My experience with The Island Funeral Home couldn't have been better. They provided professional help every step of the way. Valarie Mayer was wonderful! She handled all our needs professionally with compassion and dignity. I would not hesitate to recommend The Island Funeral Home to anyone looking for quality funeral service.

Has to be the best funeral in the low country area. They are very compassionate in some of the worst situations. Words cannot explain how well and caring island funeral home is. I would recommend them to anybody that may be going through a lose in life.

My father, Jack Shaheen, passed away suddenly and when we arrived at the funeral home we were in a state of shock and heartbreak. The entire Island Funeral Home staff demonstrated compassion, patience and understanding. They worked with us tirelessly and compassionately to realize our beloved husband's and father's funeral and celebration-of-life ceremony. On behalf of the entire family I would like to thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

From the moment my two boys and I walked through the doors of the Island Funeral Home, we knew that our experience was going to be a very positive one, which is so important when it pertains to such an important and significant life experience. We worked primarily with Valerie Mayer, a Funeral Director who has an amazing combination of expertise and compassion. She made us feel very comfortable while guiding us expertly through the choices we needed to make in preparation for the death of our Wife and Mother which we knew at the time would occur in the not too distant future. I can't tell you how welcomed we felt, not only by Valerie, but by Jeanne and all of the staff with whom we came in contact, every time we walked in to what to us was a warm and gracious and intimate environment, at the Island Funeral Home. The day when our Wife and Mother was welcomed into Heaven, the two dignified gentlemen from the Island Funeral Home arrived promptly, and conducted themselves with absolute professionalism as they performed a most difficult task with class and sensitivity. The day of the Visitation and Celebration of Life arrived, and Valerie and additional staff were present to welcome us, and then our guests. The picture boards they supplied and we had prepared, were displayed prominently and perfectly, and our digital photos scrolled through on a big-screen TV where all who attended could view them easily. The coffin and surrounding flowers looked beautiful, and that feeling of intimacy and welcomeness was eminently present, and felt by all who attended. When the Celebration of our Wife's/Mother's Life was concluded, the staff directed a very smooth transition to the hearse, and quickly and expertly organized the funeral procession. The short journey to the Six Oaks Cemetery also went smoothly, as did the final transportation of her casket to the gravesite. In summary, we were completely and totally happy with EVERY aspect of our experience with The Island Funeral Home and Crematory. The people we interacted with were very kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable, especially Valerie, who we can only describe as stellar. The physical place itself was very warm and comfortable, exactly what our Wife/Mother would have wanted. My boys and I recommend The Island Funeral Home without reservation...I don't know how our sum total experience there could have been any better.

Valerie and staff was very professional during this time. Their comfort of words and handling the memorial services provided the family and friends with peace as they mourned the loss of their loved one. Wonderful service. Thank you.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, my family and I have benefited from the services of The Island Funeral Home & Crematory two times within the past 14 months. The staff could not have been any more kind, supportive and helpful. They made a very difficult time in our lives easier to cope with every step of the way. We were blessed to have had them in our lives at just the right time!

Missy was an unbelievable source of comfort and strength. She made an incredibly difficult time as peaceful and stress free as possible. While it may seem odd to "recommend" a funeral home, the truth is, we all have a point in our lives where we need such services, and truly, our experience with Missy and The Island Funeral Home could not have been better.

Sheri and all at Island Funeral are an incredibly compassionate and responsive group. They guided us through the entire process with genuine warmth, taking care of details and all our needs. We are very grateful for their help during our time of loss. The Dodd Family

I've lived on the Island for 31 years and have turned to this family-owned business to handle funeral arrangements for three family members and have attended many funerals for which they have handled arrangements. Their staff are compassionate, experienced professionals who guide and comfort you during difficult days. I highly recommend them for their personalized, excellent service.
