"Eric did an exemplary job explaining everything, taking one step at a time. He kept me posted when I asked where my husband was prior to cremation. He was gentle and understanding with my kids who had just experienced the sudden passing of their dad. I asked for a quiet classy service and that's what I got."

"It is always difficult to lose a love one. It will be a great relief if we can see our love one leaves us with a good funeral arrangement. Overall experience with Whitehurst was very good. It is not supper easy to serve a family that just suffer from a big lost because everyone in the family would be very sensitive at the moment. But Whitehurst did very well, I think it must due to its long term of business experience."

"Eric made this process easy which was exactly what I needed after the passing of my father. He organized getting a priest, military personnel for the service and helped me order flowers for the service. We waited as long as we could for the service so my uncle, who was in the hospital, could attend. Eric said it was not a problem and even though we did not have a wake, my uncle was able to pay his respects before the hurst left Fresno for the cemetery. I wanted to keep my promise to myself of having my uncle pay his respects in person to his last living brother and Whitehurst helped make that happen."

"The entire staff was very compassionate and helpful in guiding me through the process of making the arrangements without making me feel pressured. My family used Whitehurst Sullivan Burns & Blair Funeral Home in 2004 for my fathers services. The experience was identical in 2004, which is why I immediately knew that I wanted to use Whitehurst Sullivan Burns & Blair Funeral Home for my mothers services."

"Eric was great at arranging everything. Appreciated the flowers for the Paul Bearers. Only thing that I forgot was to get more clarity on where and when the Paul Bearers were to be used. I should have thought about that more and discussed with Eric."

"Don, the Funeral Director, professionally navigated working with 3 different principles, two of which were out of state or out of town. Keeping all informed of changes and updates, while meeting all our needs. He was creative in making a covid era service all it could be and making it personal within the mandated guidelines. We all left that moment feelings we had properly honored my dear brother. We have a large family and have used Whitehurst Sullivan Burns & Blair many times, but each time is unique and individual. Don's assistance is priceless."

"The staff was absolutely phenomenal at guiding me but also allowing my heart to be in the service and giving me what I felt was most important. They never made me feel like what I was asking for was burdening and definitely went out of the way to make my desires for my grandpas service come true. I loved that the staff took part in the service. Beyond the service being more than amazing. The two gentlemen that came to get my grandpa from our home after he passed we're two of the most kind, whole hearted people. They made the most horrible thing that has happened to me a little lighter. I had terrible anxiety about anyone take my grandpas body after his passing and they made me feel so at ease never rushed me and even comforted me. I am so over protective, and a little overbearing so allowing anyone to take my grandpas body and keep him until the funeral was so hard but I had such a peace when mike and frank came, they made me feel more comfortable, and never rushed me and told me to take my time, placed him in the van honorably and even drove away honorable. That was the most priceless piece from this experience. I could not have asked for more caring individuals. Losing my grandpa is literally the most heart breaking, most difficult thing I have every experienced. Whitehurst and everyone involved made the horrible situation a little more bearable. Thank you Eric, and Whitehurst staff for making me feel giving me comfort at such a difficult time and making everything so beautiful. A funeral is the last thing you can do for a loved one, and choosing Whitehurst was by far the best. There are not enough words for my appreciation."

"I cannot not properly express in words how WONDERFUL my family's interaction and experience was with Director Eric Charlson and the entire staff at Whitehurst Sullivan Burns & Blair Funeral Home! My family didn't feel any pressure to purchase additional services or products that were offered nor were there any hidden fees. We were not treated as if this was just another business transaction and the overall presentation was very detailed!! We honestly felt this funeral home lived up to its motto of dignity that they actually cared about my father as person even though he passed. This made it so much easier to deal with the devastation of losing a loved one. From the moment I first called and spoke with secretary Sallie asking if she could arrange a special appointment for a director to meet with my family since we were coming from out of town, to the greeting we received from the staff and the director was amazing! We would highly recommend Director Eric Charlson and the entire staff at Whitehurst Sullivan Burns & Blair Funeral Home! A BIG Thank you and God Bless to you all from the Zaragoza Family"
