Shafer Funeral Home - Lufkin, Texas

Denise B.

I wanted to give a personal shout out to you, Ty Shafer, owner of Shafer Funeral Home for the handling of my Uncle Johnny Mack Ward’s recent visitation, funeral service, luncheon & burial. Thank you for a job well done in regards to the recent handling of my uncle Johnny Mack Ward’s visitation, funeral service, luncheon and military burial,

We are further deeply grateful for your exceptional kindness during this difficult time. Your staff, especially Stephanie, Kayla and her husband, were especially supportive and helpful through out this entire process from beginning to end.

THANK YOU for allowing the personal touches we wanted incorporated into Johnny’s brochure, songs, pictures, visitation, service, luncheon and burial which were truly meaningful to our family and which you allowed us to carry out.

I really do not feel like everyone truly understands what all goes into a beautiful funeral service from beginning to end. You and your staff went ABOVE and BEYOND in personally greeting and assisting me during the last two and a half weeks in my over twenty or more visits there. (That does not include the texts to you and your staff, and the many phone calls, etc, I mean I could go on….)

Oh, I MUST mention that you and your staff moved and rearranged most all of your furniture in almost every room of your facility to accommodate my visions of the perfect visitation, service , luncheon and burial that we wanted for Johnny. AND IT WAS ALL PERFECT.

Additionally, accommodating my requests for a different format for the brochure, additional photographs and songs for the picture reel and the bringing in of pine tree branches, magnolia branches and many other personal items for use by our decorator. Thereafter, you and your staff even boxed them all up and delivered everything to us.

Thanks for being my LONG time friend♥️
(I know I’m still being talked about by everyone there😳 but that’s okay).My uncle Johnny would not have wanted me to act normal during this time. I am proud to carry the Ward name, the crazy Denise nicknames 😀and I’m sure a few choice others…

Again, THANK YOU and your staff for a job well done.

With the unexpected passing of our Mom, Shafer couldn’t have been a better choice. 100/10 service, help, professionalism, respectful, informative and caring. From the initial meeting, the service and to the pick up of her Urn. While needing their services wasn’t expected, I couldn’t be more thankful for them. Specifically want to mention Ty and David, yall are amazing people!

I have dealt with Victor Mills on a few services in the past. He is excellent at what he does, very attentive and caring. Shafer’s Funeral Home is very accommodating and have great staff.

Thank you Shafer Funeral Home! Losing a parent is not an easy task, however I have felt nothing but genuine care since my first phone call. David, Victor, and Ty have (almost literally) held my hand through everything. Shafer has taken the upmost care of our family. From Ty handing out water and tissues, to Victor taking texts and calls to answer all my questions. You’ve all made a huge impact on this moment of sorrow and I am forever grateful.

Thank you for taking such good care of my grandmothers family. The Patrick Harris family had nothing but good things to say about their experience with your staff and the services you provided to them. The moment they walked in the door they all felt well taken care of and comfortable. Thank you for serving my family well.

The staff was so helpful and patient. Karla was very comforting. When you’re going through such a difficult time and unable to clearly understand each step, she gave us some peace with her knowledge of the process. Great Service and a kind staff!

My brothers and I, along with the rest of our families, were very pleased with the service we received from Shafer for our mother's funeral earlier today. They treated us like she was their own. I cannot recommend these folks enough. Thank you Ty, Dusty, Oscar, Victor, Melinda, and everyone else at Shafer for honoring our mother and making the entire process as painless and bearable as possible. I'm not looking forward to another funeral, but if I have anything to say about it, it will be at Shafer.

Cannot recommend Shafer enough! Ty, Stephanie, Victor and the rest of the staff are just amazing! They are with you every step of the way. The attention to detail they provide is top notch. The service was beautiful! We are forever grateful for the excellent care the Shafer family provided during our time of loss/grief.
