Kevin helped connect me with local resources and contacts to carry out some genealogy research involving some family burials in a cemetery in McKean County. He was extraordinarily helpful. Thanks Kevin!

Losing my Mom was the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. Kevin and Patty are your life line when you are going through this difficult time. I’m not sure our family would have made it without them. They are very good at their job. But honestly I don’t think it’s a job to them. It’s their life, helping people through the most difficult days after your loved ones passing.

Kevin and Patty were wonderful. Nothing can make the loss of a loved one easy but having someone there to gently guide you through the necessary details was a huge help. I can't say enough good things about the care and effort they put into helping families through a horrible time in their lives.

I can not recommend this family enough. Kevin and Patty took a heartbreaking time in our lives and made it bearable. They treat your love one and family with respect dignity and compassion. Your family with them. They go above and beyond and DON'T take advantage of you during your time of grief when most aren't thinking clear. We entered in as a business deal and left as family friends. They really do care. Thank you both for everything!

Kevin and Patty made a very difficult situation a little easier. They handled every detail and were there whenever we needed anything. Our grandmother was treated with the greatest dignity and respect and the service was beautiful. Kevin and Patty were such a blessing.
