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.

"The funeral director, Jessica, was extremely helpful and patient with me during the whole process. She took the time necessary to fully explain the procedures that were to be followed to make everything as painless as possible for me. I could not have been more content and would highly recommend Nickerson."
