This family was very helpful, caring and very considerate during our loss. The facility is very homely and tranquil. Ten stars. Thank you all very very much.

Where to begin, as this is one of the hardest things we've ever been through, ever...When we needed a place to go for cremation services for the unexpected and untimely death of our son/brother in mid-Sept 2022 who lived in Punta Gorda, we knew we wanted to go to Johnson-Taylor as they are local (mom used to live in PG) and they have an outstanding reputation (for good reason!) From states away, as we are both in Ohio now, Eric and his family were very private and understanding of our very delicate situation and all while hurricane Ian was heading their way. He ensured our loved one would be cared for and protected properly through the hurricane and Eric kept in contact with us through the entire situation; we never felt as if we were just any customer or a number. Every conversation was heart felt and we could tell this was their calling! When we were finally able to meet up after the hurricane to get our son's/brother's remains, Eric did not hesitate to spend some time with us even though he had so much more on his plate to tend to. He was very empathic and made us feel cared for, especially giving mom security about it all in our time of need for our complicated situation. We would recommend them to anyone in need there as they are truly there for you! We are forever grateful for their kindness and professionalism and mostly for the caring that they gave whole-heartedly to us~~thank you!

When my mother was placed on Hospice in December 2022, I was shocked, horrified, and grief-stricken beyond words. I tried to be proactive by "making arrangements" before her death. I'd been taking care of Mom for four months, but I didn't know anything about the funeral homes in the area. (I live in Virginia.) Any research I did on cremation and funerals just left me in tears. A friend recommended Johnson-Taylor, and I stumbled in one day without an appointment. Eric Johnson greeted me so warmly that, immediately, I felt at peace. He was soooooo amazing. He was knowledgeable and professional yet still very caring and empathetic. He was the kind of person I would have liked to grab a beer with, had the circumstances been different. Anyway, he walked me through the process of what would happen when Mom passed away, and he promised that he'd be there for me when she died. That part of my brain, at least, was at peace. When Mom died on 4 January, I was hysterical, of course. But I had nothing to do but call Johnson-Taylor, and they handled the rest. They allowed me the space and opportunity to grieve, as opposed to my having to make a million arrangements during those horrible first few days after she died. Eric and Carolyn (husband and wife owners) continued to be attentive and supportive during the entire process. (Mom was cremated.) Whenever I called or had a question, one of them would respond almost immediately. Holy cow. Working with them brought me so much peace. Both of them (and the rest of their family--it's a family business) really really care about the families they help. At first, because I had become jaded by living in this world, I thought their concern was more professional than personal. But, the more I worked with them and got to know them, the more I realized that helping people is their passion. They really care about people and want to help people. I, also, want to help people. I hope we all do. But, holy cow--it takes someone very special to give comfort and care to people who are grieving the deaths of loved ones. I couldn't do it. But, Johnson-Taylor can and does--because they really care. I cannot stress this enough. Anyway, I cannot say enough good things about Johnson-Taylor and the Johnson family. (And not that it matters, but their prices are really good, too--not that I did much comparison shopping--but I felt as if they did not charge nearly enough for the comfort and peace and professionalism they gave me.) Sorry I have rambled on for so long. Again, I cannot say enough good things about this place and these people.

In early May of 2022 our family suddenly lost my eldest brother and we were all in a sudden state of shock and grief. I never thought I would have the task of planning his funeral and I was suddenly put in a role that I was not ready for. With both of my parents completely distraught I did the best I could considering the circumstances which began with me calling several funeral homes to find where his service would be held. My fourth phone call the morning I flew into Florida was to the Johnson-Taylor Funeral Home. Immediately from my initial conversation with Eric, I knew that I had found the right place. Eric & Carolyn made what otherwise was one of the hardest weeks of our families life to date as easy as possible. From the first phone call, throughout the planning, eventually the memorial service, and continuing with follow up help and consideration once I returned home to New Jersey they were nothing short of helpful and kind throughout. I thank God for the grace he provided through them and will always hold them in high esteem in my eyes. Thank you for all you have done for our family! With best regards, Raymond Tricoche
