And with all details done, there were not too many decisions to be made. That is a very smart thing to do, not that we are any smarter than anyone else … I have nothing but kudos to her for taking care of us and making an emotional situation better for us. I'm telling my friends that they should inquire about prepaying the costs. I know people don't like to think about that, but it makes it so much easier for your loved ones if the details are taken care of … It is a sorrowful situation and it's stressful and emotional, but having arrangements already paid for, I can't recommend that enough.”

“You guys conduct an excellent service! We were all pleased with everything that you did … My wife and her sister purchased some crypts there a year or two ago. They looked at other facilities, but yours stood out. It’s a very quiet place … The facility as a whole was clean and neat. The people were courteous. Even the grounds people, they were there but they were invisible. The world seemed to stand still at that particular time. They gave us time to be with family. I have been to a lot of funerals, and you are a 5-star, without hesitation. You took great care of us. I was very impressed. I would tell anybody who needed that same type of service where to go. I took some of your business cards, and I always tell people, “You need to prepare.””
