Pipkin & Braswell Funeral Home & Cremation

I LOST MY LAST LIVING RELATIVE (MY UNCLE BOB) ON MY FATHERS SIDE OF THE FAMILY IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR. HE LIVED IN COLORADO AND I LIVE IN HAWAII.

WE WERE THE ONLY FAMILY EACH OTHER HAD.



I WAS TRULY DEVASTATED BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I COULD EVEN GET TO COLORADO HAVING JUST BEEN LAID OFF AND BEING A SINGLE PARENT LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.



ALSO, NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO, WHO TO CALL OR EVEN IF HE WOULD BE BURIED PROPERLY I WAS VERY VERY DEPRESSED AND FEELING WORTHLESS THAT I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR MY UNCLE.



LET ME JUST SAY THAT ONCE I WAS PUT IN TOUCH WITH "PIPKIN BRASWELL" I STARTED FEELING THAT THERE WAS ALIGHT AND THE END OF THE TUNNEL.



ALVIN TOOK ME THRU WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE AND KEPT RE-ASSURING ME THAT HE WOULD BE MORE THAN HONORED TO ACCEPT MY UNCLES FLAG ON MY BEHALF AT HIS MILITARY FUNERAL.



HE KEPT IN TOUCH WITH ME VIA E-MAIL AND WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT A FUNERAL DIRECTOR DOES. HE TOOK PICTURES, ACCEPTED THE FLAG AND HAD THE FUNERAL CARDS MADE.



HE THEN MAILED ALL THIS TO ME @ NO EXPENSE TO ME. HE PAID FOR THE PHOTOS, THE MAILING AND THE PRINTING OF THE BROCHURES.



A MILITARY FUNERAL ONLY INCLUDES THE PREPARING OF THE BODY AND DELIVERING IT TO THE CEMETERY.



ALVIN WAS A GOD SEND AND I CAN NEVER EXPRESS WHAT IT MEANT TO ME KNOWING THAT MY UNCLE WAS LAID TO REST WITH DIGNITY.



IF EVER YOU ARE NEED OF FUNERAL SERVICES KNOW THAT "PIPKIN BRASWELL" IS TRULY IN THE BUSINESS OF CARING FOR PEOPLE.



I WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL TO THEM .
