Lowther is an amazing place. They are very comforting to the families. They cremated my mother and father with the upmost dignity and caring. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of services.

I’m gonna miss seeing Cliff motoring thru the neighborhood on his scooter. Cliff was the first person to welcome me to the neighborhood. If he saw you outside he would always stop for a chat. I’m gonna miss seeing you rolling around the bend. Rest in peace, Kind Sir.

Grampy…I know months have gone by now…but today I received your ashes. I am so sorry my last visit was the last time I could hug you. I am sorry for not getting to Florida before you left. You have always been there for me. You always had love for me. From watching me get ready for prom to meeting my three babies. I probably carry your blood and your legacy will live on in all of your grandchildren and great grandchildren. You served this country with honor. You served your community humbly. You are loved and you were missed. Please give Grammy the biggest hug for me. I hope you guys are drinking coffee and playing cards.
