"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"
