Max and staff, I just wanted to thank you and all your employees for making this journey of life I’ve been on the last year a little easier. I never had any idea how difficult this would be. The day I found Cecil was such a sad day in my life, Veronica was so kind and soft spoken that day and the next day when Justin and I made arrangements Max you were right with us and knew the kind of casket we would need. All of this has gone so smooth only because of you and the wonderful people you have working for you.

It makes me sad that we have to wait for a funeral to see everyone again. You are blessed with the job you have and you do an awesome job. My longing forever is getting stronger as I have so many loved ones there. I wish you the very best in your future and hope we will always stay in touch.

Max and staff, Last week I saw the “hearse“ drive up and jokingly, I told George “they’re coming to get one of us!” The beautiful picture book and Doyle’s obituary was such a surprise! I would never have expected such a wonderful gift! Words cannot express the thanks I feel in my heart for you! Your thoughtfulness and kindest ways, is what set you apart from all the other funeral homes! You made Doyle’s passing a lot easier for me and my family! Doyle was very proud to call you (Max) a friend! By the way; George and I finally got the flag up at the cemetery! Looks beautiful! I need to come in and see about getting the military marker and place it at Doyle’s feet! It has been a year now since he’s been gone and I’m still not making much headway with all the things I need to do! Thank you again

I could not have asked for better care and service upon the passing of my mother. I was able to make some pre-arrangements which took a great deal of pressure off at the actual time. Our service was a little different from others probably and Max went above and beyond to make it all happen the way we desired. All very professional but above all things, kind and caring.

I choose this funeral home out of 4 others I had spoken with because of Veronica's voice. The calmness and her way of speaking to me about my biggest loss I've ever experienced made me feel at ease. Max has a great staff behind him they all go above and beyond they answered all our questions, even if they were repetitive. I felt safe with them taking care of my dad and us as well in these trying times were in. Veronica and Natalie are superstars at Max Slaytons these ladies are kind and caring thank you for all your acommadations and really just being there for me . I would most definitely recommend Max Slayton anyday. Thank you again to Max and his entire staff.

Dear Max Slayton, I wanted to say thank you the honest and caring way you handle your business. Dad’s service was wonderful and he truly loved and cared about you and your success. Dad truly believed this was your calling to give comfort and guidance to those during this time and a way to share your Christianity with others. Everyone I speak with in Terrell always have the utmost respect and regard for what you do and how you perform it so well. You work so hard to make sure each service is as special as the family wants and you and your staff handle it all with just a little feedback from the family on what they desire to happen. Thank you again for putting your heart and soul into what you do and making a difference in people’s lives. Sincerely Kirk Lane
