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.

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.

Wasn't a good experience. The week before my mom died I called them and asked what I needed to do--…read moreor could expect. I also asked about a pre-paid funeral policy she believed she had purchased. They said they would check for it-- and call me back the next day with information. Never heard back. A week later Hadley's picked my mom up from assisted living-- I kind of expected a phone call at that time. The next day I called-- and yep, they had her. They scheduled an appointment to meet two days later, again saying they would check on her policy. . When we arrived-- it was obvious she hadn't checked on policy-- left room several times to check here and there and call people. The rest of the meeting not much was presented-- I had to ask about clothes-- graveside- obituary. They took her handwritten obit-- I offered to type up and bring back-- but they said they would handle it. I wrote a check-- and we were gone. No graveside, but they said it would be several hundred more if we wanted to stand near grave when she was put in the ground. Without the extra money we had to stay at road. Well-- obit was not completed-- called several days later and they said they were still working on it. We were anxious to get in paper-- so I cancelled them and typed it up and submitted myself to newspaper. Took me less than 30 minutes. At cemetery-- cemetery staff let us get right up to the casket, and even gave us a few minutes. No need for an extra fee. Later we checked with Smiths in Exeter if she had pre-paid there -- and was just mistaken. They were wonderful-- gave us numbers to call with state insurance commission to check on a policy. Went out of their way with suggestions. And we were able to find it as just a regular life insurance policy-- although she was sure it was held by Hadley's. It was a simple for Hadley's. We had church service with no casket-- no viewing. But a bit frustrating how little they did -- didn't go an inch out of their way for anything. We won't be using them again.

After a year of my Sister in Laws passing, I finally was able to get the process of her stone…read morestarted in March 2025. I went to the Sanger location and met with David. I explained to David what I was looking for and when I needed it completed by. David jumped right on it and quoted me a very reasonable price. I paid it off on the spot. David from the beginning set the expectation as to when we should expect it completed and installed. Being that the stone was being made in another country and had to be shipped, I knew that there could possibly be a delay. After paying it off, our next appointment was to figure out what we wanted engraved on her stone. David was aware that she had (4) children (3 alive and 1 deceased ) He knew I wanted this stone to be very special for her children. He met with her (3) kids, myself and my daughter. He was so compassionate toward her kids while gathering info. He helped them design her stone and made sure it was so special and meaningful. Throughout the months of waiting David, made sure we were kept inform of the process and delivery period. David knew that our completion and installation date was November 8, 2025 (2 years of my SIL passing). On October 31, 2025 I received a call from David that the stone had arrived and it was completed. He sent me a photo for approval. I approved it and he immediately contacted the cemetery to have the stone installed. On 11-3-25 David called me to tell me the stone would be installed the next day 11-4-25. I cannot tell you how thankful my family and I are with Davis of Ricos' Memorial Stone. They totally exceeded our expectations and I will always refer them to family and friends. The message from each of her children breaks my heart. She will live forever in our hearts. Thank you so much David for your time, effort and most importantly your compassion.
