To all the Larry Hollar family, Larry was a friend of mine for many years. It saddened me to hear of his passing, also sad that my health would not allow me to attend his funeral. God's peace be with you all.

I'm a 30 year old that lost my mother recently. I chose to work with Bennett's because I had seen them care for my aunt and uncle. I live a county over and passed several funeral homes because I wanted to utilize their services. I am very glad I did. The team was very easy to work with during a difficult time. The Newton facility is immaculate and the staff is well polished. I highly recommend them.

January 1, 2019, early morning, a phone call came from my mother's nursing home facility telling me that she had just passed away. That is not the way I wanted the year 2019 to begin. However, from the moment that Mr. Miller came to pick up my mother's body to the graveside service on January 6, 2019, I could not have asked for more understanding, kind, and compassionate people at Bennetts. I want to commend the staff of Bennett Funeral Services for handling the funeral of my mother, Mary S. Roseman, in such a kind, caring, and compassionate manner. My husband and I had prearranged the funeral with Bennetts in August 2018 and from that time on, to the day of the burial, January 6, 2019, I couldn't have asked for better service and professionalism. Her service was a simple graveside service but was eloquently handled by their staff--from handling all paperwork, the detailed arrangements, to the beautiful music they provided. If you want your loved one to be taken care of in the most caring way, please choose Bennett Funeral Service, your hometown-owned funeral service. Our family sincerely thanks you for your caring and compassionate ways to our family and to my mother. God's Blessings to the Bennett staff! They are amazing people!

The recent loss or our mother was very difficult. We can not express enough our thanks to Robbie Bennett and his staff for all of the caring support and help afforded my sister and me with handling all arrangements on behalf of my mother. Robbie made sure all aspects of arrangements and scheduling our mother's funeral at her burial site in Cumberland County was accomplished with efficiency, caring and professionalism. For our family we are extremely pleased and grateful for the wonderful service Bennett Funeral Service provided us in a very difficult time. Ron Honeycutt and sister.

My mother Angela Phillips insisted before she passed that "Bennett's" handle her funeral. She chose Bennett's for handling my sister's and niece's funeral and always said "Robbie will take care of me." I must say that Robbie and his staff did take care of us when she passed and thought of everything which was a great burden off my sister and me. We are so grateful for his compassion and care during that time and following. When you're experiencing the worst days you need a truly small town funeral home with staff who are long time members of the community and have decades of experience.

All I can say is “Thank you and God Bless.”. Dayne and the staff took our worries away. We were able to focus on grieving and celebrate the life of a Husband, Father, Grandfather, Son, Brother and Uncle. When we are in need of further Services this is the only place We will chose. 🙏

I live states away form Bennett's Funeral home, so when we lost my daughter I was at a loss as to who I could send her to for her final care. There were special needs and a very tight time restriction for her final care required by the state. A very kind person I meet during this time helped direct me to Bennett's and for that I could not be more grateful. The staff went well above and beyond in there care for her and helped me in more ways than I can possibly express here. Thank you with all my heart.

I am so grateful that our family chose Bennett Funeral Service to serve us during the home-going of our precious mother. Robbie and his staff were so very compassionate and understanding and did everything possible to bring comfort to us. Their aim was to be sure we were pleased. Bennett's will be our choice for future funeral service needs. Also I was amazed at how much more reasonable their cost for services are compared to other funeral homes. Thank you Robbie, Rhonda and staff.

First I would like to say I should have done this long ago. I also would like to thank the Bennets for their gracious handling of three of my family members in a short time. I and my family were treated with great compassion, respect, and concern. There were many questions to be answered, mistakes on my part to be corrected, just so much support for whatever my need was at different times . Bennett Funeral Service is truly a ministry. They serve in many more ways than they have too. Their whole staff has the same goal for each family they encounter: to help you through this very hard time. I also received a visit on Valentine's Day from Kara Killian with a beautiful flower, Kara, you blessed my day. I wish we had more young people like you. I pray for the Bennetts and their staff. May God continue to use each of you tremendously. Thank you for all you do and God bless you.

Thanks so much for serving our family! We have been in ministry for nearly 13 years and we’ve dealt with plenty of Funeral Homes over the years with families. It is really obvious who is in the business to minister to families and who is doing it as an occupation. We appreciate you guys and I want to say that it is evident that you are serving families from a ministry heart. I knew when we worked with you on Shirley Roseman’s mother’s funeral that if we were even in need, there was no doubt about who to all on. You guys have been a real blessing to us during this time.

I cannot begin to thank Robbie, Rhonda and their wonderful staff for the care and genuine compassion given to our family during the recent loss of our precious mother and grandmother, Jewel Setzer. We could never thank them enough for their kindness and care as we planned her home-going service. A special thanks to Kara and Charlie. Mom passed in the early hours of News Year Day. I was so touched at the gentle way they prepared to transport her body. They treated her body as if she were their parent or grandparent. I will forever be grateful for their sensitivity. Again, I can not speak enough kind words to thank the good people at Bennett's for all they have done for our family in our time of deep need. May God continue to bless you all as you minister to and serve this community. Sincerely, The Family of Jewel Setzer

I couldn't be more pleased with my decision to go with Bennett Funeral Service. Never would I have thought that I'd begin this year planning a funeral for my 20 year old son. Never would I have thought that I'd be here to plan EITHER of my sons' funerals. I actually never dreamed that I'd be planning ANYBODY'S funeral at this time of my life, not even for one of my parents. This was the first funeral that I ever had to do and Robbie made it as easy as anything like this could ever be. The loss will always be difficult but the Bennett family, which has now become a part of my family, made laying my Brennie to rest less scary. I can't thank them enough and it gives such comfort to know that they won't leave my side just because the funeral is over. Thank you Bennett family.

I am a nurse and worked at Sherrills Ford Hospice House. When we had a death, I would call Robbiein the middle of the night and I was always amazed by how he sounded like he was wide awake and waiting for my call. I also watched him handle the body (even when he did not know I was watching) and he treated the body as if it was his family member. He was so respectful of the families and staff. That is the reason I chose him to handle my husband's funeral even though I live in Statesville, NC. I am humbly grateful to him and his staff for their kindness and support. I would recommend his services to anyone that wants to be treated with love and respect.

I would like to thank Bennett's Funeral Service for the professional and loving way they helped us bury our mom, Helen Gantt, after her passing into her heavenly home. Robbie and his staff worked with us and made things much easier for us. It seemed as if nothing was more important to those wonderful folks than taking care of us and our wishes and feelings. So I would like to say to Robbie and his staff, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Robbie, Rhonda, and all of the staff at Bennett Funeral Service: You all went above and beyond yet again. Your passion for people and taking care of families is overwhelming. I am so glad to be able to call on a Christian man whose passion is people and will go out of his way to make sure the smallest of details is taken care of. You never make your service to our community about the money it's about taking care of needs, knowing you have to do the best you can and treat others how you would want to be treated. I love you all and thank you for your commitment to my family. I never would have thought I would be using you this early for Phillip but God had a greater plan and I'm glad y'all could be part of my experience. Thank you especially for "manning" the crowd of 500+ the way you did and even the dignity you showed me when you delivered his ashes back home. God bless you all! God truly has laid a calling on your hearts and it's a blessing for families going through the most difficult times in their lives. Love y'all. #thywillbedone #bennettfuneralserviceisthebest

Dear Robbie, Rhonda and Entire Staff, I want to thank you for helping my family through the difficult time following the death of my Father William R Setzer. Your professionalism and care gave us a sense that "everything would be alright" and it was. There was never any pressure just guidance. You took the lead and gave us ideas that would make my father's funeral respectful and personal. From the bottom of my heart thank you all very much for literally holding our hands in this preparation. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God has called you in this field to help others in time of need. So it gives me great comfort to know you and your staff will be there for us in the future during such difficult times on need. Thank you all very much and God Bless. William R Setzer Family

I had the privilege to work with Robbie Bennett March 3, and I must say that I have worked with several funeral homes, however this funeral service was outstanding due to the professional services, the compassion and the personable attitude that people are desiring during the time of grief. Thank you so much for your loving and caring spirit!

I have worked with many funeral services in the area being a Church Musician and by far, there is no one like Bennett Funeral Service! They are professional, friendly and have a heart for serving others! They are a joy to work with! If you need a group that truly cares for the grieving, this is the group to work with. Robbie, David and others have become like family and as a result of this, my own family has asked for their services. Thank you all for always serving so beautifully! You are a blessing to me and to our community!

I cannot express how Robbie and his staff made our family feel. they are compassionate full of love and care. During the time our family felt we had lost everything, Robbie lifted us up in a positive, loving matter, my daddy was very much about looking good and as minor as clean fingernails may be to someone Robbie and his staff made sure my dads hands and nails were as daddy wanted, daddy always carried a pen and loved to have a new pen Robbie and his staff remembered the story we told about daddy and his pen and sure enough daddy had a pen in his pocket.The small things do matter and to Robbie and his staff they pay attention to the small things for you and your love one, I cannot thank them enough or express how wonderful they are. However if you undecided whom to select for you or your loved ones services I highly recommend Bennett Funeral simply because they will treat you with love respect compassion and empathy and will become a longtime friend. They are the best!

There are not enough words to express our thanks and gratitude to Robbie and his staff for the job they did during the unexpected death of our husband, father and grandfather. Robbie came to our house to help plan all the details and answer our questions—we never had to travel to the funeral home. When we didn’t understand, have a question or thought of doing something out of the ordinary, he took time to explain and always answered with “we can do whatever you want”. He was very compassionate and patience with us. Rhonda did a great job on the tribute video. Mr. Blackburn was outstanding. We first met him around 2:30pm on a Sunday afternoon and by the end of the night, he knew all eleven of us by our first name. His help in organizing Roger’s final ride on the bed of his pickup truck will be a treasured memory for each of us forever. Thank you Mr. Blackburn. And the cost, unbelievable the savings compared to other funeral places in the area. May God continue to bless Robbie and his staff.

I would like to thank Robbie and Rhonda for their support during the passing of my mother Linda Helms. I gladly recommend Robert F. Bennett Funeral Services to everyone. Robbie will save you at least double the money when you are preparing for your loved one’s memorial service. Yes, I said a savings of double what the other funeral services offer. You will not be sorry. Your loved one will be taken care of as if they were a part of Robbie’s family. You will not have to step foot in a funeral home. Robbie comes to your family. When my mother passed away she was at Brian Center in Viewmont. As soon as your loved one passes away you must make a decision on who to pick up the body. Our family did not know who to choose. We asked another funeral service in Newton to come and get mother’s body. As soon as my wife and I got home from the nursing facility my pastor came to visit us. He gave us information on Robert F. Bennett Funeral Services. He assured us that the service was great and he would beat the other funeral services prices. My wife, Carol, called Robbie and we knew immediately that we wanted him to handle my mother’s funeral. Robbie called the other funeral service to inform them that he was coming to get my mother’s body. The rest is history. Robbie stepped in and made our experience as easy as possible. Robbie visited with us throughout the week on several occasions and each time that he did, you could since a REAL concern for our needs. Robbie filed all the paperwork that goes along with a death in a family including life insurance filing. Robbie is the true professional that you would want for your loved one. My family didn’t have to worry about anything. Robbie had all the avenues covered. If we ever had a question about something, all we had to do was call, and Robbie or Rhonda was there to help. Our family appreciates what Robbie and Rhonda stands for and we pray that the Lord will bless and prosper your business and your family. Thanks so very much, Cameron Helms

My sister and I were so grateful for everything Robbie did to help us during the unexpected passing of my dad. Even though it was just days before the Thanksgiving holiday, Robbie was there for us every second that we needed him to answer all of our questions (even the seemingly silly ones, since my sister and I had never been through this process before), offer us advice and direction on things that were outside of his typical funeral services, meet with us whenever and wherever was most convenient for us, calling for no other reason than just to check in that we were doing okay, and just going above and beyond in showing his genuine concern for our family and needs.

I can not begin to thank Robert F. Bennett Funeral Services for the kind and loving care they gave to me and my family during the death and burial of my beloved father this week. I have never seen such compassionate and loving people in a business like I saw in this business. I felt as if Robbie and wife Rhonda were part of the family as they lead me every step of the way, never leaving my side in making arrangements for my fathers funeral. In fact, I never had to enter a funeral home. They came to me with everything and that made it so much more comfortable in making plans. Losing a loved one so close was new to me, and I was lost in where to start. But I never had to be alone in this. They made me feel like they knew my dad personally, making it easier on all of us. Robbie made sure we never felt rushed, and even the day of the viewing he made sure I new that I could take as much time as I needed before he opened the door to the public to view. He was right there by my side the day I walked in to see my daddy laying at rest. When all was said and done, I we all felt like we had gained another family member with Robbie and Rhonda. God has truly anointed them for this business and has given them the gift of compassion. Thank you Robbie and Rhonda for all you have done and we hope we have made lifelong friends

Many thanks to Robbie and Rhonda Bennett for their compassionate assistance before and after the loss of our Mom. Robbie was available 24/7 and offered his help in any way possible. He was kind, caring and supportive, not only while taking care of Mom’s arrangements but also taking care of us. Rhonda’s help with the paperwork took all the stress away from us while we were mourning. The cost for all this wonderful service was truly reasonable. We can’t thank them enough for their help. –The Family of Betty Swartz

The Sadie Arndt Family would like to thank Robbie and Rhonda Bennett for the Special Services they provided to us in our time of need. Losing a mother is very difficult to comprehend, but with your expertise help and caring, it made it so much easier to bear. We never knew it would be so much to planning a funeral, and we couldn't have done it without your gracious and generous help. Everything we needed, asked for, and just being a friend was provided to us. You two are very special caring and blessed people. I know you will get well established in your new business and journey.

I don't even know where to begin to say thank you for all that you did to comfort my family during my daddy's passing last Thursday. From the moment we met you, there was a compassion and understanding like no other. You didn't mind any changes that we felt needed to be made and you made us feel as if we were the only family you had to serve. We truly appreciate the service you provided to our family. You helped us ease the pain of the loss. My daddy would have been very happy and I could just hear him say now that's good people. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

Highly recommend Robert "Robbie" Bennett and his staff! Great hometown, friendly people who will treat you extraordinary throughout the entire process and even go above and beyond what you've come to expect from others! Can't describe in words how appreciative our family is to the Bennett Funeral Service and staff for their support during our time of loss. They go out of their way so you don't have to! Thank you Robbie! Kimberlee Drum

In our extreme time of need, the Bennett's were there for us. From the moment we first met, Robbie was so sincere and heartfelt. No one should ever have to experience the death of a child, especially a child you never got a chance to know. The Bennett's were especially comforting with our situation. Both Robbie and Rhonda made it so if I felt that I needed anything, even just to talk, I could call them. God shined his light upon us in our time of need, and blessed us with such wonderful people to help us through. I cannot say thank you enough. They truly care about people, and it shows. Thank you both so much. -The Fredell Family

Robbie, I just want to thank you and Rhonda for helping me thru the death of my sister. From the time I called and told you that Sally was not going to be with us much longer and I did not know what to do, you was there at my every call. I have never seen such caring and compassionate people as you and your staff was. You made me feel like you were a part of my family and you did not pressure me to do anything and you put up with any changes and helped me all the way. Again thank you so very much. I could have never gotten thru this without all of you. Emily Keener

Not having gone thru anything like this, I didn't know what to expect. The Bennetts far exceeded anything I could've ever imagined. My dad introduced me to Robbie last year and told me that when the time came that he wanted Robbie to handle his arrangements. Little did I know, my father couldn't have picked a better person. Robbie called shortly after my dad's passing and came right over. He greeted me with a smile and a hug and offered suggestions and options. His wife, Rhonda, worked diligently to prepare a beautiful DVD of my dad and also worked in the background so that everything else went smoothly. She was very responsive to every question and obviously is a hard worker. I never felt pressured in any of the decisions that had to be made. Everyone was very kind and thoughtful. All of my family has expressed their deep appreciation for Robbie and his staff. We all felt as if they went to extra lengths to make you feel that they truly love you and care about you. I can't imagine any other funeral director that could be any better. I feel as if I've known them all my life and have come to call them "good friends".

During one of the worst moments of our lives, the thought of dealing with funeral arrangements on top of feeling hopeless was to over whelming. We were referred to Bennett's Funeral home. We had no money and my husband had no life insurance. Robert and Rhonda Bennett are two of the most compassionate people we've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Most funeral homes play on the "grieving widow" syndrome. I was relieved when I found out that Robert would come to my home. EVERYTHING was handled out of the comfort of my home. I never had to set one single foot in the funeral home itself. My husband had to be cremated due to our financial situation. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett meet our needs , and the service at the church ( with the preacher they had recommended) was absolutely beautiful! They were a real comfort in dire times and was able to meet our needs with dignity, and our funeral costs were well within our budget. We thank GOD that there are honest , caring people like Robert and Rhonda Bennett, and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts for explaining everything they offered, and staying within our budget. It made our tragic ordeal so much easier. Thank you Robbie and Rhonda Bennett. We will NEVER use another funeral home. May GOD bless you and your family for the work you are doing and the compassion you showed our family. Sincerely, The family of Clay Leslie Ward

A sincere heartfelt thank you to Robbie for showing compassion to me and my family in the loss of our Mother. Thank you for providing a beautiful service for her and for going out of your way to help us during our time of grief. Too often when the family faces the loss of a loved one and planning the funeral, Funeral homes take advantage of the family's sorrow and focus on how much more money they can get from them. But Robbie's main concern was for my Mother , her wishes, and making sure that our family's needs were taken care of. He took the time to offer comfort and to offer help with whatever we needed. The cost was half what other funeral homes offer. I highly recommend Robert Bennett Funeral Services, and once again, thank you Robbie. May God continue to bless you for your kindness and compassion for others. Your treasures are being stored in Heaven. Tina Spencer

As we began the journey toward my grandmothers final days we knew there was a decision to make in what funeral home would handle her final arrangements. In my life I have had the priviledge to work with many funeral homes and directors but Robbie Bennett from the first day I met him always seemed to be one who stood out...he always went out of his way to show he cared and that you were more than just someone that was just another acquaintance. After my grandmother passed we called Robbie and in everything he did his passion and commitment to his job was evident. He was so respectful of her body in everyway from picking her up to take her to the funeral home and not covering her face up in front of me which was my biggest fear to helping us girls get her hair and makeup just right for her viewing because he knew how meticulous we were and how much it meant to us for her to look just perfect. He stood beside us and guided us every step of the way...lending a hug or piece of advice he knew just what to say! During the receiving he frequently checked on us and provided tissues for our tears and water for our dry throats. At the graveside he offered support and encouraging words to all of us to help us get through the day. The special touches that his wife Rhonda added to things like the registry book just gave it the "I love you touch". He even took time out of his busy schedule to call and check on us a few days AND a few weeks later. Now usually only friends show that kind of concern so I guess that in itself tells you what kind of Funeral director Robbie is. I wouldn't trust the ones I love the most too anyone else. Robbie and Rhonda thank you from the bottom of my heart! Y'all are awesome. Celeste Guins (Granddaughter)

I remember when Robbie told me he wanted me to see him in any store and I wanting to greet him with a big smile on my face -not run away from him. Well, that is so true. Since the passing of my loved one on Feb.2, 2013, I have not ran across you yet, but it will be pleasant seeing both of you again because you are two angels brought to earth from up above to comfort the grieving and certainly taking care of all funeral services -and beyond- much beyond. There is so much to say about you that I could write a book. I still have your cards in my car, ready for the next family that may need "two angels". Thank you!! BC -Hickory, NC

Dear Rhonda and Robbie: Thank you so much for taking care of my mom's funeral. Robbie, you knew exactly what we wanted to do for my mom because you listen to us and asked questions.

You're very special to our family. Barb Nordyke

On July 30, 2013, my beloved Mother passed into eternity. She was surrounded in a hospital room by many family members who loved her dearly. My Uncle Ken was present. He recommended Robbie Bennett to us to take care of our Mother. From the first call, I could sense the deep compassion and genuine empathy. The Bennet's have gone beyond the call of duty to accommodate our desires for our loved one and for the emotional well being of the family. All needed business contacts were made in the comfort of our homes. We were gently guided through the process and given every opportunity to make all the choices we desired. In the days that followed, Robbie kept in touch to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. His lovely wife, Rhonda, treated us with kindness and compassions. I am deeply appreciative of the beautiful memories I will have of my Mother's beautiful appearance, the flowers for her spray, the memorial quilt, and the accomodations at the graveside service. I would highly recommend Robbie services for others in the community. May God bless you, your wife and your business as you assist families in our community with final affairs for their loved ones.
