My first experience with planning a funeral and Harris Funeral Home made the process seamless. They understand everything that needs to be done to notifying social security to arranging for the Honor Guard at the cemetery. Rick and the entire staff took good care of my father. They were at all times professional and conducted themselves with grace and dignity. My father would have been beyond pleased. I along with my sisters and brother are thankful to them in helping us plan this funeral to meet our needs. Highly recommend Harris Funeral Homes. Thank you!!!!

The staff at the Harris funeral home was right there by your side from the very beginning.
They took a very upsetting and confusing situation, guided us through every step, making sure that we too were OK along the way and that we did not miss important details necessary to give our loved one a truly beautiful and honorable funeral service.
They are extremely patient, caring and compassionate individuals and we appreciate everything they did for us!

Our daughter Kristin had passed and Harris funeral home helped us through the whole process. We met with David Shaw and he was very compassionate. It was a difficult time but David help us get through it. He is very knowledgeable and was willing to accommodate us any way he could. I had people comment on what a class act Harris funeral home was. My mother and father were laid out at Harris so we were confident that we were in good hands. Thank you to the Harris family for your help.

We really appreciate all of the detailed, caring, respectful and thoughtful services that Dave and his team provided from the minute we walked in and throughout the entire process. It was all very overwhelming and emotional for us but they handled it all. I am sure our mom was smiling at how beautiful everything was. Thank you for all you did during this difficult time.

Dave Shaw arranged my wife's service and family center reception with the utmost professionalism and dignity. Everything at HARRIS was perfect and far exceeded our expectations. While we as a family are very saddened, our experience with HARRIS made us feel better and we are,sure that our beloved Mary would have liked it.

Paul W. Funeral Home was amazing. They are very
caring and make the process as easy as possible. My grand-daughter passed away and they were so amazing during it all. They even helped with finding a cemetery and getting price quotes for us. Their attention to detail is amazing. During the funeral they took care of everything, from transporting our balloons to the cemetery for a balloon launch, contacting the cemetery to make sure the balloon launch was ok. While we were at the cemetery they brought all the pictures, flowers and decorations over to the family center for our luncheon and spent the

We were very pleased with the care and presentation of my beloved aunt. She appeared as she did in life which brought us great comfort. Each employee we encountered treated us with respect and, above all, kindness during an emotionally devastating time. Their attention to detail, transparent pricing and billing and, coordination of services during COVID, made for a smooth wake and funeral. I highly recommend Paul W. Harris Funeral Home.
