"Nicole was Exceptional! From the moment I sat down with her, along with my son and daughter, I felt I was in the right place, and with the right person. Prior to contacting Nicole, I had a not-so-great experience with another funeral home. After meeting with Nicole my stress level went from '10' down to '0'. When I added the Personalized package

, she asked a few questions about my husband, and made a few notes. I had no idea what the room would look like the day of the service, but I felt confident in her ability to make it special. I have to say, I was overwhelmed at how beautiful everything looked, the attention to detail honoring my husband's military service, and career as a fire fighter and nurse was unbelievable! The entire service and celebration (the food was amazing) flowed seamlessly. Every detail of that service was perfect! Thank you all for making such a difficult time in my life so easy!"
