Jewell-Rittman performed the service for my dad in January 2025 & they were so very kind, compassionate and professional & really helped us get through this extraordinarily difficult time. I can't say enough good things about them, they were so helpful and answered and responded to our many questions. All of the staff were great & helpful and especially in particular Heeth who guided us & helped us thru the major components. Sincere thank you.

There couldn’t have been more dedication, care, compassion or professionalism provided if we wanted. Trust all our loved ones with them. Received our “angel” ornament from the annual dedication. Jewell Rittman continues to go above and beyond in all aspects.

my family and I have used Jewell-Rittman for several family members as they seem to really care about each person in their time of need. This time is difficult for anyone and during this time the family needs a good listening ear. They did not try to push any extra services. Very prefessional. I would recommend Jewell-Rittman

We are so pleased with the service and care that we received from Jewell Rittman after the passing of my mother. Matt was excellent in his role and paid great attention to detail. There was absolutely no pressure, and he was very open to whatever we requested.

Over the years many of my family members and friends have been honored by the services provided by Jewell-Rittman. There isn’t any other place I would entrust to provide the services they do. Nick, Heeth, and Vernon are some of the most kind and caring people I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Along with their staff they try to provide every wish and detail as best as they can. In any families time of need this is the only place I would recommend anyone go.

My family was very pleased with the planning and support services provided Jewell-Rittman employee, Mathew Ratliff. He was professional, experienced and friendly. This made a difficult experience easier. My family chose a Celebration of Life service at our church. Due to Mat's experience, he was able to offer helpful advice and support that led to a good outcome. I would recommend Jewell-Rittman to other families.

My husband and I did our pre-planning with Nick Rittman 3 years ago. Nick was so kind and professional. Our situation is a bit different as we are both retired from the Air Force and will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery. Nick handled every everything with expertise to the last detail. We left our appointment 100% happy with our choice to have Jewell-Rittman Funeral Home handle our final plans.

Throughout the pre-arrangements to the Memorial service itself for our mother, the kind, professional, and effective staff at Jewell-Rittman very favorably impressed our family. We truly felt the heart of this business! Thank you, Vernon, John & all who helped us lay our mother to rest with grace.

When my mom passed away Jewell-Rittman was there to help with the entire process. They were so kind when they came to our home to take her body. They left a beautiful note and flower. During the planning Nick Rittnan was so professional and kind. He let us take as long as we needed to make our choices. They made sure everything was easy and was upfront on all of the costs. The funeral was very well done and they made the memorial for my mom special. They were wonderful.
