Congo Review My family and I would like to send a special and heartfelt thank you to Valerie, Nate, and the staff and ownership of Congo Funeral Home for making our loved ones celebration of life such a beautiful and heartwarming experience. While death is inevitable, a family can never truly prepare for the mental, physical, and financial challenges to come during a period of grieving. Our family could not have selected a better funeral home to care for our loved one. Valerie, our funeral coordinator, was nothing short of amazing from the time our loved one was placed in the care of Congo Funeral Home to the completion of the funeral services. Valerie was responsible for assisting my family with the selection of services that would provide my family comfort that our loved one was being sent home in the most beautiful way possible. Valerie went far above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. From her responsiveness to questions to her genuine care and sympathy for our loved ones passing, she made the experience special and immersed herself as part of the family to ensure everything was perfect and in the best interest of our family. Valerie had so much pride in her role and practiced a great deal of patience as the family had to navigate many challenges during a difficult time. She coordinated with so many people to make sure our funeral services were perfect and nothing short of what we requested. She was excellent at execution and our family truly felt the hard work and commitment she had to making the experience unforgettable. We highly recommend Valerie to anyone in need of funeral service arrangements. Her knowledge and commitment to excellence is top in class. Job well done! Nate, another member of the Congo Funeral Home, played a significant role the day of the funeral services. We met Nate the first day our family arrived at Congo Funeral Home where he welcomed us with open arms and personally delivered and opened water bottles for each of our family members. On the day of the funeral service, Nate did a fantastic job leading the funeral procession and ensuring the safe arrival of all parties to the burial grounds and back to the repast. Nate was committed to serving our family. He ensured everyone had a plate to eat and that trash was collected at every table. My family offered Nate a plate to eat but instead of taking a break he proceeded with servicing the family. He ensured comforting music was being played and assisted the family with the technology available to play a slide show of our loved one during the repast event. Further, there were elderly members of our family in attendance which Nate cared for personally by assisting them to and from the table and to the restroom. Nate interacted with everyone, happily assisted with taking pictures, and catered to the family. He was extremely professional and a pleasure to have as part of our funeral services. To Congo Funeral Home, we deeply thank you for making this celebration of life something special. The preparation of our loved one was amazing and we are truly happy we selected your care. Sincerely, Michelle Bowe

Congo truly is a Funeral Service Company that makes you and your family feel like family. I had the pleasure of working with Valerie, Candice, Sonny, and Zoe. Valerie handled the financial and paperwork portion of the process. She was attentive, empathetic, and thorough/detail-oriented. Candice is a sweet and beautiful soul that is always around to make these hard times a little less hard. She prayed for our family, gave words of encouragement, and kept us up to the minute about everything that was happening and about to happen. Sonny and Zoe are the gentleman that drove our family to the burial from the service. They made our family feel safe and secured. They walked us to and from the service and burial. Sonny is a protective, devoted, and comforting spirit. Zoe is a warm-hearted and consoling man that also prayed for our family and gave words of encouragement. All in all, Congo Funeral Services has made each of our funeral experiences less complicated. We as a family felt heard, understood, and had our wishes respected and honored in every way. Our loved ones have been treated with such care and attention to detail. Our family plans to ALWAYS work with Congo for our loved ones. Thank you Congo!

Baine Family - I had no classes with Josh, but we were both members of the 1960 Conrad graduating class. I did not know him but knew him by sight. His obituary told the story of a man who had a great life and did his best. I wish I had known him in adulthood. My sympathy goes to his many family members, especially his children. I know you will have wonderful memories of him next to the hole in your heart. He would not want you to grieve forever, so do good things in his name. Sympathetically, Ginny Quigley Craig

On August 16, my sweet mother Savannah E,Lewis- Landrum known to many in Wilmington as Mrs, Essie M, Lewis- Fisher. Mother was a life long friend of the founders of Congo Funeral Home. Being such, they were the one and only choice for us to call when she passed on. They have always given top notch and respectful services to those whom rely on them. They treated us with such dignity and respect.. Those that received mother's remains gave to her the upmost respect. Praying with the family before taking her away. Comforting us throughout the process. Their wonderful staff patiently guided and assisted us. I don’t know how I can put into words every thing they did for us. From start to finish they were with us. They made sure that mother looked absolutely beautiful with the materials we provided. She looked like a sleeping beauty. Such professionalism and empathy given to us. The one and only Funeral home service that we know will give you the best Professional services. From The entire Fisher-Lewis Family...We thank you all for treating us and mother like family. May God continue to bless you all.

I would like to Thank the entire Congo Family. Because I was truly treated like family. My first time having to make decisions to bury a love one. I felt at ease. Everything was put forward to my family and I with no hidden fees. I received every days calls to make sure my family and I were ok and if changes needed to be made. Dates and times for services are fit to your family needs.. I will always be grateful to the Congo Family and looking to work with them in the near future. May God Bless you all.

Sometimes you forget to thank the people who make your life simpler in many ways. Sometimes you forget to tell them how much you really do appreciate them for being an important part of our life. Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It brings peace for the day, makes sense of the past and creates a vision for tomorrow. Although death changes everything, time changes nothing. We still miss the sound of his voice, his wisdom and advice, the stories of his life and just being in his presence. So no, time changes nothing and we still miss him as much today as we did the day he passed away. So we would just like to thank the Congo Funeral Home Staff for their support, professionalism and for just being there for us at our time of need Thank you

Me and my family recently had Congo Funeral Home handle the service for my mom. The service provided was unbelievable. I'am from New York and never have I experience such outstanding and Professional care and support from Congo and its staff. The Family Advocate/Funeral Attendant we had was Ms. Doris Moore. I told my Grandson how great she was and he said no Nana, she went above and beyond. Thank you Ms. Moore. All the sand at the bottom of the sea can not say or express how pleased me and my family was for the outstanding service given to us from Congo. Thank you so much Congo family and staff God Bless you all. To all out there the way to go is Congo. P.S. WE NEED YOU GUYS IN NEW YORK

Our family recently enlisted The Congo Funeral Home to handle the service and care of our loved one. I would not have gone to to anyone else but The Congo family. The special care and the professional manner of the Congo staff is beyond words, which is so needed at such a sad and confused time in a family's life. I will be forever grateful for the compassion shown to our family.
