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 ...
Gerard will truly be missed! He was a great step dad! When he’d come for dinner I would ask ‘are you hungry’ he would always reply ‘always’ I loved to hear him tell his stories about the war. He loved all his family! All were important to him! I thank God for the time I had with him! I loved him dearly!! May God comfort all who held him dear in their hearts!
