My mother passed unexpectedly at home in January 2026. After the formality of first responders arriving and assessing the situation, a funeral home had to be called.
Both sides of my family have used Johnson Funeral Home for over 65 years with each generational passing. So, who was I going to utilize? Johnson Funeral Home, of course.
They were contacted late that Wednesday night around 11:00 pm or maybe later. Chad Thomas, the funeral director, and an assistant were there at the house promptly. They were courteous and patient with me as I was unprepared for the people and event that was happening before me.
After Momma was declared expired and responders were packing their gear, offering their condolences and leaving, Chad and his assistant began to prepare Momma for the trip to the funeral home. They were careful and respectful with handling her. Chad and I talked about a time to meet for funeral preps. We set 2:00pm as it was already Thursday.
Upon arrival at the funeral home, I was greeted by staff members and ushered to a meeting room. Chad was courteous, patient and professional with the offerings that Johnson Funeral Home had for funerals, explaining the procedures and costs. He is truly an asset to Johnson as well as the others.
We had Momma's graveside service on Friday afternoon as planned. The staff did a marvelous job setting the grave site up for service. Everyone complimented how nice the service was and how accommodating the funeral home staff is.
This is why I kept the tradition of utilizing Johnson Funeral Home for Momma's funeral service. They were utilized before I was born and during my lifetime, and they will be utilized after I'm gone.
Thank you, Chad, Jennifer, and all of the staff that was a part of my mother's body prep, funeral and burial. I know Carolyn B. Vick was in the best of care.

All staff were very helpful and friendly. I like the help that was offered for what to do once someone dies. (Example: Social Security, Banking, etc.)

Chad and Jennifer were amazing for my family final planning for my loved one. They were very understanding and answered all our questions for the planning of my sister final wishes. Chad was always there for me for every thing I needed and provided me with all my answers. During this difficult time of grief knowing the unknown of cremation.made this time very comfortable for me and my family. From the beginning he was very patient and understanding in the whole process to the last day of receiving my loved one. I asked Chad to help me with the sentimental necklaces of their mother and he never once hesitated to help me. Chad was right by our side the whole step of the way to the last day of the setting of comfort and peace. My family would recommend Johnson furneal home for all your loved ones final planning.

Reviewing a funeral home seems a little strange, but when I needed to choose one, reviews were really helpful and led me to select Johnson Funeral Home. Everything I read about Chad is true. He is professional, compassionate, and always available. He listened to final wishes and let me know of additional options that may not have been considered. He did anything he could to make the process go smoothly from beginning to end.

Johnson Funeral Home served my husband’s family after the untimely death of his father over 20 years ago. Last month, we returned to NC to bury his mother. Johnson Funeral Home was absolutely wonderful in every way during a very difficult time. Joseph Coleman was kind and gracious. Rocky Mount is lucky to have such a wonderful place available to them during their most challenging moments. We felt like family to them and will always be grateful for that.
