“I just want to thank everyone at Restland Funeral Home, Crematory services and the Restland Event Center for all the support, professionalism, great service you provided to me and my beloved husband, Jack Ray Garrett, who passed away unexpectedly January, 19, 2026. Jessie Puga did an awesome job as our funeral director. She was there with us every step of the way. She helped me with the arrangements for the celebration of life, the music choices, the slideshow, the program, the venue, getting the video arranged. She was so patient with me when I made changes. She excelled at her job, went above and beyond! I couldn’t be more satisfied! Thanks so much!!! The cremation specialist, Kelly, was so thoughtful and made special accommodations when snow/ice delayed our viewing before cremation. They were booked up for rescheduling but she made it happen! She arranged the time and found a place to give us the time/space so we would not miss out on our last goodbye. She was so kind and caring and I know she treated my Jack Bear with the utmost respect. She did a stellar job! On top of that she filled urn jewelry for me twice! With such care! Thanks again Kelly!! I was having a very difficult time finding a place for the celebration of life. My church and others would not allow a Saturday and that’s the day I needed. It was such a relief to find out about the Event Center right across the street from the Funeral Home. They were the greatest option I could ever have hoped to find! The catering was excellent. The facility was perfect! We had our slideshow, recording was available which we did. Mina and Rachel among others helped during the entire day. They helped provide tables, extra easels and anything we needed to prepare the room to display pictures and memorabilia. They allowed us to bring extra food, too. The Slideshow was great. The Music awesome. Food was delicious. Thanks again to all that helped! I would definitely recommend Restland to anyone in need of services. I sincerely will never forget you all! Linda Garett. ”

“We would like to begin by expressing our sincere gratitude to the entire Restland staff who supported our family in planning and during the service. We are especially thankful for the “angel on earth” that is Jas’Nique Van Auwelaer, whose care and compassion meant so much to us during such a difficult time. Receiving the devastating news of my youngest brother’s passing in Dallas, Texas was overwhelming. With most of our family located in Michigan, the thought of traveling and coordinating arrangements from afar felt daunting. Thankfully, a close family friend referred us to Restland. From our very first call, we knew we were in good hands. The Restland team arranged an on-site meeting and patiently walked us through every detail, guiding us through a process that was entirely new to us. We had the privilege of working with Jas’Nique Van Auwelaer, Funeral Director, who took the time to carefully explain all of our options with empathy, kindness, and genuine understanding. Jas’Nique is truly exceptional—compassionate, thoughtful, and deeply caring. Jas’Nique, along with James (whose last name we unfortunately did not catch), supported us not only in the planning but also throughout the service itself. Their grace, attentiveness, and kindness made us feel truly cared for, and they were always there to provide anything we needed. Thank you to everyone at Restland for helping us honor and say goodbye to our brother with such dignity and care. ”

“I want to thank Mike Day and Alicia Burnstein for their kindness, attention to detail, and most importantly, their follow-through of each aspect of the arrangements, as we finalized my husband, Jerry's final resting place. Working with Mike and Alicia, I felt heard! Both were knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate as we went through each decision. This journey would have been even harder were it not for caring people like Mike and Alicia. Because of their efforts, coming to RESTLAND is a comfort. Thank you to RESTLAND, and to Mike and Alicia for the peace you brought to me and to my family.”

“Our experience with Restland's staff has always been top-notch. My parents had taken care of many things pre-need, but when my Mom passed we still had decisions to make. George Powell was our director and he did such a fantastic job. From the initial meeting, choosing flowers, program and such, to the final step of burial, working with George was a pleasure. He is professional, compassionate, patient and kind. As he worked with us, he began to see our vision for who my Mom was, and truly executed everything flawlessly. On the day of the funeral, George and his assistants worked together to make everything run smoothly. I was the first person to go in the chapel and view my Mom. George stood with me and supported me, through my tears, as I had my personal moment of goodbye. He knows the business well. You can count on him to walk you through every step of the way. ”

“What an excellent experience from start to finish. Mr Mike Tisdale started our journey with Restland with my father and I sitting down and planning. Ms Alanna Navin was excellent in her assistance and guidance after my father had passed. She was able to answer all of my questions thoroughly and quickly. They both made the experience an excellent one; one that will bring fond memories of my father and the funeral he deserved. I recommend highly Restland for your families needs. Thank you Mike and Alanna. You are awesome!”

“Addison Barnum/Family Service Advisor at Restland Funeral Home in Dallas Tx is excellent to work with. Mr. Barnum is very detailed in researching all aspects of our needs. We were able to find exactly what we were looking for due to his extensive research. We are currently working on (2) sets of family needs and Mr. Barnum is able to give us all information needed in a very timely manner. I appreciate having top notch customer service. Restland Funeral Home is very respectful of the family in all areas. The Restland Funeral Home grounds are beautiful, and the Mausoleums are well kept, clean and also beautiful. Thank you again Addison for such a positive experience during this emotionally stressful time.”
