"Gary Blackburn and the staff made what is a very difficult time so much easier. Their caring and compassion throughout the process was exceptional and deeply appreciated."

"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."
