"The passing of a loved one can be a traumatic experience dealing with overwhelming grief while planning funeral arrangements. Director Edward Tylka of Ridge Funeral Home went above and beyond explaining, planning, and carrying out our requests with compassion and understanding. Every detail was perfect! The staff at Ridge explained how to post photographs and memories online and graciously answered all our questions. I highly recommend Ridge Funeral Home and thank them for their professionalism, but mostly for their caring ways."
