"I found your whole staff was very professional. They handled the arrangements with no problem. Didn't feel pressured into anything. The only problem I had was not with your staff, but with the state not doing the death certificate on a timely manner. Gary did inform us of this before we left from doing the arrangements."

"We lost our sons suddenly and unexpectedly in August 2020. Gary S. Blackburn was courteous, understanding and professional. He even kept a sense of humor about him with us. The loss of a loved one is tragic and the loss of both of our sons at the same time was even more tragic. We thank you for your kindness and excellent care of our sons."

"This is not the first time we have used the funeral services of Callahan Edfast. Without exception their service options have always been presented in a kind, compassionate, no pressure, financially sensitive manner. It is very emotional to say goodbye to a loved one and to make difficult decisions when grieving. Their gentle guidance helped us to make good decisions for not only our lost loved one, but also balanced to our lives as we moved on past the funeral experience."

"I would strongly encourage anyone to use the services of Callahans because they met our request and gave us all the time and respect we needed. The staff responded to our questions at every hour. When we asked for help unloading... the staff was there, when we needed help with a family member in a wheelchair the staff made it look like this was a member of their own family. When they're we're those who wanted to be there that needed to be set to the side during the Covid social distancing they made this possible for us. I would hope that families continue to support Callahans."

"The responsiveness and sensitivity to the special needs of our family were respected and reflected in every interaction with Shawn and the rest of the staff. Also, the cost of the services provided, which we feared would be onerous, were actually very reasonable-- and yet the services provided were definitely of the highest quality and met or exceeded all of our expectations.

"Shawn Conners was both courteous and professional in his manner of handling our mother's funeral. We received many compliments on the conduct of the funeral from our friends and the family. I appreciated the opportunity to work out a lot of the details by email prior to meeting with him - it made me feel more prepared. I also appreciated the speed with which they obtained the certified death certificate, so that the practical matters could be handled. Sherry Otero-Broussard was outstanding in providing me with straight-forward information regarding options and costs. Sincere thanks to both."
