Joe and Terry W. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, January 1, 2016
Dear Michael, We just wanted to thank you again for the awesome job you did with our dad's funeral service. You definitely went above and beyond and truly personalized the event with all your special added touches. Your willingness to include our brother in the memorial was very thoughtful and caring. The added feature of the doves was the most moving and amazing experience we have ever witnessed! The inspiring delivery of your word during their flight...there are no words. What a blessed surprise! There was nothing overlooked. We couldn't have been more pleased with anyone else and will definitely recommend you to our friends. We wish you much success in your career!
Gary D. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, December 13, 2016
When my mother passed away this past September, we were truly fortunate to have a connection with R.M. Williams Funeral Service. Michael and his staff immediately stepped in and took over all of the unpleasant, but necessary, tasks. Everything, from the "red tape" with the hospital, the doctors and the state to the viewing, the funeral, the cemetery, and graveside services. They did so with compassion, respect, dignity and transparent professional efficiency. I cannot thank them enough. I would certainly urge others to keep them in mind. They are the best!
Jennifer V. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, December 24, 2016
I want to start by saying I am not a religious person, but I think God had a hand in sending me to you. When Emma passed, I did not know how to function, how to speak or act. All I knew was that my world was ending and I felt like I was sinking in a deep, black hole. I had no idea who to call or what to do. Everyone told me to call around for prices, but when grandma gave me your name, there was a feeling that came over me saying, "this was where I needed to call." There was never any thought in calling anyone else. Mike, I believe that God sent me to you so you could make the unbearable bearable and in a sense, save me and help me during my moment of darkness. I think of you as my light because you went above and beyond any expectations I could have ever had. You were compassionate and it showed in every fashion. You were a man that cried with me, prayed with me, for me, for my family, and for that I can never repay you. You are, and will forever be, considered family and I want to tell you thank you so very much for everything you have done for me and my family. Thank you with much love!
Terri P. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, Jan. 23, 2017
I want to thank R. M. Williams Funeral Service for their service to me and and the family of my husband. Michael and Mandee and their staff are the most caring and compassionate people I have ever dealt with in my life! They go way out, up, and beyond to comfort families in their time of need. It's not just the big things they do, it's also the small things. The time and effort they put in taking care of your beloved family member. I have never experienced this kind of service with anyone in my life. They truly honored my husband and his family with the utmost respect and love I have ever felt ...and not to mention, they didn't break the bank in doing so! I can't thank them enough. They will be getting my service in the future! May God Bless R. M. Williams Funeral Service and his entire staff! You all are truly AMAZING! Thanks again!
Janet N. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, March 24, 2017
Thank you so much for making the funeral services of Robert E. Harrison so special. Many people took the time to speak to me during the viewing about how impressed they were not only with Bobbie’s appearance, but all the other distinct touches that were there. Several specifically mentioned the memorial video and the special throw you had made for us. You covered every detail, and then you covered details that took you out of the box and set you apart from any other funeral home in this area. Thank you again to you and your staff for your excellent service.
Bill, Kay, Deidra L. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, March 28, 2017
Dear Michael and Mandee, We don't know where to start. You are truly called of God to be a funeral director. You were there to help us with a very difficult time in our lives. You are so kind and compassionate and even prayed for us. You went above and beyond for Ottie Van Wiseman's funeral services. We were just in awe when we walked in. All the personalized touches that you provided were truly amazing. There was nothing that was overlooked. If you didn't know Van that well when you walked in, people certainly knew him when they walked out. Michael and Mandee and all the funeral home staff were so kind and caring. Thank you for caring for our family. You are truly the best in the business. You are AMAZING!!! We wish you much success. May God richly bless you and R.M. Williams Funeral Service.
Ted D. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, May 2, 2017
Michael- I wanted to thank you again for putting together such a beautiful service for Jennifer, Abigail, and Connie. The personal touches about each of them was amazing. Right down to their favorite candy! It has been a little over a month since the fire, and coming up on a month since the funeral. I have experienced some really dark days, and sometimes the grief is unbearable. That being said, I can think back to the funeral, and the sheer number of people that came to show how much they loved these three ladies, was overwhelming and heartwarming. That was because of your attention to even the most minute detail. You truly made it a celebration of their lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Karen E. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, February 19, 2018
Mike is absolutely amazing to my sister and I during our loss. We now have a life long friend. Thank you so very much for helping us through this dreadful nightmare. We have not only worked with just anyone, we now have a life long friend. You were amazing! I don't think dad would have wanted it any other way. Your wife and daughter are too, a pleasure to know and you all were so helpful, loving, heartfelt, and genuine. Thanks so much!
Cheryl N. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, March 16, 2018
We feel that Michael went "above and beyond" any expectations that we had. His compassion comes from the heart. Michael's expertise certainly impressed us, as well as the many visitors who came. There simply is not an adequate way to show our deep appreciation to him and his staff
Judy S. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, October 15, 2018
I was very pleased with the personal touches that were made that made it seem more caring and compassionate. I personally think that my daughter looked very nice, considering I was afraid her hair would not look right, but it looked very nice. I so appreciate the time and effort that was put forth. It will never be forgotten
Lena H. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, December 20, 2018
Michael was very helpful. He is very personable, straight-forward, and compassionate. He came to the house to help plan the arrangements. I was so pleased with this. It seemed to be more of a friendship than a business relationship. He is very knowledgeable in the field. The 'home' was very comforting to the family. He helped to get help from other sources to help me with the expenses, the VA and social security. I also am very pleased to know that he opens the facility to the community for celebrations of the seasons i.e. Christmas time photos with Santa at their Santa Stops Here event.
Jackie S. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, Feb. 2, 2019
I was well pleased with everything that was done for my husband. I never saw a funeral home that personalized everything like they did for my husband. It meant so much to me and our 3 children. Even my mother who is 81 years old could not believe how it was personalized to Steve. Words can not say how pleased I was with everything that was done. Thank you so much R.M. Williams Funeral Service.
Lenitta C. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, Feb. 23, 2019
I will certainly be contacting you for services ahead for myself. If someone is looking for a place to make funeral arrangements, I highly recommend R.M. Williams. Great experience

Laura C. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, April 2, 2019
Micheal went absolutely above and beyond for my husbands family! The OSU theme celebration of life in honor of Todd Wilcox was incredible, and something we’ve never seen before. From the blanket, and osu puzzle, to the white doves graveside, we are amazed at it all! Thank you so much again to Micheal for all you’ve done for Brenda, and our family!♥️♥️♥️
Brenda W. about R.M. Williams Funeral Service, April 10, 2019
