Ashley made everything so easy for my family. My father wanted a Veteran's service & they had packages that were already put together. Ashley brought everything to his house and my father pre paid for his funeral last year. Honestly I'm happy she helped him. He passed away a few weeks ago & it really helped take the pressure and stress off our family. Chris the director coordinated everything with National Cemetery & VFW. This funeral home also helped with our mother's passing several years ago. I really appreciate their help and totally recommend this company.

Let me reflect for a minute. When you first get married you talk about a lot of things. When you get older that focus seems to turn to death and burial...yeah, good times.... In planning for this you want someone professional enough to handle all the nuances but sensitive enough to understand the needs of their clients. Ashley is a true professional. It didn't matter what the question was she would always respond. Whether it was at the office or over email she would always get back to us IMMEDIATELY.
If you need funeral planning I certainly would go seek out Ashley. She is fantastic.

Ashley answered so many of our questions. My husband and I are in our late 60's and 70 and wanted to make our funeral arrangements in advance of illness, memory issues or a life unlike the wonderful one we are living at this time. I did not want to go to the funeral home so she came to our home. She shared lots of good information and planning guides. Like preparing wills, this is a process I had not looked forward to but Ashley made it easy, quick and it is now completed. Hopefully this will also makes things much easier for my children who live in Colorado and New Mexico.
Thank you Ashley for your expertise and graciousness. It is most appreciated.

Five stars is not enough for Ashley and Allen Harden Funeral Home. My husband and I who are still in our early 60's decided it was time for preplanning to be done. We had no clue if we would be sad, emotional, or how we would feel doing this meeting while we're still very healthy. Ashley couldn't have put us more at ease. During the process she thoroughly explained everything and answered all our questions. We had just come from across the street purchasing our plots so it was an interesting day to say the least. As Ashley listened to our wishes and gave some suggestions it turned out to be a rather easy and somewhat relief to just get it done. Ashley was so warm and personable you felt like you were talking to a friend. The facility itself doesn't have the dark, dismal, or deep sad feeling some funeral homes have. It's actually very calming and pretty inside. I highly recommend them!

Tips on Writing a Message of Condolence

You may not know exactly what you want to say in your Book of Memories™ condolence message. In fact, this may be the first time you've ever been faced with sharing your feelings or offering comforting words to someone who is grieving a loss. Whether it's the first time, or the fifth, we're here to offer some assistance. We've compiled some tips, and brought together a list of expressive words you can use in your condolences.

Tip #1: Be sincere. It's important to mean what you say, on the deepest emotional level. Yes, we know, "saying what you mean" can be harder - that's why we're here.

Tip #2: Keep it simple. You don't need to say much more than "I'm sorry for you loss," yet it's always wonderful to share a personal memory of their loved one, if you have one.

Tip #3: Don't tell them you know how they feel. Because you can't really know; even if you've endured the loss of a loved one in the past - your grief was yours, and this is theirs.

Tip #4: Share how you felt when you heard the news. Perhaps you were shocked, disbelieving, or deeply saddened. Let them know how the passing affected you personally.

Tip #5: Share Remind them that you will always hold the memory of their loved one close to you. It will be a comfort to them to know that their loved one will be remembered.

A Short List of Appropriate Phrases:

  • Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
  • Please accept my condolences on the loss of your partner.
  • With deepest sympathy for your loss.
  • Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
  • Please know our loving thoughts embrace you each and every day.
  • Thinking of you in these difficult times and sending you love.
  • With heartfelt condolences.
  • Wishing you comfort at this sorrowful time.
  • Sharing in your sorrow, thinking of you and wishing I could be there
  • to hold your hand.
  • May the love of those around you, help you through the days ahead.
  • Hold tight to memories for comfort.
  • Lean on your friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about.
  • As you comprehend this profound loss, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens.
  • Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
  • Peace, prayers and blessings.
  • Words cannot even begin to express our sorrow.
  • You are in our prayers.

However you choose to express your concern and pay tribute, please know this: it will be deeply appreciated.
