"Benjamin Craddock was amazing during the entire process. His words of encouragement were appreciated. He was so helpful and reassuring. Joseph Ward was so accommodating and helpful also. It was such a relief to know that our loved one was being taken care of in such a professional manner. Our loss was extremely sad but Lloyd James made our experience worry free and allowed us to savor the moments of being together. We have had so many compliments on the way our loved one looked and the funeral service. Thank you!"
