"The SouthCare staff made everything as easy as possible during the most difficult time in our lives - making plans for the service to honor our 23 year old daughter. They gently urged us along with the critical details and were extremely sensitive to our emotions and difficulty making decisions. Darren was warm, professional and available after hours. Courtney had the utmost patience with us as my wife wanted to handle the makeup on our daughter but found it to be overwhelming. We highly recommend SouthCare."

"The simplicity and care from Courtney when we walked in on a Sunday afternoon, not even knowing they normally aren't there on Sundays (unless pending arrangements) was a blessing. We knew we were in caring hands, sensitive to our needs, even though we did not know what our needs were. Since loosing a son there's know way we could have known or prepared. It was a gentle and peaceful process at SouthCare. The week was full of a lot of unexpected planning and each time we called they were there to help us with our plans and changes and to do the very difficult arrangements. The night of the visitation was know exception. Courtney and Darren were there, helping the many family and friends if needed. My family from all corners of the country were made to feel comfortable and not stressed. Like being invited into a friends home. I feel like I made a new and very kind and caring friend. Thanks for being there for us. Even though we didn't know for sure where we were going that Sunday morning, after hearing of our sons death the previous night, I know the Lord led us to you."

"Courtney at SouthCare in Alpharetta did a wonderful job of helping us through the difficult process of planning my mother's memorial service. She went through all of our options and did not try to "upsell" us. One of the best things about this facility is that you have the entire facility to yourselves. We had the chapel, visitation room, foyer and kitchen for our guests to use. They provided light catering for a very reasonable price - much less than other places I had checked into. They allowed us to borrow an urn for the memorial since the urn we had purchased was an urn vault for burial which is not very pretty - other places want you to buy one. Most of all, Courtney was so kind and empathic throughout the process - like she was a part of our family.I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a funeral or memorial."

"I am so impressed with the level of care and professionalism I received from SouthCare Funeral Home and Cremation Society. Their attention to all of the details in making certain that my loved one's wishes were respected was exemplary. With full confidence, and sincere praise to Courtney and Renee at SouthCare, I highly recommend the outstanding services provided to my family by SouthCare Funeral Home and Cremation Society of Alpharetta."

-Nancye Lee

 

"I had a really positive experience working with Southcare Cremation & Funeral Society. They did an incredible job with my loved ones cremation and made the process smooth & prices reasonable. Darren Brown, the Funeral Director, also went above and beyond to assist me in creating a necklace of my loved ones ashes as well. It's a keepsake I will never forget and a funeral society, I will never forget and always recommend. This is the best place for cremation and funerals."

-Chelsey Carter

 

"Our experience was perfect. We met in advance of Jackie's Mom's passing and explained to Courtney what we wanted. Courtney handled everything just right. It was an extremely hard time for Jackie, my wife, but having Courtney helping us made the time much more comfortable."

-John Dosen

 

"Extremely professional in all points of contact. From the first phone call inquiring about their services, to coming to our home, all perfection."

-Doug Morrill 

 

"SouthCare did a fabulous job with my mother's funeral. From the moment they picked her up from the nursing home I felt she was in good hands. The staff was professional, friendly, and compassionate without being overly solicitous. We wanted a low-key family service that was still beautiful and elegant. And that's what we got. The room for the viewing and the service was perfect. SouthCare accommodated our religious needs perfectly. We really couldn't have asked for more. Now let's talk about the practical part. We saved a lot of money using SouthCare, but the service felt expensive. You would never know that we were trying to economize a little bit. The staff treated us as if we had used their most expensive services. We like the fact that their prices are posted on their website. You know what you are getting and what it will cost. And they are flexible. They can make adjustments to their offerings to accommodate your needs. I wholeheartedly recommend SouthCare. When my time comes, I hope my family will use them for my funeral."

-Deborah Van Horn 

 

"Tremaine was very thoughtful and patient with our family. I have had my aunt, uncle, father and mother all cremated by SouthCare. Tremaine helped us get what we needed and at a great price. He did not try to sell us more than what we needed, but politely asked us what we wanted and made it happen. When we called back with multiple questions, he was very helpful and answered all of them. He made sure that we had all the paperwork that we need to travel with. Robin, the receptionist, was very courteous and helpful as well"

-Angie Lovewell

 

"I recently visited the Franklin Rd. location for a service while supporting a dear friend who lost her mother. The staff was professional, courteous, and the facility's ambience was soothing. The one aspect about this business that stood out to me, was how easy it was to go online and arrange for everything at a low cost. Amazing job SouthCare!!!"

-Kaci Owens 

 

"Southcare Funeral Service was very Professional in every way , Tremaine Jordan went above and beyond the call of Duty, he took the time to show me exactly how the cremation process is done from start to finish, he was also kind enough to cut my mom's long beautiful grey hair before the cremation process started, at my request of course . Thank you Southcare for help making my mom's Home going a pleasant experience."

-Paul Kendrick 

 

"My family and I found Glenn Telfer and SouthCare to be very compassionate and professional in the handling of the arrangements for my Dad recently. In addition to making the decision making process easier for us, the respect shown for my Dad, as a Veteran, was very much appreciated. Glenn even provided us with information about the significance of the folds in the flag done for Veterans and the words to the Taps played at many funerals for Veterans. We would highly recommend the services of SouthCare."

-Ann Marie Ellis 

 

"My husband passed away in February. I was very impressed with the kindness and thoughtfulness shown me. From meeting the representative at the hospital to helping me complete all paper work. I found Glen very helpful when I was trying to get the death certificate."

-Jacqueline Way 

 

"Would highly recommend SouthCare's Stockbridge location to all looking for cremation services for their loved one. Had a great experience with Funeral Director, Glen Telfer, as he was very compassionate, kind and provided great customer service to me and my family on both occasions when my mother and husband passed."

-L O 

 

"We have worked with Glenn and staff at SouthCare Cremation on 3 different occasions and could not have been more satisfied with each involvement. Whether it was fairly basic services at their location or a church service, motorcade and cemetery service, Glenn insured that each part was appropriately selected, properly prepared and performed as expected so that our needs were served in the highest quality possible. Staff at Southcare could not have been more comforting and reassuring during these times of personal loss and grief. I highly recommend SouthCare Cremation and Funeral Society."

"Being able to assist my aunt by going online to complete ALL of the cremation arrangements was a huge burden lifted during a difficult time. SouthCare has gone above and beyond to make a difficult time easier. When we had a question, being able to call a local number and talk to a friendly, helpful person was refreshing. I recommend SouthCare to everyone!"

-Sharrone Montgomery - Marietta

 

"The user friendly, "hassle free" on-line option proved exceptionally beneficial for our family during our time of sorrow. The care and compassion of the personnel was greatly appreciated, I would highly recommend this facility and this service to anyone experiencing loss."

-Janice Millirons - Stockbridge

 

"We haven't lived in this area very long, but I asked around and SouthCare was recommended to me. Calling for the first time was difficult, maybe because I was by myself, and because I never had to do this before. Right away I was put at ease as all my questions were answered, and the procedure that I thought would be complicated was made simple. Because my husband's death was unexpected, I did not have time to make arrangements ahead of time, but everything still went very smoothly. I was able to complete the paperwork on line and at my leisure. In the meantime, Glen Telfer took good care of my husband. I think what I appreciated the most about Glen is that the communication between us was very good. He promptly returned my calls when I had a question, and also was very attentive to ask and follow my wishes. When I first met Glen, I realized that I was no longer alone, but had someone beside me every step of the way. I am so thankful that SouthCare was there for me at the most difficult time in my life!

-Carol Gorz - Stockbridge

 

"I was able to make arrangements to have my loved one cremated and mailed to me, as I live out of state. It was very easy to arrange for the entire service online, and Mr. Jordan and Robin answered all of my questions."

"South Care handled things perfectly when my dad passed. They did such a good job that my hubby and I arranged pre-need with them and I have recommended them to everyone that I can think of for people to arrange for pre-need. It is certainly the best gift that you could give to your family at time of passing They have everything you could wish for at a cost normal people can afford."

"Members since younger age in 1997! Outstanding Professional and personable service at the death of our elderly mother in 2004! Just recently communicated with Lynn Lopes and again, beyond pleased with the professional and punctual ways of answering my questions and completing my inquiries for total peace and satisfaction Thank you for this Society!!!"

-Dennis Mitchell

 

"My nephew's wife used SouthCare Cremation when her mother passed away and was very pleased the service and price. I wanted to make arrangements in advance for myself, so I decided to use Southcare as well. I found applying online for my choice, Simple Cremation, to be easy and pretty straightforward. I did have a couple of questions, so I called and spoke to Lynn Lopes. Family Service Advisor. Ms.Lopes answered my questions and helped me complete the process. Within that day I had a copy of my contract and a receipt for my payment. I was very pleased with the friendly and professional customer service I received."

-Rebecca Ehrhardt

 

"Understanding, knowledgeable, and thoughtful management made it feel natural to prepare for my eventual passing now, while I am hale and healthy. Very competitive price for what they call "Preneed" arrangements. My loved ones will be even more grateful when the inevitable occurs. Glad to get this done. Thanks, Lynn!"
