  Recently my husband of 33 years passed away due to a stroke, a friend recommended DJ at Ford-Wright Funeral Home. How a person can be ultra professional AND warm and caring like an old friend is beyond my realm of understanding. DJ Wright is the embodiment of this type of special individual. Walking in the front door being greeted by calming therapy dogs and a bright home with no odors I have been accustomed to & dreading when entering a funeral home, it all ready felt like the right place to house my husband. DJ invited myself, my dear friend and my three sons into a room & wanted to know everything possible about my Tom. He asked leading questions that allowed all of us seated at the table to come up with memories, moments and events in Tom's life that we would have never thought of otherwise. He told us how he placed a flag over Tom as he was placed in the car from the hospital because he had all ready asked if he was a Veteran. Taking all the information from us took 3 1/2 hours and in the end we were rewarded with an amazing Celebration of my husbands life. We had a video of about 125 photos playing continuously with many of Tom's favorite songs, books, mementos & album covers set around the room. The Air Force performed Taps and folded the flag and The Vietnam Veterans performed their ceremony. There were posters, cards, and even drink coasters with Tom's smiling face on all of these. Tom was everywhere because it WAS all about my beloved husband. DJ arranged ALL of this. The dogs (on leashes with their handlers) were around to offer comfort for those that get contentment from them. His staff was helpful and right where they were needed, at the door, parking cars & assisting in any way possible. Ford-Wright Funeral Home is the professional, caring place that respects the grieved & the grieving with the utmost attention to every detail to make a dreadful time into an event to be remembered fondly. I had many, many people tell me what a wonderful experience the service was. Who says that about a memorial service?? DJ Wright, thank you from my heart for honoring Tom with your special touch. I will be forever grateful.
