"Advantage Funeral & Cremation services took care of my family when everything happened unexpectedly. They guided me through the whole process and even told me what questions to ask when I called around to other places in town. They were also conveniently located near some hotels which occupied other family members from out of town. The services what up to par for the value my loved one looked liked just like he did before he became ill. Advantage Funeral Home help me process his death with a little easier knowing he was taken care of."

"Steven and the staff of Advantage Funeral Services made me and my family feel as if they were a part of our family. Your kindness to us will never be forgotten. We did not have any prearranged funeral planning but my mother saw their commercial on television and wanted to come in and plan her funeral so that we would not have to when the time came, unfortunately she did not have the opportunity. Thank you all so much for everything."
