What does the ideal pairing of expertise, passion, and service look like? Keith and Tammy Phillips of Goff Funeral Home! Read on to learn more about how these incredible people make Monterey a better place to live.
95 years.
That’s how long D.M. Goff Funeral Home has been in operation.
Nearly a century.
Grief and comfort in Monterey for 95 years.
As one of two funeral options in the city, Goff Funeral Home has held thousands of ceremonies.
Think about that. Thousands of families have been helped through the pain of death by the various teams at Goff.
When D.M. “Doc” Goff founded the business in 1927, he had no way of knowing what it would become, or just how capable the hands leading it in 2023 would be.
For the entire 35 years of my life, two people have poured their hearts in making the grieving process possible at Goff Funeral Home; owners Keith and Tammy Phillips.
Carrying on “Doc’s” spirit of service and human-centric care, Keith and Tammy suffer with the community and they’ve done so countless times.

They are literally a shoulder to cry on.
They are available.
They are true experts, who excel at their craft.
They are kind.
They make the worst days better, and do it knowing it will hurt.
They offer real love.
A love that’s painful for them but brings healing to others.
I’ve experienced it.
Almost everyone in Monterey can say the same.
Keith and Tammy are wonderful examples of what it means to serve your community.
Their lives exist in the trenches, loving Monterey, and we’re lucky to have them.
We always have been.

Keith and Tammy are the best….
They are exactly the way you have described. I have known Keith since he was a kid following around after Doc Goff and he has always been kind.
They are truly a kind and caring couple. I do not live in Monterey but have had family/friends that they took care of and I have always been impressed by both of them.
They are the best if the best. I so Appreciate all they fone for my family ehen my Daddy Lester Phillips ann my momna Mildred Irene Phillips passed away. All the comfort Love and compassion they had for each of us. Thank you for all you do. We Love you all.
Two wonderful people with kind hearts and great dedication.
I love them so much. We live up north in Ohio. They have handled everyone loved one that has passed in our family. Their not a business their a family. I’m blessed to know them.
There has been so many of the Key family that have used their services, I can’t even count them all. My personal experience was to get information on how to bury my daughter with my parents and I knew Keith and Tammy were the ones who could advise us and they went above and beyond that help me. Thank you Tammy and Keith from the bottom of my heart.
These two people are the best human beings there are. It’s not just a job to them because they know so many of us in and around our little town. They have took care of so many of our family and friends and been their for me as a friend and shed tears with me. Me and Keith have had this thing for YEARS about going to the DQ to get an ice cream and when my mom and brother passed in May of 2009 it was cool and Keith brought me a pack of hot chocolate. Now that’s a good person and friend. I love them both.
Keith and Tammy are great folks. When our son died they were the best folks. The night of his viewing there were literally hundreds of folks there and passing thru. And the day of his funeral it was standing room only.
I can only hope they take care of my family when I am gone as they did me and my family when my son left the shitty world.
Love these two people!!! They have gotten our family through many difficult times and are always professional, kind and loving!!! So glad I know them ❤️
