CB Dunson, is top notch!!! He was so compassionate to use when Daddy died and even got a picture of a beagle put on Daddy's vault lid and for Moma's he had her dog put on her's plus a great picture that the funeral home used of Moma put on hers. At the grave, he remembered us telling him that Daddy had said if Moma died first he was burying the phone with her, so he put little phones on Moma's name thing that directed people to the grave and then afterwards, he remembered me telling him that Moma was the church prayer chain, it started with her when someone needed prayer and he had little prayer line cards made up in memory of her. Its the little things that they listen to and take action on that make them such a great group of people. I am at the grave alot and not once have they not waved or stopped to speak to me. I would recommend this group to anyone to take care of your loved ones, they don't come any better than CB and his crew. Thanks so much for all you all did for us during our time of grief

They were the ones we used when my Daddy died 21 months ago also and they were just as nice to all of us then. I cannot begin to tell you how the Manager Robert Pinkston just makes you feel like one of the family. They have a wonderful staff there and not one of them made us feel bad. I do not wish death on anyone but if you have to die then you need to let Dillards take care of you, if you live in Pickens SC. We had to change Moma's casket because of her being bigger than the one she picked out, from being sick so long, and they came to the house and went over it with me, instead of me having to go to the funeral home and go out in the rain. Top Notch group of people and I thank God they were there for us during the passing of our Moma.

Donna P My dear husband passed away the day before Hurricane…read moreHelene. As you can imagine life was quite chaotic at the time. Moody-Connolly treated my husband with such care and tenderness as if he were a member of their family. The professional yet personal demeanor of the staff was so very much appreciated throughout his transport from our home to the very last moment upon entering the crematorium. The staff gave me time to spend with my Frank - as if our last minutes were just as important to them. They stood at a quiet respectful distance from us as I said my last words to him. I told them I was ready and they came up to me as we closed the casket and transported him for his cremation. John Monteith allowed me to participate in my husband's cremation as I had requested. I cannot explain how very much this meant to me. We did everything in life together and it was as comforting and appropriate as anything I could ask. The attendants were very gracious and spoke soft kind words as I turned away to leave. I know there could not have been a Funeral Home to carry out my request so respectfully. (Especially during the time Hurricane Helene was expected in the next few hours). I will always remember. The memory is precious because of the personal care all at Moody-Connolly provided for us. We had everything signed in our pre-need arrangements which assisted in making for peaceful arrangements. We had even picked out urns for both of us. Maybe others would think it not necessary but with pre-need planning we could make these kind of decisions and having matching urns was important to us. As you must know in reading this review, I can recommend Moody-Connolly Funeral Home to any family desiring the best for friends or loved ones. I will be eternally grateful to them.

The staff appeared more concerned with the interior of their offices than the actual cemetery…read more This is a Perpetual Care Cemetery but does not appear to abide by the codes. The lawn staff run over arrangements rather than pick them up. Hundreds of markers are broken or damaged by the grounds crew. Sadly, many no longer have family to hold the cemetery accountable. There are hundreds of sinking markers with no efforts to level them. They have a sprinkler system but rarely use it. Weeds over take the grass with no apparent effort to create a pleasant landscape. Memorials are never cleaned. Ground equipment tracks ate noticeably present. Large areas with no grass and graves lost in the mud. The flowers along Wade Hampton Blvd. are constantly stolen or destroyed. Once this cemetery is filled the graves will already be in dilapidated conditions. If you have a loved one buried here please keep watch. Only you can request repairs and restorations. Remember any damage caused by cemetery staff becomes the cemeteries responsibility to repair.
