on the fault of the coroners office or doctors office. Now they state that the cremation, preparation of ashes and death certificate MAY be done next week! Maybe!!!! My life is on hold waiting for them to do the job they have been paid to do.

I had to handle this task from 200 miles away and I am grateful to have chosen this group. Elizabeth took my early morning call and was very compassionate. She guided me through the steps to get my sister cared for with professional grace. From the first call to the home delivery of her ashes, all the staff were efficient and kind. I have worked for an excellent hospice for 20 years now. I am well aware of the standards of cremation and burial agencies. My expectations were exceeded with the staff at the Tulare location.

I hope this review steers grieving families to a better place that has dignity in their profession. The bathrooms were also dirty and with no hot water this should be a health violation.

Family members we're bringing their own water hoses to water.. now they put a stop to that too! They changed out all the faucets so you can not hook up your water hose to them. The grounds keepers have no respect for headstones when "doing their job" when mowing and weed eating, don't think they are going to clean up after themselves! They are much to busy trying to look busy. Here is the proof I spent about an hour polishing my Father's headstone and came the next day to find this. Talking to them is like talking to the wall they don't care and blame the "board members" they just collect your money.

My suggestion is that you really do your research and shop around before agreeing for People's to do your service. People's Funeral Chapel is very expensive. There are funeral homes in the neighboring cities that provide the same services for a lot less. When dealing with a death of a loved one emotions are all over the place and I feel Peolple's took advantage and charged almost 3 times what a competitor would have charged me to move my relative. The people were nice enough but at the end of the day it's a rough time for the family and I feel People's took advantage of that. Please just do a little window shopping before using People's.

We had lots of questions and needed lots of direction on what to do. Roxy was very patient and kind. She would even take the time to meet with us on her time off. When we had the viewing Roxy and the other set all the dilevered flower and posters up just beautifully. We had made a slide show and someone always made sure it was on when people were their to view. At the grave site ceremony they had everything ready and set up just perfectly. one of the gentlemen even said some lovely words. The work everyone from Sterling and Smith put in was done perfectly. How they set everything up made me feel somewhat at peace because I know my grandmother would have loved it. So thank you to everyone at Sterling and Smith for your kidness and help.
