My dad passed away very unexpectedly and we had two hours to decide how we wanted to move forward…read more We chose Bixby-South to handle funeral arrangements and cannot recommend them highly enough. Chris, Carley, JJ, Shirley and the rest of the team have been absolutely incredible every step of the way. We interacted with Chris and JJ the most. Chris was the calm in the eye of a massive hurricane of difficult emotions. JJ was so earnest and clearly takes pride in his work. Here are the things that really stand out: 1.) My dad was cared for like he was a family member. From the moment my dad was moved from the hospital to the home, we felt like he was treated with the utmost care and respect. My dad was quite ill towards the end and we were hesitant about a viewing (for many reasons). Chris shared he had cared for my dad himself and that he looked very good. After much consideration we decided to view my dad. We were astounded by how much care was put into his appearance. He looked absolutely incredible and like we had time traveled back to the healthy, vibrant dad we knew. 2,) Our tired, grief stricken brains could barely make decisions and changed our minds frequently. Chris was so incredibly patient and accommodating. We never once felt like our decision changes were a burden. Chris gently guided our decision making process with helpful suggestions and the Bixby-South team happily accommodated when we changed our plans. Chris also made a suggestion for a burial location that perfectly fit my dad. 3.) We felt like Chris and team really "got" my dad. They asked great questions to understand who my dad was a person. We shared that my dad loved golf and didn't think too much of it. When we arrived at the visitation we were blown away by the level of care and attention to detail to create a themed room that truly captured everything my dad loved. It made our celebration of life so happy and upbeat despite the difficult circumstances. 4.) Communication was also very easy. We appreciated the kind, gentle follow-up decisions and details. There is so much to do in these circumstances in such a short window of time. We appreciated the team's communicativeness and follow-up. A few email threads were lost somehow on a few decision but the team called or sent a text to keep things moving. 5.) Our service was seamless with every detail perfectly orchestrated and coordinated between the Bixby-South team and church. Sending so much gratitude to Chris, Carley, JJ, and team. We can't thank you enough. Thank you for bringing so much peace and joy to this very difficult time.

Karie Schaudt is absolutely the most rude and unprofessional owner to deal with. Apparently, she…read moredoesn't need the business and referrals don't matter.

Karie shouldn't have gotten involved in family matters by making comments like the second service would be an "appropriate" service for my husband.

Recently, he officiated my cousin's funeral, and I was truly moved by how beautifully he handled everything. Buck has a unique way of being both incredibly compassionate and comforting, while still maintaining a high level of professionalism. He guided our family through each step with such grace, offering support and understanding in a way that made a very hard day just a little more bearable. During the service, Buck spoke with a warmth and sincerity that felt personal, yet deeply respectful--a balance that is hard to come by. If you find yourself in need of someone to guide you through a time of loss, I can't recommend Buck highly enough. His presence is truly a blessing when you need it most.

The lady in the office was very kind and probably used to people crying. By the time I met with the John Monzingo, the funeral director, I knew what I wanted. They have all the usual things available at a funeral home, I have to say, I wasn't interested in all the side show stuff. Mr. Monzingo got a pretty fast read on me and was very helpful putting together a plan for my final wishes. The only expense for my family will be opening and closing the grave, that is the only thing you can't prepay. I gave Mr. Monzingo a real laugh when we parted and he shook my hand, he said, " I hope to see you again." I said, "You will definitely see me again, I just hope I see you again!" Here I am two years later. :)
