My first memories of Gallant Funeral Home was when I lost my brother in a car accident in July 1965. A young Brad Gallant drove the ambulance to the horrific crash site at Park City and picked up my brother. Mr. Charles Gallant along with his wife Lee put together a first class memorial service that made a lasting impression on me and our whole family. In July 2015 about 60 years later my sister and I called on Brad Gallant and Brooke Fanning when our mother passed away and just like before the service was outstanding in every way. This past Mothers Day my sister took flowers to the gravesite for Mom and Dad at Rose Hill Cemetery. She discovered the grass and trim work around the grave not taken care of. She called Brad Gallant and even though Rose Hill does not belong to Gallant Funeral Home and not their responsibility Brad loaned his weed trimmer so my sister could clean up the gravesite. Brad at our request also repaired the grave marker and filled in with dirt where the grave had sunk in. I called to thank Brad and tried several times to pay him. He would not take any money. In closing, Gallant Funeral Home has taken care of the OLD family for over 60 years. Brad and Brooke continue to this day providing outstanding personal detailed service and have been life long friends. Thanks Brad for a job well done and for the times that were "Truly a Remembered Service."

Our son passed away suddenly in the Washington, DC area and was cremated up there. He wanted to have his ashes buried in Fayetteville and selected Gallant to assist us with this process. I can’t say enough good things about the assistance that we received from Brad. His professionalism was surpassed only by his incredible compassion. Thank you for making a difficult time more bearable.

I had to thank Brad Gallant and all of his staff for assisting my brother and I with our mothers funeral. It was such a tragic event and an unbearable situation to deal with to begin with yet Brad helped us every step of the way. I cannot thank everyone there enough. It was a beautiful service and I know that my mom would have been very pleased with how everything was handled.

I don’t even know where to begin to describe the kindness and love me and my family felt while we were here. There’s not enough words. They were so kind and patient with us. Everything was perfect. It made our unthinkable and unbearable situation just a little more bearable. Losing our child and thinking of planning a funeral for her was something I couldn’t fathom but they honored her so beautifully. The chapel and funeral home is so bright and beautiful to begin with but everything they did for us made it even more beautiful. Every single person there is just so full of love and joy we felt at home while we were there. I couldn’t imagine it being anymore perfect anywhere else.

Their service is fantastic. I told my boys when my time comes this is where I want to be.Thank you so very much for your loving care of my husband. The DVD was just what we wanted, he loved cars.

I just wanted to thank all of you for everything you did to make the loss of my sister, Cathy Henderson, a wonderful experience. She would be so happy. Loved the DVD of the photos I watch it everyday. The music was so special and well done. I've told my family when my time comes I want them to have my funeral here. The care you show the family during this time is exceptional. Thank you so very much for your loving care for my sister.

We sincerely thank you for all you did for us when our dear Ruth passed away. You made everything so worry-free for us just when we needed it most.

My brother and I want to thank Brad Gallant & his staff for everything you did for us during this difficult time in the death of our parents within the past 11 months. What we felt would be difficult in making the arrangements was made easy by Brad & the staff from the beginning to the burial site. What was a day of emotion & grief from burying our parents was eased by your caring & support knowing everything was taken care of. We will always be thankful for everything Gallant Funeral Home did for our family during this difficult time. Rickey & Billy Mullins
