Verified Customer Reviews

Since 2005, many of our customers have taken the time to tell us how we did each year via our Voice of the Customer program. Our star ratings and comments from families come directly from these surveys.

"Our arrangements were made during the COVID-19 pandemic. We knew we were facing heavy restrictions of social distancing and the limited number of family and friend attendees. Regardless of the situation, I was not rushed. The staff was amazing. We were allowed to follow our program, we were able to release doves and balloons. There was absolutely no pressure., no rush. The family was permitted a very reasonable amount of time.. I felt like the Homegoing turned out way better than I had anticipated to say the least especially during times were facing a lot of unknowns. I really appreciate that day of rest for my son. I can't thank you all enough. God bless"

"David and Skyline made a difficult time as stress free as possible. They were so kind and caring and that meant the world to us. They also made sure that we were able to hold the service when we needed and that was also such a blessing. We are eternally grateful for all of their help and support."

"Janelle our counselor there was knowledgeable, organized, respectful and easy to work with. We scheduled a catered reception on-site after the graveside ceremony and due to inclement weather the formal part of the service was moved indoors without an issue. Lisa Diamond the GM was present before the ceremony/service ensuring her team had everything set up timely. The caterer from the cemetery was professional and would highly recommend them. Very thankful!"
