"As stated earlier, I found all the interactions I had with the staff at First Memorial to be very compassionate, comforting, reassuring, and understanding. It takes a very special skill set to deal with a grieving family. The staff at First Memorial helped me navigate through this very painful process with such grace and compassion. I couldn't be more grateful and I thank you for that."

"First Memorial Funeral Services is a good option to use in planning one's future final wishes. My friend prepaid her costs (which she prorated over 36 months) which made the process from death through cremation so smooth. I would encourage everyone to look into this service because it takes away all the emotional decisions at such a deeply sad time. Thank you First Memorial."
