I called Joe and he was right there to help me with everything. He gives great service and you will not be disappointed. I also used his services for my grandmother and uncle.

I must... read moreMy father recently passed, and the family quickly came together to help my mother plan the funeral. I must admit that I had concerns going into the first meeting with Joe Paul and the team at Joseph B Paul Funeral Services. I wanted to give my father the funeral he requested prior to his passing and support my mother. I walked into the first meeting with assumptions and expectations. I found that many of my assumptions were somewhat misguided, and my expectations were exceeded … even greatly exceeded.

Joe, Dennis, Fletcher, and the Joseph B Paul team were fantastic. They were very attentive to our needs and respectful to the family during such a difficult time. Both Joe and Dennis made changes along the way to accommodate the family’s needs, provided excellent contacts in the community to help the family with other topics beyond the funeral arrangements, and calmly addressed a few surprises along the way (cemetery had improperly filed a few documents and initially had difficulty identifying the location of the plot). They were also extremely supportive throughout the process, for example, being very patient with us when compiling the photos for the video (thanks Fletcher!). Joe followed up several times to get the death certificate and was very transparent throughout the entire process, from start to finish.

Most importantly, Joe and Dennis attended to the family’s emotional needs. The entire team was always calm, respectful, and empathetic. We felt that they genuinely cared about the family and giving my father the funeral he deserved. They even helped us laugh a little bit.

I give them my highest recommendation. Expectations exceeded.

I sat down with Joe Paul Jr. with my two older brothers and at first it was formal and business like. Once we discussed who we were, who we were kind to, who our family was Joe made us feel like a member of his family. He personally knew alot of my family. We decided to honor my dads wishes and "Throw him in a pine box," we had discussed with my dad and my dad's wishes were for use to bury him as cheap as possible.
Joe felt the need to upgrade our service and provide us with a full graveside service.
My brothers and I felt like Joe was one of our uncles or something. Great guy, Great family business, Great employees that he considers family. I grew up in this small town and felt right at home. If your trying to decide what funeral service to use, TRUST ME PLEASE. There is no other place to use in Eastern NC that is going to provide you with TOP NOTCH service for your time of need. Joseph B. Paul Jr. uses all his experience from the formerly run Paul Funeral home to provide a professional and considerate service. read less

They went above and beyond to make sure that all our needs and requests were met in the most kind way. I love every employee that works there.

A couple a days before that, I realized things were probably going to end for both of them really soon! Besides the shock and much sadness about the possibility they would die, I knew I had to arrange, not one, but 2 funerals!

We had not attended to end of life issues very well. I really needed help from a reliable funeral service to help me in my particular situation, and quick! I called Joe Paul and asked him what he could do for me. He said let's sit down, I'll help you any way I can.

From that minute he and his staff, Amy, Fletcher, Jay, and Josh never let me worry about anything I asked them about. The guidance I got from Joe was the easiest thing, even though, I felt like I was certainly going to frustrate them the way I wanted things to be right for my 2 family members. That was so important to me! I wanted them honored at the end of their life. Joe guided me every step by first, telling me the options I could choose. By him talking so personally with me about his own experiences and me to him about mine, I was able to choose the best way for us. I am at much peace about how it ended on the day of our private family memorial.

I think I called about something everyday, either, to ask them to change something or add to the obituary, or add more photos to the tributes. Fletcher is a professional in that! Amy, Jay and Josh were so patient with adding and changing things and they made sure I was happy with the written obituaries.

I trusted Josh and Jay, also, to pick up my loved ones, once I got to know
them. That really mattered to me! I think they respect everyone when doing their jobs.

I know I've left something out, but, they did so many things for me and very professionally, even, at my home during the memorial, they were there to assist anyway we needed. To me, they all went above and beyond their job. I recommend them to anyone when needing funeral services! Thank you all! read less

Being fairly new to the area I had to rely on word of mouth to help me make a decision as to who I would trust to cremate my father. Dennis helped to turn a painful experience into a pleasant one. I laughed and cried. But most of all I left with a sense of feeling like I made new friends as Sarah was also a big help and had a sparkling personality to help make a gloomy day better. They both enthusiastically listened to me telling them proudly all about my dads accomplishments. Dennis even shared some stories about his life as well.
Can’t thank you both for truly making my day better.
I’m just so relieved and thankful I chose your services.
Without any hesitation I would highly recommend Joseph Paul Jr ❤️ read less
