Funeral Homes near Fort Smith, AR

“Planning my mother’s funeral was one of the most difficult things I’ve had to do in my life. My dad and I didn’t know where to start, didn’t know what questions to ask, a lot of unknowns while processing the emotions that come with the passing of my mother.

Mr. Veasly and Mrs. Rose provided a huge amount of support, guidance, empathy, and concern for our family and commitment to providing a honorable service for our mother. They were diligent, proactive, and professional throughout the whole process.

I highly recommend Rowell-Parish Mortuary and their staff. Our family had a pleasant experience and my mother’s wake and funeral was beautiful.

Thank you to the staff of Rowell-Parish!”

“There really aren’t enough kind words to write about Ocker Funeral Home Inc(Van Buren). The staff is amazing, and each of them are kind, considerate and friendly. The facilities are warming, and it is truly a beautiful, and special place. It really is a beautiful and special place.
- The *Funeral Director* Evan Ocker, is second to none. An absolute professional in a very difficult business who will treat you and your loved ones in a manner that you not only demand and want for these occasions, but he will exceed any and all standards and shatter those expectations in every faucet of the process. He’s truly the definition of an ultimate Professional. I can’t say enough good things about him and his staff as well. They were more than patient with whatever bevy of questions asked, while still managing to be kind, and respectful. Any and all personal wishes(within reason of course) are heard and taken care of without hesitation, or difficulty. They take and treat each family with the upmost respect and honor your loved ones regardless of what those wishes were, and may be to ensure you and your family have as positive of experience as possible in what can be difficult times for many. They will listen to any/all requests and wishes, and will do whatever to make sure that they make that happen while maintaining a professionalism that every business should strive for.
I would personally like to say “Thank You” to this amazing group of people who made such an unexpected and heartbreaking time in our families lives that much easier. I would recommend them to any, and everyone that ever asks.”
