“Thank you for conducting the service with the utmost dignity and sensitivity. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the kind, compassionate, and honest service and attention we received.”
“John and Debbie Young provide more than just a funeral service. They are an important and caring part of the Bath County community. They went above and beyond to make sure my mom’s arrangements were carried out in the manner she wanted.”
“The Youngs made the funeral planning so smooth and as stress-free as possible. Debbie helped so much with getting the paperwork to social security, the veteran’s administration, and the insurance company. What has brought me the most comfort is the memorial candle with my husband’s picture. I burn the candle all the time. It was such a surprise to receive it. Then, the unexpected book that I received from different organizations in the county in my husband’s memory was so thoughtful. Great job, Debbie and John. Bath County is blessed to have you!!
