Our staff is courteous and understanding. Our facilities are comfortable and immaculate. Our services are handled with dignity and respect. If you are not completely satisfied with any of our services or facility offerings, we will reduce or eliminate the charge. We are the only funeral home in the area to offer this guarantee.
Funeral and Cremation costs can be very confusing. Often times other funeral & cremation providers will quote what seems like a low price, but actually they do not give you the complete costs and there will be hidden add on charges after you have chosen to utilize their services. We have made it easier ...
I love and miss you mom, my best friend and favorite person in the world. You blessed me and Amani dearly and we hope to make you proud. Until we meet again, save me a spot and I will jump for joy the day I get see you again. Don’t forget what I told you … You know where I am.. <3 I love you!!
She is flying with the angels now. God bless
I did not know Cynthia, by I do know her son Timmothy J Printz. He has always talked of his love for his mom. While I did not know her, I do know that she raised a very kind hearted, generous Christian man, who would give the shirt off his back to anyone who needed it. What better legacy can you leave? I’m so sorry for your loss Tim and family. You are in Jessica and I’s thoughts.may you find peace during this terrible time of grief.
Mom,
I will miss discussing our family history with you and your memories of growing up in West Acres.
Will miss watching The Black List with you.
You are the best mom a son could ever wish for and you will always be my first Valentine.
Love,
Chris
I could not have hand picked a better mother in law. You were always encouraging and kind to me – never ever judgmental and I so appreciated that and needed that. I love you and miss you. You will always have a special place in my heart.
