Kris and Amy genuinely care about what they do. They helped our family so very much with the passing of our mother. Quality people performing at such an elevated level.
Kris and Reeder-Davis were a huge help during a very difficult time. They were compassionate, patient and determined to make our funeral arrangements as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I would recommend them to anyone needing a caring and understanding presence.
Making my Mom’s arrangements was one of the hardest things to do. But, Kris, Amy and the rest of the staff were amazing through it all.
I could not have asked for a better group of people to help me during this very rough time.
They are exceptional !!!

Easy to deal with even in the hardest of times
A very well kept establishment as well as very kind people. They make you feel welcome, cared for, and like you have a family outside of family.
The staff here becomes family. They are incredibly supportive and make sure everything is perfect! There is no better place!
When my 52 year old younger sister passed away we couldn't have fathomed the grief her 15 year old would be going through. She wanted to be involved in her mom's service planning Reeder-Davis employees were very patient and listened to her every wish. For that I am most grateful. Thank you for the services you provide our small community...we are blessed to have you as part of our town.
The best in the area!
Friendly and patient. Very professional & the expenses were reasonable. I recommend their services.

I would like to give BIG shout out to Reeder-Davis they did a wonderful job of putting my grandma Miss Nellie Ruth Owens away they did a fantastic job and the staff is up tier I really can’t thank y’all enough
Very kind and compassionate people.
Years ago my parents made the decision that when their time came they wanted Reeder Davis to handle their burial services, So as hard as it is to lose your parents their time to go did come and when it did, We relied on Reeder Davis to help our family through the arrangements that needed to be made and all I can say is their commitment, compassion and their understanding made such a difficult process much easier. Our funeral director Amy, from our first meeting to our last was so kind, She shared in our laughter of funny memories and she shared in our tears seeing our grief. My sister suddenly passed away a month after my dad and again, Kris and Amy were there to help us and we were so grateful. Kris, Thank you for the care you gave to us and for being so kind and thoughtful. I will never forget everything that all of you did for my family .
Reeder handled my father in laws services and did it with so much compassion. We were at a loss with what to do first and Amy was amazing at guiding us. They treated us just like family and we will always be grateful for that.
For such as sad occasion we could not have asked for any better. The facilities were great, the staff very caring. Everyone did everything possible to make this the best experience possible. Even the slideshow had a personal touch that was initiated by the staff. I am so very grateful for the care and services we received.

Kind, caring folks that truly understand the grief you bear, and help you move forward in what is a difficult situation that we all have or will experience.
They took excellent care of both my mother and father. My wife and I have already prearranged our funerals with them. They are the best.

From the time they picked up my wife from the hospital and then through the entire process and even today, they have remained friendly, courteous, and most helpful with all our needs. Working with our insurance, planning the service, providing helpful suggestions, and taking care of tiny details we had not thought Reeder-Davis Funeral Home was wonderful, and Mary was so professional, one of the best. Their care made our loss a little easier to bear. Thank you so much, James Bynum & Family
I just want to thank the staff at Reeder Davis for handling my mothers’s final arrangements beautifully. Kris was extremely compassionate and helpful throughout this untimely and unexpected event. Everything was flawless and exactly how my mother would have wanted her final wishes carried out. Planning a funeral is never easy but it definitely helps when your loved one is in the care of caring and professional hands. Thank you 🙏 Shawna
I have seen personally, the Reeder Davis Family treats your loved ones with as much love and respect as you would. What more could we ask? Thank you RD for your devotion to making the worst days easier.
Reeder Davis Funeral Home is the best Resting place to be from the the secretary to the one who are in charge they make sure that everything meets your needs when you walk into those doors believe me you will not come out with a sad face. Reeder Davis Funeral Home is the best.
Reeder-Davis is the most caring place I can imagine in a time of need. The staff is second-to-none!
These people are the greatest. They have always made me feel like family. Thank y'all for being so wonderful. God bless y'all
I have never had a bad experience at RD, from making programs for our church or giving advice in whatever way they can.
The McKinney, The McCain, & The Hill Families would like to sincerely thank the staff at Reeder Davis in Hughes Springs for the excellent services they provided to us in the death of our Mama, Dorothy McKinney. Mary went above & beyond in helping us to prepare our Mama for visitation. Amy helped us in each & every need that we had. You could not ask for a kinder man at the cemetery than Wayne. To each person that helped, we appreciate ALL that you did... Thank you, again!
It has the most comfortable feel about it. Everyone treats you like you are family and have so much compassion and empathy . I love Amy & Kris and all of the others also.
Reeder-Davis Funeral Home, Inc. in Linden and Chris were there for me and my family when Keith passed away. Chris is so caring and thoughtful and was able to help me make it through the entire process of caring for Keith and my family until the final burial. He made the journey of death so much easier by his respect for our needs and his compassion for our pain and sorrow. I have known his staff for a long time and they also helped lighten our sorrow by their outpouring of love and compassion. Reeder-Davis also took care of my precious mom when she passed away three years after Keith. I still hug Chris and thank him whenever I can for helping me through losing loved ones.
Very nice service. We were well satisfied.
Outstanding, professional staff and beautiful facilities!!
They took excellent care of both my mother and father. My wife and I have already prearranged our funerals with them. They are the best.

Reeder Davis funeral home took care of all of our needs and concerns during our saddest time. The staff is very caring and professional. I would highly recommend this facility during your time if need.

Myrtle you are now with God in heaven and your husband I dearly called preacher. Will miss you and loved you coconut cream pie. You family are in my prayers.
My deepest condolences to your family. Losing a loved one is never easy. As you continue in life keep the wonderful words found at Revelations 21:4 with you and hold dear the thought found in Isaiah 25:8. No, I can not bring your loved one back but I hope that the comfort in knowing that God not only wants to but will is encouraging in itself. – Acts 24:15. Again, I am deeply sorry for your loss.Sincerely,Ashley Worley
What a Wonderful LifeThinking of Myrtle brings a smile to my face. Tears come as I prepare food to feed the family. Thinking of her brings many smiles to many faces to those who loved her. She could make you laugh. The honest truth, she could frustrate you at times.I take humble pride in being the one she would call to "work on her tv remote" "or some little something would be wrong with the phone" She made me feel so special because she thought of me that way. I would go right away and she what she needed, and was so glad to "try" to fix it for her. No matter which one, you dearly loved her. And, she would laugh with you with any situation. She had nick names of Ma Myrt, Myrtle the Turtle, many more.We'll miss her peach cobbler at Lilley's Chapel. Many, many people will be reflecting on her delicious pecan and coconut pies. She was so generous to bake those pies for many. And, loved everyone. She made everyone feel that she loved them the most. That's a rare gift. Oh, how she will be missed. But, those with the hope of heaven know that we will see her again some day. Know that she will be with her beloved late husband LR, Leroy, Dude as many called him. Myrtle thank you for your love. Thank you for sharing your life with many.
My condolences. May the Almighty give comfort and peace in this difficult time.
