James & Sikes has been our family’s choice since 1973 when we lost our first family member. We’ve been most pleased with their services!

Mr. Sikes showed us that his whole heart and soul is totally involved in caring for the needs of our family at a time when it mattered the most.

Dear Mr. Sikes, I wanted to take a moment and sincerely thank you and your staff for the wonderful job you did in reference to my mom, Valerie J. Cox’s viewing and funeral arrangements. You and your staff were professional, courteous and compassionate from the time you picked my mother up from the Rehab Center to when we placed her body in her final resting place. I greatly appreciate you, and the rest of your staff for answering any questions I or my family had no matter what time of the day or day of the week it was, either through email, text, in person or over the phone. This was a difficult time for my family and we are very grateful to you and your staff for being there with us to help guide us through every step of arranging everything. Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your kindness, guidance and professionalism and services. We could not have picked a better facility to take care of my mother’s final arrangements. May God continue to bless you all in your business. God Bless, Jennifer Cox Nolan

I have known Chris Sikes both personally and professionally for many years and have nothing but the upmost praise for him. In your time of need for a funeral home you could not find a better firm then James & Sikes - Maddox chapel. Their staff is both friendly , courteous, helpful and very professional at all times. Their tradition of service is well known in this area.

Our family has experienced two tragic deaths of children we dearly loved. One was a two-year-old, Joy Bout, who passed in 2005, and the other was 19-year-old Herman Williams, who passed just a month ago. For both of these mournful occasions, James & Sikes has provided instant relief and support during a time that it was difficult to even think clearly. They gently and lovingly served us and cared for the family members and friends of these children with a tenderness and respect that ministered to our entire community. We are extremely grateful for the professionalism, sensitivity, compassion and guidance that every staff member displayed. Their benevolence relieved us so that we and our family and friends were able to put difficult details behind us and move on to grieve and mourn our loved ones. We are thankful to God to have a resource like James & Sikes in our community. They are faithful friends who are dedicated to serving all people, and they exemplify the spirit of Christ in their ministry to the brokenhearted.

Dear Friends at James and Sikes, Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did to make our precious mother's "home-going" celebration special in every way. It was, as always, a pleasure and blessing to work with you. Especially at such a difficult time when we needed help and support the very most. You were such an encouragement and took such good care of us. We surely are grateful to you and ask you to please keep us in your prayers for continued strength and comfort. With love and appreciation, The Wester Family

Our family suffered the sudden, tragic loss of our husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Charles "Charlie" Croft. We could not have endured the long week prior to his funeral without Chris Sikes and his staff at James and Sikes-Maddox Chapel. The dignity and compassion with which they served will never be forgotten by the Croft family.

We used James & Sikes when my Dad passed away 10 years ago and we were so pleased with their caring service. When my Mom passed away on July 8th, 2018, the care, compassion and dedication was honestly above and beyond. I can't imagine anyone not using this funeral home when their need arises. Tracie...my Mother was beautiful. Thank you all so much for your service and support to my family.

Chris, Tracie, and everyone else that had a part of helping us honor Pape Frank Bylsma, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!! Today was the hardest day of my life, but the caliber in which his service was played out from start to finish was that of excellence. In fact, as I was pondering today how much less painful this process has been with Chris handling every single detail and Tracie making sure pape Frank looked so handsome, God showed me that what James and Sikes provide is a MINISTRY not a business! I felt the presence of JESUS from the second Chris came to my mother's after Pape passed until today when I went back to the cemetery after the service to visit with him and saw the perfection of how all the flowers were placed over his grave. Ministry yes a ministry is definitely what James and Sikes provides. I will forever be grateful for the care, detail, and compassion Chris, Tracie, and their staff provided the Bylsma family!!! May God continue to bless the ministry that gave us so much peace!!
