Funeral Homes Near Sumter County, Florida

Where do I start! This June, while vacationing in Florida with my mom, she unexpectedly passed away. Needless to say, my family was in shock and in a location and situation unfamiliar to us. We contacted Kersey Funeral Home close by to where we were visiting. We met the director, Mr Jackson, who guided us through the entire process from securing Mom’s remains from the hospital to her cremation. He listened to our wishes and built a portfolio of services for us based on those wishes. He was very upfront with the costs, which were very reasonable, and never pushed any services on us. He treated us like family and his care and compassion comforted us in knowing that he genuinely cared that our mom’s remains were handled with dignity and good care. With the following weekend running into the holiday weekend, time was of the essence in getting things accomplished. He was detailed in every part of the process , leaving no ambiguity. Mr Jackson and his staff made all necessary contacts and constantly kept us informed with updates. Every contact made with him and his staff was pleasant and warm. He also reminded us to honor our mom’s legacy by telling “Her story” when writing her obituary on the funeral home’s website. This added service that was included at no extra cost, has blessed our family members all over the country to share their memories in word and pictures. I praise God for this connection with Kersey. Mr Jackson and his staff provided the ‘calm in the storm’. Forever grateful, The Winston and Moore Family.

Thanks for the caring and professional advice we have received for my mother’s passing and now the planning of our father’s. Thank you Robert Howie for the professional service and willingness to meet when convenient for our family.

Huge shoutout to Robert, if I could give 10 stars I would. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and funny. He made this entire process easy and quick while answering all of my questions with kindness and patience. I’m very excited to have a place to visit my dad now. The plaque Robert helped me design is gorgeous. I very much look forward to working with him again in the future :)

Very personable

My family and I highly recommend Loyless Funeral Homes. We were blessed to work with Ms. Norma Johnson, the funeral director. Her compassion, professionalism, and kindness made an incredibly difficult time much easier to navigate. She listened to our wishes, was always available and responsive, and treated our family with genuine care and respect. When you're grieving, having someone you can trust to guide you through the process means everything. We are truly grateful for Loyless Funeral Home and for Ms. Johnson, especially the exceptional care she provided. Thank you for making such a difficult experience a little easier.
