Matt was extremely helpful in our unique situation. Kind and non-judgmental. He made a difficult time a bit easier.

Was very pleased. Cathy was sympathetic and yet encouraging and open to the kids ideas. It was well organized and being open to the having my daughter use her draft horses to take her dad to the cemetery and the flag draping the coffin. It was our funeral.

We were very pleased with the entire experience for our father's funeral. Even though it happened sooner than expected, we were grateful to have it planned ahead of time to make it easier for our family overall.

We were treated like family. I could easily become friends with our funeral director Cathy. They did an wonderful job.

Our only son passed away out of state and Cathy was very caring and understanding during the whole process. Would recommend her to anyone!

Our funeral director Cathy was very helpful and experienced in our decision making. They took care of our needs before we knew we needed them. At the onset of the Covid-19 lockdown, with such uncertainty, Cathy went above and beyond to meet all our needs. They helped us prepare in advance which made the difficult time simpler.

Everyone made a very difficult experience much easier. The friendly, caring staff and owners are wonderful and all the little extras were awesome. Thank you to everyone.
