Since 2005, many of our customers have taken the time to tell us how we did each year via our Voice of the Customer program. Our star ratings and comments from families come directly from these surveys.

"I referred someone in March to them and they were very satisfied how their service was conducted. I found them to be extremely accommodating in the time of Covid. There wasn't anything that I asked for that I didn't get to give my husband a proper burial. We were able to celebrate my husband with dignity and respect."
