Testimonials

We cannot say enough about Lofland Funeral Home and Bill Carpenter. When we needed someone to walk us through the final arrangements of my husband, Bill was such a wonderful person. He made us feel as though every last detail would be taken care of, and of course it was. Thank you so much for helping our family through such a difficult time.

All I'd like to say is what an awesome job that Bill & Mrs Carpenter did for my wife Robin & our family & much appreciated! They are very caring folks & make you feel like you're part of the family. Thank y'all very much for everything

Thank you for everything that you did for my mom and us...we truly appreciate you💕

Lofland Funeral home has handled five of our families funerals. Bill and his staff are very kind, caring and compassionate and personal. He always made sure that all aspects of funeral arrangements were completed as quickly as could be and with the upmost professionalism. He and is staff are their to help and answer any question you may have. A truly exceptional Funeral Home to go to in your need.

I can only say that Bill Carpenter is God's gift to people burying a loved one.

The passing of a loved one is never easy but especially one whom was never able to take a breath in this life. When our grandson was stillborn we made several phone calls to find loving and devoted staff to help our children through this difficult process and Bill was the answer. He answered my questions and our children’s questions with love, ease, and devotion to their needs and requests.
Thank you for helping our family through a difficult time in our lives.

When someone so very dear to you passes away it is a very difficult time. Bill and Connie made my family and I very comfortable and at ease. Bill sat with us and helped us plan a memorable day for my Husband's funeral. It was a sad day but Bill did an excellent job with planning from start to finish. He was right there when we had a questions. My Husband, Jan, loved the Southwest. With pictures of Jan and ones that my Son Jonathan had taken, Bill did a fantastic job of the video shown at the funeral. I was impressed. My family and I thank both Connie and Bill for all they did. I have a good memory of my Husband's funeral even if it was a sad day.

The family of Owen Owen wishes to extend sincere thanks to Bill and Connie Carpenter and the Staff of Lofland Funeral Home for their outstanding support, care, and professionalism following the loss of Owen. Your kindness and compassion were very comforting to us during this difficult time.

My husband died peacefully but unexpectedly in our home. I was in no way prepared for the question, " Who do you want to call ...". My brother-in- law reminded me that Lofland's had handled services for Mike's sister. The decision was made and I met Bill Carpenter an hour or so after my husband died. He was the epitome of kindness and was so professional, it never seemed odd to have met that way. (Weeks later I thought of how much grace that requires.) Somehow, he led me through some very difficult questions and he sensed from the first moment we met that, however unprepared I was, I had some very definite ideas of what I would want for Mike. He knew from the beginning that I would need to be very involved in planning a unique tribute. He answered all of the questions I had about placement at the Veteran's Cemetery, which was very important to Mike. He met with Mike's sister and I the following day and I left with complete confidence that, even in the midst of all of my confusion, he knew what I wanted for my husband and "he had it". He helped me understand the scope of the services they offered and respected the things I wanted to do myself. He and Connie answered my questions ( probably some of them more than once) patiently and kindly in the days ahead. When the services came, Mr. Carpenter and his associate Chuck Ivins seemed to come out of nowhere just when I needed to answer a question, to be respectful of a time line, or to have something taken out of my hands. I rarely offer testimonials, but I pray I never have to go through this again. I can't offer loyalty or repeat business. I can say that professionalism, kindness and compassion will never matter more than they do in a time of loss. The decision to call Lofland's Funeral Home for my husband's service was the best one I could have possibly made. I am grateful that Mr. Carpenter and his associates were the ones to walk me through a very difficult time and I can recommend without reservation that you allow Lofland's to do the same for you and your family.

When we met Bill to discuss funeral arrangements for my Father I was immediately impressed by his kindness, patience and attentiveness. Bill and his staff never let us down. They were always friendly, courteous and available to answer our questions and provide unsolicited help. Lastly, when my Father was interred at Arlington National Cemetery Bill and his staff were there to provide assistance. I highly recommend Lofland for your funeral arrangements. All the best Bill to you and your staff. Thanks again for taking such great care of us at a very difficult time.

I was very pleased that everything went well for my mother MARY B. WILKERSON and i appreciate all that Bill and Connie did thank you all so much.
