We had my grandmother's funeral here last year. The staff were all very kind, considerate, and compassionate. I think it takes a special type of person to work in the funeral business and all of the staff here went above and beyond. In addition to hosting a lovely funeral, my employer needed a letter from the funeral home to excuse my absence for bereavement purposes which they provided. No one wants to need a funeral home, but when you do need one, I highly recommend O'Donnell funeral home.
