"All the staff at Brown-Wynn have always been very professional and helpful in every way. My father passed away in May, 2020 and my mother passed away 9 months later in Feb, 2021. Fortunately they both had pre-needs they purchased many years ago which made the process seamless. Mark Blake served as our Funeral Director each time and was great to work with. He walked through each item that was pre-purchased and whether or not we wanted that item and/or if we needed to make changes due to today's availability of the products. This whole process has made my husband and me determine that we need to purchase pre-needs ourselves and we will definitely be doing it with Brown-Wynn Saint Mary's."

"I was so upset and not looking forward to having to go to a funeral home and make arrangements. But after an hour with a very nice man, Mark Blake, I felt so much better. We chatted about all sorts of things and he recommended the most amazing florist. Let me add my cousin's puppy's urn to the site. Everything I wanted to do was no problem they will arrange it. I could not be more grateful. At the gravesite they had everything arranged and nicest young man to guide me through it. So so kind."

"Brown-Wynne Funeral Home on St. Mary's Street provided comfort and professional service as we mourned the loss of our father several years ago, and mother quite recently. The staff members were always thoughtful, respectful, knowledgeable and attentive. Mark Blake in particular was very helpful with all aspects of the arrangements, answering questions and readily making adjustments in response to family members' requests. He ensured that floral arrangements for the viewing and service arrived timely and fresh. On the day of the service everything was well organized and handled with dignity, with several staff members present to help. There was excellent communication between Brown-Wynne Funeral Home and Raleigh Memorial Park for a seamless and beautiful graveside service."

"My father had arranged and paid for cremation in another state ahead of time. The Brown Wynne team treated me as respectfully and promptly and kindly as I assume they would for families arranging for and paying for services directly. I mentioned that I might want to make arrangements for others in my family here and they assured me they would help and, most impressively, have not tried to market services to me. This is a sign, to me, of a very reputable organization and makes me even more confident to use their services in the future."

"Our family is not from North Carolina, but rather Virginia and Maryland. Our daughter/wife unexpectedly died prematurely at REX hospital and we were faced with decisions that were incredibly difficult. Fortunately, we have family from the area and Brown Wynne was recommended to us. Unquestionably , it was an excellent recommendation! The guidance, empathy and professionalism helped us through a very difficult and emotional time."
