Testimonials

We wanted to say thank you for the great job that you did on Marlys' funeral. We were very pleased with every detail that you all utilized. It was a good and proper send-off. Thank you for that.

We wanted to say thank you again for bringing our son Robert home to us today. The picture and poem were so incredibly thoughtful and very generous. Thank you for taking care of our boy and making this an easier process through everything. You are all so caring and compassionate and it helps tremendously in these situations. Thank you.

Mcelyea and Owens was my mothers preferred funeral home as she knew one of the owners in college. She passed on a weekend, and they were there promptly and treated my family and myself with the upmost respect and kindness. My father passed away 4 days later, so I decided to use their services again, and again, they treated myself, my family, and my father with the upmost respect and kindness. They have been beyond wonderful through this terrible experience, and they have made it a simple and quick as possible while still providing support and kind words. I cannot express how grateful I am to have chose them.

Service is first class. I can guarantee that in your time if need that Mike will provide the best for your family. We’ve used other places and Mike and his team provided the best service. You aren’t just another number, he cares and you feel that care. He provided an amazing service for my sister and family. The price is amazing and the service is even better.

Grateful for having Mike and Amberlyn guide myself and family through this difficult time. Respectful, Dedicated, Caring. Thank you for all that you do.

Words can’t express how much I still appreciate what you (Mike, Robert, Amberlyn) did for us. For my mom. Above and beyond kind. Never were you pushy. Yet, so willing to handle any requests to the best anyone could do. Not once did we feel pressured or pushed to grieve a certain way, make arrangements we weren’t comfortable with. You helped us/me more than you know with the complete process and in our hour of need. Thank you so very much. It’s nice to know who to call in advance, next time, although I hope it’s a long time from now. Blessings to each of you and your business.

Dear Mike & Robert,
Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. You have been with us every step of the way. You have both made our difficult journey manageable and pleasant.
Warm regards always,

Gentlemen
Thank you for the great care you took of our dad, Cecil. We appreciate your professionalism, but also your sincere kindness. "One cousin said the family visitation was very relaxed and just casual enough to enjoy family but pay respects as well. We wish you well in your business, and in your ministry to families,

Ken and Cheryl, John and Debbie, Marcy and David.

At Gaskell-Owens Funeral Home downtown I knew Robert and his dad were great, well respected gentlemen. I met Mike there, as well, prior to the funeral home being sold. Each of the gentleman are still the caring compassionate individuals I remember from a short 20 years ago.
I recommend Mcelyea and Owens for your funeral, cremation memorial needs. I believe they will take great care of you and your loved ones.

Mike
Thank you so much for taking great care of my mother.

At Immanuel Baptist Church in Norman, we have had several Funeral Services under the direction of Michael McElyea. He always provides a beautiful service with a "Family First" mentality. I recommend McElyea and Owens as they put families first always and custom each service to your wishes.
