“You shoulda been known about Caskets and Funeral Homes, the debut from Tacoma's own Second Family, but let me help you out here just this once. The Oakland Park - and Southend bred duo of Element and NoQuezt blend contrasting vocal tones and styles—the latter's higher-octave bounce meeting the former's beastly lower notes and coldly calculated bars. Skirting synthy mobbery and waterboard G-funk, Caskets has an almost down-South G-lean; they know what they're doing—and what they don't like, as they riff on tight clothes and store-bought cool as on the Jay Barz–assisted "Bout a Swag". Fuck with your down-south neighbors, Seattle scene—safe to say they got some shit down I-5.”

— Larry Mizell Jr., Seattle Stranger

“Tacoma, Washington is not known for hip-hop music. While Seattle and even Portland have gained some recognition for the northwest, Tacoma has remained overlooked. Second Family looks to change that with their debut CD "Caskets and Funeral Homes." Consisting of rappers Element and NoQueztion, the duo represents Tacoma, or Tac-Town as they call it, to the fullest. NoQuestion's relaxed brags contrast Element's commanding flows as the duo tackles a little bit of everything on the albums' 18 tracks.”

— Pedro Hernandez, Rap Reviews

“While the group Second Family hails from Tacoma in the 253 area code. It consists of two talented rappers: NoQuezt and Element. "Caskets and Funeral Homes" originally dropped in 2009, however the limited pressing was quickly sold out, so no wonder that the artists decided to come up with a re-release before a year passed. And not your average one! Even if you own the OG version, it's worth purchasing the refreshed one, because two songs were extended, plus there are 3 additional bonus cuts.”

— Khamenei, Bay Undaground
