"Everyone we met at Skyline was kind and caring. When we made the advance arrangements, we were given all the options, but staff did not pressure us to buy more than what we wanted. When it came time to use the pre-arranged services, one phone call initiated transportation and cremation, and everything went according to plan. The cemetery made it

very easy for the family."
