We know who the true “gem” is at Emerald Hills Funeral Home: it is Brenda Weiss, Family Service Counselor. Brenda is highly skilled at her job; she presented us with all the necessary information as well as various options. She than wisely discerned exactly what we wanted and needed. She was kind and compassionate and worked very hard with and for us personally. Brenda has a good heart. We were given a tour of the grounds and memorial park and were impressed by the care and maintenance shown thru-out. Total satisfaction was the ultimate outcome; everything exceeded our expectations including the value for cost which was an important factor. We feel at peace with our final decision. These pre-planned funeral arrangements will ease the burden on our family at the time of our deaths.
Please know that we will give high praise to Emerald Hills, and Brenda in particular, when our friends and family express a need for such services. We gladly give our permission to reproduce this letter of recommendation in print form or on-line for the marketing of Emerald Hills Funeral Home.

Sincerely and with heartfelt gratitude to Brenda,
Judy and Denis Bonifert

The family of Elaine Lee wants to thank Chris and the staff at Emerald Hills for the kindness, compassion and care shown to us during this difficult time. We appreciate all the effort and the care shown to make Mom look beautiful. Alzheimer's may have taken her dignity, but you gave it back to her. God has given you a difficult job, but He is using you to bring comfort and closure to families. Thank you again.

I want to commend Chris Jones and Emerald Hills for the beautifully prepared service and burial for my husband, Chief Deputy Wayne Rhodes on Tuesday, Dec 8, 2020. It was a Line of Duty death and Chris had to coordinate with multiple police organizations as well as me to ensure a seamless and flawless service and transport from Denton to Kennedale and it turned out perfect. I could not have been more pleased and I am not an easy person to please with my attention to detail, but Chris was spot on every detail. And very attentive. He was also comforting too and you can truly tell this is a ministry and a calling for him.

I want to thank you for helping make my Father's service absolutely beautiful. Jason, you thought of every last detail with the gun salute, the military flag, the tent and the endless amount of personal phone calls on and off the clock checking on my mother and myself. Your incredible amount of patience and understanding for our family was with God's grace and I am forever grateful.

Our initial selection was based mainly on location, appearance, and the peaceful surroundings. Later we came to appreciate the professionalism of the staff and the consistent maintenance of the grounds. I appreciated the staff willingness to work with me to get through all the insurance company red tape.

A big thank you to all of the staff who took us under their angel wings. Stress and sorrow for the lost of my husband and children's dad was acknowledged by real people with real feelings. The beauty of it was that they guided us through the process, took their time to talk to us about all the options with no pressure and gave us the "last word" ! Above all, they were open mind for what we wanted the most: A great celebration in honor of Michel. All the work behind the scene was done with professionalism (picture, video, cards etc... Thank you and God bless you all!
