I took out prepaid policies with Myrtle Beach Funeral Home in 2011, but just recently dealt with the owner of Myrtle Beach Funeral Home, Mr. Jim Bowdre; after the sudden passing of my mother. I would like to state that Mr. Bowdre stood by the original cost of the policy, although there was a clause that the cost may increase with time. Mr. Bowdre was beyond gracious, sympathetic and cooperative. I could not have expected more. The policy including transportation to where my mom will be buried in Long Island, New York and some issue arose due to necessary medical procedures and arrangements with the New York cemetery. Mr. Jim Bowdre went so far out of his way to relieve me of making dozens of necessary phone calls, arranging for a specific casket and taking care of every detail short of booking my flight. In addition to all this, Mr. Bowdre allowed me to hold a memorial service at Myrtle Beach Funeral Home right after my mom’s passing. He spent more than adequate time with me. Mr. Jim Bowdre is without a doubt, the most sincere and kindhearted gentleman you can hope to meet, especially during such a sad time as an unexpected death.

We took the Traditional Burial Package with a casket upgrade. We initially chose Myrtle Beach Funeral Home because we wanted a funeral home near the Ocean Woods Cemetery, where our loved one would be buried, because we would have the service at the funeral home. Our only concern was that the funeral home had lower prices than others in the area, and we were thus a little concerned about the quality. Quality is not so relevant to many service aspects (they either retrieve the loved one from the hospital or they don't; they either take the flowers to the cemetery or they don't). We were concerned with such things as cosmetics (how presentable would our loved one appear in an open casket to his 9-year-old daughter?) and whether the funeral service would be set up, directed and assisted in a dignified way (privacy, atmosphere, music, arrangement of flowers, pallbearer organization, etc). The funeral home's transparency and our interaction with them from Germany before flying to S.C. convinced us that we could trust them. After arriving we learned that Jim Bowdre is not only a conscientious and talented professional -- he is also simply a great person. In the same way that many companies, departments or teams tend to reflect the personality and values of its leader, so does the personnel at the funeral home. We were very impressed with all 3 other employees we interacted with. After being stuck at the Atlanta airport due to ice, having to postpone the funeral and then having to quickly make many of the arrangements after finally arriving, Jim and his team were all very helpful in assisting us with organization and in making our terribly sad occasion one that was also positive and memorable. Thanks so much Jim and team! --David and Eva Roe

What an amazing help they have been to my family. Having all of my brothers family in the North and him passing on in the South, trying to coordinate things was trying. They went above and beyond to help me. Wonderful, wonderful people. Thank you!
