About Kays-Ponger & Uselton Funeral Homes & Cremation Services

Kays-Ponger & Uselton Funeral Homes & Cremation Services is part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in the country, which is worth knowing as some families prefer locally or independently owned providers. They offer a full range of services including cremation, burial, and celebration of life arrangements, and reviewers note they identify as cremation specialists; the location also appears to operate a pet loss division called Pet Passings. With 113 Google reviews and a 4.7-star rating, customers consistently highlight compassionate and attentive staff, clear communication throughout the process, and thoughtful celebration of life services. One notable concern in the reviews involves the pet cremation side of the business, where at least one family reported a significant error with a paw print keepsake and felt their complaint was dismissed, so families using that service may want to ask detailed questions upfront.
