"Brent Perry the funeral director went out of his way to make sure that all details were handled in a very timely manner. Unique personalized service he provided specifically was to make sure that part of my uncle's ashes were send to the deceased's daughters in California."

"When you loose a loved one it's the hardest thing you ever have to experience Hardage-Giddens Funeral Home made that horrific time much easier. Picking out everything in a private room & they listen to detail's. My husband's Funeral was beautifully done and they picked the perfect pastor since our's wasn't available. I had so my compliment's and many people said not to sound weird but that was the best Funeral I've ever attended. Thank you Hardage-Giddens."

"I woke up at 4am to a very unwelcome phone call, only to find out that I was alone in the House and had to make all of the decisions with regard to the arrangement of my deceased relative on the spur of the moment. In near panic and frustrated, I reached out to Hardage-Giddens after finding them online and was almost immediate set at ease by the person who answered the phone. This only increased as I continued my interactions. Even if it wasn't planned ahead of time, and if I was the only one to actually interact with the funeral home in any capacity, the entire family was eased by the final result and I myself consider them... well, 'lifesavers'.."

"We worked with Brent Perry and Scott at Hardage-Giddens in Mandarin to preplan my mother's cemetery arrangements. When my mom passed only a couple of months later, everything went smoothly, including the transfer for out-of-town burial (even with the pandemic and a threatening storm). Everyone was compassionate, helpful, and professional, making a difficult process easier."

"The whole team at Hardage Giddens and Greenlawn cemetery (Laurie) were incredible. Everyone was so compassionate and understanding in July 2007 when my father passed and present when my mother passed in New York on April 17th 2020. (not from Covid 19). David was wonderful when we had to review my mother's paperwork. Brent Perry was truly a God send since I needed to have my mother's body flown to Florida, and Florida was not allowing New Yorker's to enter during this pandemic unless we quarantined for 14 days which was not possible. Brent made all the arrangements with a N.Y. funeral home for her initial preparations. Brent reassured me that my mother would stay in their personal care area until we were able to set the date for her graveside service on July 27th, 2020. I could go on and on..... In closing, they went above and beyond. I am so grateful to everyone at Hardage-Giddens and Greenlawn for their kindness, professionalism, and compassion during this extremely difficult time for me and my family. God Bless them!!"

"Personable, caring, professional. I had to transport mom to home town cemetery. All the arrangements were made, I was kept abreast of the timeline & transport, hometown associated funeral home and the burial. It was unfortunate that the Covid pandemic prevented a service at the gravesite. But the continual communication & caring manner was extremely appreciated. Many thanks!"
