Letters of Appreciation
Our family wish to thank you so much for your help We appreciate your kindness,
Best regards
Strangely, when I drive by your chapel now, I look over and lovingly think of Mom. The feeling is similar to that when you drive by that last home where your folks used to live. It’s a cheerful feeling. And it’s due to you. Thank You!
Your heartfelt guidance and sincere expressions of sympathy to each of us is genuinely appreciated. The extra measures of assistance you and your staff provided for us all is prized and will not be soon forgotten. I am amazed at your patience with us as we stumbled along, seemingly in a fog, at times. You valued our grief and, without judgement, allowed us to express it in our own ways and on our own schedule. Yes, Mom would have enjoyed meeting you...and she would have liked you, too.
The two words, "Thank You", do not impart all the warm emotions I feel as I recall the myriad of things you and your staff did for my family in our time of distress. You would have had to know my mom to fully understand why I think of you as family, now. She always tried to make our pathways smooth ones. It seems as though you were in lock-step with her these past two weeks, always thinking of others, instead of yourself, just as she did.
On behalf of the entire family, I want to thank you and everyone at Cain Funeral Home for the caring and professional manner in which you handled the services and burial for our mother. It was a very difficult situation for us and we are still struggling in dealing with her loss, but you and your staff did an exemplary job in working with us through this tough time. For that we are truly grateful and very appreciative of how much you and your staff care. If I can ever be on any help to you, please don’t hesitate to give me a call. Thanks again!
On behalf of our family I would like to thank you for your sympathetic, professionalism during this painful process.
Thank you very much for your help in this most difficult time.
On behalf of our family we wish to thank you for your professional services during our difficult time. We appreciate your kind and thoughtful service. We look forward to a lasting friendship.
Thank you for everything you did for our family. Love & Prayers. "May the God of Hope fill you with all Joy…"
Again thank you for your kindness in all you’ve done for our family. I hope we do not need your services in the future, but if we do we will definitely call you again. "Grace is God reaching down, Faith is man reaching up!"
I wanted to thank you for all that you did for our family during this very stressful time. Your kindness and attention to detail really helped us and I am very grateful. Kind regards.
Your concern made it much easier.
I want to thank you very much for your professionalism and efforts on behalf of all our family. Kind regards!
Thank you for setting up a beautiful service. Sincerely!
Though not the most pleasant of meetings, I wish to express my personal appreciation for all your assistance with my mother’s funeral. You are most consoling while helping with the arrangements. All that was promised occurred. In addition, I was moved by your daughter’s health situation. Please know that we wish the very best for her; miracles do happen!
Again, many thanks!
Just wanted to thank you for your kindness, all my children wanted to thank you also. you are so kind, I really appreciated that.
We are all deeply grateful-job well done!!
Thanks again for all you did, everything went just the way dad would have wanted. I must tell you that I went to another funeral today and one of your competitors was in charge and you all are head and shoulders above them.
Thanks again!
Thank you for your kind assistance with the service of my mother.
It seems impossible to thank you enough for all of the care and compassion you showed our family. Sincerely!
I am thankful for all you do and I am thinking of you and your sweet daughter. Please let me know if I can do anything else besides prayers for both of you. God’s mysteries of life has a purpose that maybe is only revealed later on in his kingdom.
Thank you so much for your professionalism and kindness in regards to providing services for my brother, my family and me. Please find payment by check enclosed. Thanks again, it was a pleasure dealing with you regarding my mother’s passing.
Thank you all very much for the great work you did in all the preparation of the funeral for my father. It is very much appreciated. We were very pleased and we enjoyed talking with you.
Thank you so much for your services at a difficult time. And yes we will contact you when the family chooses to have a marker placed at the cemetery.
On behalf of our family we extend to you our sincere appreciation for your sympathy, kindness, and professionalism during the loss of our mother. Losing her was hard but knowing her last wishes were carried out with such perfection, style and grace comforted us all. Mom did a good thing for her family by pre-planning her arrangements, down to the last detail, and by planning them with you. We know everything was done her way.
Mr. Stephens, you and your colleagues not only handled the arrangements flawlessly, you added so many extra touches to make the day seamless and comforting. Your attention to detail was appreciated. We are all so thankful you were there for us all. May
God bless you!
Thank you for your kindness and guidance as I made arrangements for my mother. You helped to make a sad time a little less traumatic. God bless and keep you!
At a time when our family needed support, you were there. Your sympathy and thoughtfulness will always be remembered with deep appreciation. Thank ya’ll for your assistance with my grandfather’s funeral. You are very compassionate and it shows.
Sincerely!
Once again my thanks and compliments. I chuckle every time I think we are related by marriage. The south ROCKS! Thanks!!
Just a quick note to let you know again how much I appreciate all your hard work and organization. I don’t think during what was such a difficult time for all of us, we could have had anyone take better care of us and my mother. You were such a great help in "prodding" my father through the process which would have taken me so much more effort and energy than I had. Thank you again for everything. This card is a picture of Lake George. The water sprinkled on my mother’s casket came from here so I thought you might enjoy seeing how beautiful it is. Thanks again!
My wife and I really appreciate your expertise, professionalism and responsiveness during our family’s troubled time.
Thank you for taking care of my mother with her eternal rest. You did a great job. Have a wonderful holiday and prosperous New Year.
Many thanks again to you and your staff for the excellent service you rendered to our family at a most difficult time. Your caring and compassion are greatly appreciated by all. Sincerely!
"Thank You" is a simple phrase, but still it’s meant to show that we appreciate your kindness more than you could know. Sincerely!
I want to say "thanks" for helping our family last week during the passing of my mother. You were very helpful to my dad as well as to the family. We greatly appreciate your efforts. Thanks!
Thanks so much for working so diligently and thoughtfully with me and my family to help the funeral services for my grandson become a pleasant memory instead of a sore spot on already broken hearts. We have received numerous compliments on the grateful and respectful manner and tone of the viewing and service. Everyone was so nice to put up with "Aggravating Annie". God bless you and yours, My prayers will continue on your daughter’s behalf.
My wife and I both want to thank you for all you did for us and "TATER". You handled everything with dignity and respect.
Thank you very much for all your attention and help in this most difficult time. All the best!!
I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for my family and thanks for doing the paperwork for me. Sincerely!

Thank you all so much for all your help with my mother’s funeral.

You were so good to us when we came to you in our grief. You have the gift of creating a warm and comfortable space for people to sit in when they are hurting. I was very impressed that you were able to get us into the family car. It must have been like herding cats. I thank you and your staff from the bottom of my heart for helping us through this difficult time with such warmth, friendliness, humor, compassion and efficiency. Best wishes!!!

Your special ways and generous heart make a beautiful difference. Thank you so much. Bill thank you so much for your understanding and kindness and for your generosity which was not expected but much appreciated. Again, I pray that you will know how much I am my family appreciate all you did and that God will bless you richly for your blessing to us during this very painful time.
I just wanted to insert a personal note and tell you how grateful we feel for the outpouring of affection and concern for us during dad’s recent passing. We are confident that he is in heaven, and for this we celebrate his passing. I know we will all have our low moments, but we Do know that Dad is both peaceful and joyful now. Thank you Bill! I will always know I sat on the "front row" with my daddy.
For being so kind and caring. My thanks to you is larger than this card could possibly express. The special caring action and courtesies expressed by you made this seem to be an experience of shared friendship and concern. I know this will certainly influence my actions to others experiencing such sudden losses. You taught me much about consideration and caring courtesy.
More than I can say, I so appreciate the thoughtful way in which you handled my husband’s preparation for burial. You respected me and didn’t try to sell me anything and I appreciate that. This was a funeral for a simple man and his family. He would be very pleased. Now he is with his late wife and son to rest in peace. I would always recommend you and your staff.
I will never forget your kindness. Thank you so much for such wonderful service. Your caliber of excellence was beyond my expectations. Everything was flawless from beginning to end. My family and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I will certainly recommend you to my family and friends.
Our paths have crossed several times in the past year, both for the arranging of my parents funeral services. And although they have "business" transactions, I must tell you I feel you are more a friend than anything else. You once made a difficult time so easy and effortless for all of the family. Everything for Mom was just beautiful and I know she would have been very happy with her celebration.
There are times in your life where you meet people who have an impact and everlasting effect on you and I have to admit when I met you it was one of those times. You are perfectly suited to your profession and are so genuine with your caring and tenderness at such difficult times in people’s lives, but you make it a very spiritual situation and for what I will be forever grateful.
Thank you Bill for all that you have done over the past year to make both my Mom and Dad’s passing a beautiful experience for the entire family. I wish you much success in your future endeavors. I know you will continue to be a premier funeral service provider for years to come.
