Thank you for visiting our website.
Greer-McElveen is family owned and operated by Jim and Tony McElveen. Our funeral home staff provides quality, professional and most of all personal funeral, cremation and preneed services to honor the life of your loved one.
This funeral home doesn't have a virtual option. In this pandemic, you would think they would, for the one's of us that are unwilling to come to the service, because of the chance of dying from getting this virus, or unable to come because of health issues. Even offering to pay for the streaming or to pay for even getting it recorded, they said they don't do it. This is my sister's funeral and I'm sure she would say, brother, don't take the chance, keep my face forever in your mind, don't take the chance of getting something and possibly dying from it. Hopefully this funeral home realizes soon that virtual needs to be a option even when it is not a pandemic, for the people that would love to be there but can't because of health issues or the worry about being in close proximity with others.

We had a viewing today on May 6, 2020 for a relative of mine that passed very sudden and left the family devastated. When we first drove into the parking lot we wondered if we were at the wrong place since the parking lot was being repaved and the whole front parking lot was under construction. We realized we were at the right place and had to park in the back and went in from behind the building. We were told to wait outside in the front since covid19 only allowed 10 people in at a time which there were only 7 people in the building. I mentioned the fumes were unbearable from the work on the parking lot and we could not wait in the front. The assistant was very rude and replied “well we had to re-pave the parking lot.” I replied that the timing was very unprofessional and not fair to the people paying for the time. He did not re-direct us or try to help with our concerns at all. Then when another person complained and got very upset about the construction the parking lot the assistant then called the police and 4 cops showed up to settle the argument. Unbelievable that this kind of conduct and customer service is acceptable with people that are mourning and should be consoled. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone. I could not believe their attitude and treatment. Why would you order construction on the same day and time that someone has paid for their loved ones viewing.
