"Everyone at Stratford Evans was wonderful. Unfortunately, we had the need for services for another family member who passed about one week later, and we dealt with Stratford Evans again. They were very efficient, and understanding, and made a difficult time easier. They dealt with the very different wishes our 2 family members had, and helped us accede to each of their wishes, in a respectful, personalized, stress-free manner."
