The presentation of my loved one (urn) truly was exceptional and will be remembered. Jessica Paisley is and was a very special blessing in our lives as she went above and beyond her duties to help us during this time. All staff at Given-Dawson-Paisley Funeral Home were just fantastic! I don't remember his name, but the young man who handled the removal of my loved one's body was profound and is an amazing part of your team. I will be sure to recommend this special business to everyone I come across!

I am very thankful for GDP. Jessica made a nightmare process that I was dreading to deal with into an extremely relaxed, organized event. I live in Minnesota, not Ohio, and all of the issues to deal with seemed just overwhelming. I am so thankful for all that Jessica did down to the smallest touch - like photos from the grave site. Thank you Jessica.

Jessica Paisley was wonderful during such a painful time. I highly recommend her and her funeral home for your family's needs. Jessica truly went above and beyond, pricing is reasonable and the compassion and attention to detail is unmatched. My mother in law fell in love with their stained glass windows which is more the chapel instead of viewing area but she arranged everything so my mother in law could have her viewing held there, small detail to some but that truly meant a lot. Thank you for the dignity you give families and their loved ones.

Our family was very satisfied with the service at Given Dawson when my father passed away. Jessica answered all of our questions and was professional yet sympathetic in our time of need.

I can not thank Jessica enough for her professionalism. My brother and I had never planned a funeral before, and she took us through the process step by step. Every phone call was returned in a timely manner with a friendly voice and an answer. Jessica and staff went above and beyond their necessary requirements.

The family at Given-Dawson are exceptional. They walked us through every step and accommodated all of our needs. My dad never wanted to be viewed while laying in a casket. So on the day of the services, we placed his motorcycle in the spot where the casket would have sat. It was a true honor to my dad.

My mother, Charlotte Henderson, passed away on April 5th, 2021. My family was going to use Given Dawson-Paisley Funeral Home for my mother's services. We notified Given Dawson-Paisley of her imminent passing a week prior and then called them on April 5th. My sister spoke with Jessica, the funeral home manager and partner, that day a hour after she passed at 1230pm. Jessica gave us instructions that a sister funeral home will be picking my mother up in Stow and then she will be transported to them in Coshocton when possible. The local family came to say their goodbyes and my mother was picked up at 2:30 pm. Jessica reported my mother's death to WTNS, the local radio station, at 3pm and it was announced at 4pm to Coshocton listeners of her passing and that Given Dawson was assisting in arrangements. My mother was a teacher at River View High School for 30 years and also lived in West Lafayette for 43 years. This news became a topic on Facebook for many people wanting to pay their respects. My extended family were not given the opportunity to hear of her passing before the town did. When I called Given Dawson-Paisley to confront them of announcing her death to WTNS, Jessica said it was "protocol of the funeral home" to let the radio station know. This was something they did to "help" the family. I felt completely the opposite when hearing of this since it was not told to us when the first call was made of her imminent death. I immediately felt my mother and family's privacy was violated during an extremely fragile time of grieving and the shock of her death. After calling around town to other funeral homes, this was not their "protocol" and were APPALLED to hear my story. I had my mother transported that day to another local funeral home and when I called to tell Jessica, I had to leave a message initially since no one answered. The other funeral home came to pick up my mother's body up. Jessica was surprised because a hour had passed and she was not aware of my voicemail I left. She was rude and short with me on the phone when addressing my concern for lack of privacy and why I was moving my mother's body to another funeral home. This is not how a grieving family member should be spoken to on the phone. I was also very surprised by this behavior growing up in West Lafayette and attending Sacred Heart Church as a child with the Given family. This funeral home also does not have a crematorium on site so it is approx 2 weeks before you can safely have a service with them to ensure the remains will be there during the service. I do not recommend this funeral home and suggest you go to any other one in town.
