I know people don't like talking about this subject, however My wife had to use this service for…read moreher mother today. First it's actually called Stephen-Maree-Tracy funeral home. The owner Mr. Ephraim Stephens is the personification of professional and comforting at the same time. From the process of transporting my mother in law until the last day for her burial,Mr. Stephens treated my wife's mother as if it was his own loved one. I can say with confidence, using this service was a Blessing. You can put him at the top of your list if you're looking for this type of service.

Had the unfortunate experience of going to a funeral today. It was handled by Simplicity which I…read morehad never heard of. Researched it online so I would know where to go. Apparently this funeral home was started a year ago by a man with 17 years funeral home experience and is a budget alternative to the traditional expensive cremation and funeral. It is a pleasant chapel with pics online. A basic cremation is around $945 and funeral $4,800 as opposed to the standard $4-7000 for cremation and $11,000 for a funeral in the area. Since this funeral was larger than anticipated, it was moved to Cathedral of Praise with ease. A book was available to sign and a pamphlet handled out with a nice poem and pic. The alter was adorned with flowers and family pics and a beautiful urn of ashes. Tissue boxes were amply provided. The service was just as beautiful as any I've attended and a beautiful song played for the ending. The man from Simplicity was in the background but readily available to assist anyone and guide us through the beginning to end as to what our options were. I emailed the info to my son about this place as these are the people I would want to handle my passing. Simple like their name implies , but with respect and dignity. I highly recommend this place, no point in putting too much pomp and circumstance into what's gone...leave more of your assets to the living..your loved ones.

I cannot recommend Simplicity highly enough. I was tasked with coordinating transportation and…read morefuneral arrangements across states for both of my parents and was at a loss of what to do and where to turn. Simplicity was suggested to me, and I am ever grateful! Just after Amy and Bryan took over all the logistics and my family decided to pre-plan/pay for the inevitability of the passing of my 88 yr. old parents, my father did indeed pass away. The comfort and compassion that was provided to my family has been immeasurable- Bryan was my go-to contact and, because of him, the process of moving my dad from FL to SC and then to burial was seamless, worry-free and perfection! If you are looking for whom you can trust in this industry, where you can place your hope and faith that all things promised will be kept with the utmost professionalism and authentic, personal caring- then I urge you to please contact them- ask for Amy and Bryan. My family and I are eternally grateful- and have continued peace of mind as my mother continues to age, that the arrangements we have made with Simplicity regarding her passing will be just as seamless. We all humbly THANK YOU dear Bryan and Amy. You have been called to do such challenging work, but you are outstanding; true beacons in your profession, and such incredible people :D Amen!

Joe went above and beyond for our family…read more My father passed away on September 3, and my mom, my sisters and I came to Beaufort to have Anderson Funeral Home handle his arrangements. From the moment we sat down with Joe, we knew we were in the right hands. We walked into that first meeting sad and somber, and by the end of it we were all laughing and in good spirits. That is a rare gift. Joe made every one of us feel comfortable and cared for, and he put our entire family at ease. In the days leading up to the funeral, Joe stayed in constant contact to make sure we had everything we needed. He helped us set up Dad's online memorial page, took care of countless other arrangements, and even planted a tree in my father's honor. Joe and Anderson Funeral Home took care of everything from start to finish. Joe also drove the hearse carrying my father on the day of his service. My mom, my sisters and I all took so much comfort in knowing it was Joe with him. Joe is professional, compassionate, and simply one of the most wonderful people we've ever met. We are so grateful for him and would recommend Anderson Funeral Home, and Joe especially, to any family going through a loss.
