The Owners, Jonathan and Garrett are usually there, if not they are always accessible. Rachelle Kessinger is outstanding when it comes to working with families.

I am a former employee and will always recommend their services.

Planning a funeral is largely a miserable experience. You have to make a ton of event details and…read morepermanent decisions, but your heart is so broken and often in grief with no warning. The last thing you want is to feel stressed out over how to plan a funeral, how to afford a funeral, and a thousand little decisions that have to be made in a couple of short days. You neeeeed a funeral home that treats you like family. That takes pressure off you and guides you through such a difficult time. A family-owned funeral home is the first step. The Holland Brothers and Reverend Roy Helms are that support. We suddenly lost our Mom, and figuring out where to even start planning a funeral is scary. Choosing them was the absolute best choice we made, because they made everything else fall in place. The grace and compassion they showed our family won't be forgotten, and we wish anyone going through grief to have the support, compassion, and professionalism of the Hollands. We worked most closely with Jonathan and Reverend Roy Helms... and truly, we cannot thank them and their staff enough for how they helped us. Their planning, communication, and care has been priceless. The only note: it is a very tiny room for the service, accommodating about 30-35 people, so if you need a large room for the service, this could be an issue. The visitation is more relaxed in space. It was absolutely perfect for our family though. We are so grateful. We are so so so grateful, and will recommend the Hollands and Holland Funeral Home to anyone in the area. Absolutely.

I hate to leave negative reviews, especially for local, family owned businesses, but I thought that…read moresomeone could benefit from my honest review and this is the perfect platform to do so. My sister passed away last October 2019 and we needed something right away and my grandmother recommended this business, so due to her wonderful experience, I gave them my business. Long story short - my sister is still left without a marker for her grave. My mother has inquired 2 or 3x with the same response - Sorry, the company took 2 weeks off for the holidays, so they're running behind schedule (Pre COVID-19). As soon as it comes in, we'll notify you. I was very hopeful that we'd receive the marker within the 8-12 weeks timeframe, but 8 months later, we're still waiting for the marker OR a monthly follow-up. I imagine with the COVID -19 pandemic, this will put them even further out. $5,970.51 paid upfront with nothing but a temporary marker. I am deeply saddened by my experience and the lack of correspondence. I understand that I'm probably not the only person impacted - but it sure feels like it when you don't see any reviews of others speaking out or you haven't received any follow-ups. We shouldn't have to reach out for an update. I feel like the company should be applying pressure on the company responsible for producing the markers and provide monthly updates until the marker arrives. At this point, I'm not sure that we'll receive her marker this year.

I don't understand the need for the chain link fence that not only surrounds Hillcrest Cemetery but…read morealso runs alongside the roads that go through it. Is there that much vandalism by people that won't walk around a fence? The cemetery seems to be in good condition. The grass is well mowed and trimmed. The stones are in good condition. There is no shade or cover making it quite hot under the sun. A few older stones could use a power wash but are otherwise good. [Review 15432 overall, 936 of 2021, number 2980 in North Carolina.]

They were extremely…read morerespectful of my family through out the whole process. she passed away with us in her home and when we called them at 6pm to come and take her body they were very prompt and very respectful in our house and with her. The funeral home is very nice and has a very pretty chapel were we held the viewing. We had the service at our church and they were very courteous and explained how the service should run and how the process for the actual burial should go. Death is a very hard and trying experience but these guys were fantastic.

Completely surrounded by chain link fence and with only one entrance, it's clear that Monroe felt…read morethe need to protect this cemetery from vandals. Some of the older headstones have been damaged and that's a sad thing. This is a large cemetery, taking up six to eight city blocks. It is divided into sections known as "Old," "Western," and "Central" which date back to the early and mid-1800's. Most of the roads in the cemetery are driveable and I was able to park in the part of the cemetery with the hillside where the oldest headstones are located. It is pretty but the grounds are a bit uneven in some places. Watch your step and be aware that this is an active cemetery so also be respectful.

My sons and I were clueless, and they guided us through every decision, every idea, often taking last minute requests with no hesitation and giving us time we needed to agonize over details. The service yesterday was flawless, the preparation, pictures, flowers, and military honors all orchestrated by our team and the day could not have been more beautiful. When my time comes, my sons both know where to go, and who to deal with, and they will be in good hands.
