I couldn’t be more pleased with the service and friendly staff at Thompson Funeral Home. Julie was very knowledgeable and friendly. She guided me through the process of making the funeral arrangements for my Father. She took her time, never rushing me to make an decision, and not only answered all my questions, but made sure I understood all the steps involved in the process. Her kindness and compassion warmed my heart, which made my time of sadness, a little lighter knowing I was in her caring hands. I would highly recommend Thompson Funeral Home for all your funeral and burial needs.

My family and I would like to send a heartfelt thanks to everyone at Thompson Funeral Home at Greenlawn and Thompson Funeral Home at Lexington for taking such good care of my mom, Sharron Miles, after she passed. The Thompson staff were attentive, responsive, efficient and loving. From their front desk staff, Carolyn, Shirley and Kendra; to Ms. Renata who made mom's hair look fabulous; to the funeral directors, Tom, Brittany and Greg; to the ambassadors Jim, Tim, and Jean; and the talented memorial product creators Sandy and Ruthanne. They made this difficult time as easy as possible for me. I can't thank them enough.
