"Jennifer Turner, Eric & Cesar were so understanding, patient, attentive, supportive & encouraging throughout my experience from guiding me in the initial planning meeting to following up & providing examples or suggestions throughout the coordinating steps al the way through to the day of the service. I couldn't imagine getting through the experience without their support & expertise."

"There was no service, so it's hard to say if it was unique and no one contacted us after the service for the same reason - there was no service. They have been in contact with us keeping us up to date on the process."

"Michael was wonderful in helping us plan my mother in laws memorial. He was very intuitive and asked the right questions to get us the service we desired for that day. All the displays were thoughtfully and beautifully displayed for the family and friends attending. I cannot thank him enough for making it as stress free as possible and for his clear and precise communication."
