I can't thank Shafer's enough for the care and thoughtfulness that we received from Candace, Eric and Jack. We suffered a huge family loss and unlike the funeral homes in and around Canadian, that let their greed take the lead, they offered us everything we needed without taking us for every penny they could. Shafer's priority is making your family feel comforted and taking care of your loved one. Thank you all for making one of the hardest times in our lives less stressed and less of a financial burden. God bless you for the services you provide and the love and care in which you do it.

We laid my son to rest this week. Jack Gandy was instrumental in helping us get arrangements made and explained everything thoroughly. He is very professional and compassionate. We knew my son and both families were in good hands during this difficult time. We had plenty of time to prepare for other things that were needed. This made our experience with Mr. Gandy exceptional. Thank you! From: Mom E

Candace and all of the great people at Shafer Mortuary did such a wonderful job when our son Danny Poole passed away. Wholesale prices does not mean less service. They truly are trying to help families in their time of need. Family owned and operated and they take care of their customers and treat them like family.

Losing my nephew suddenly was one of the hardest things my family has faced, and I can’t thank Shafer Funeral Home enough for the way they cared for us. They treated my family with kindness and compassion every step of the way, and made a very painful time a little easier to get through.

I work for a mortuary service in Oklahoma and have had occasions to deal with Candace and Eric Shafer of Shafer Mortuary, Amarillo. In my interaction, I have always found them to be specialists in the field of mortuary arts, sciences and services. Each time, they, and their staff, presented a very polished presence before, during and after serving their client's needs. Shafer Mortuary is a first class operation!
