"Due to COVID the number of funerals were more than usual, therefore, some things (obtaining paperwork for a grave marker) probably took more time than normal. I didn't meet with a staff person in person because I live out of town and did all the arrangements on line. I believe the staff performed wonderfully under the circumstances"

"From our first meetings at Elmwood offices and cemetery to our last experience with them, we have been completely satisfied and impressed. Everyone is professional and caring. It was quite evident that they were there to help us. Lynn and Don made sure we had every question answered. They were attentive and accommodating to whatever we needed. Anything we mentioned or suggested, they assured us it would be done - and it was. In terms of worry about the service and burial, our family could not believe that such an experience could be made into something we would treasure. We will never regret our choice of Elmwood."
