Ratings & Reviews

Verified Customer Reviews

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 always felt like the funeral home had everything under control and moving in the right direction, while still allowing for me to adjust or personalize the various aspects. This could have been an overwhelming process. Instead, the funeral home handled 95% and helped me understand upfront the few things that I would need to handle on my won (repast, headstone, etc.)."
