Kari was extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire process. She was patient and offered assistance and suggestions as needed. Having not gone through this process before, she was very reassuring and supportive of our feelings, needs, and desires for the appropriate services and products. She is efficient and timely in her work. I would highly recommend Kari and the Arpp, Root & Carter Funeral home!

I want to thank everyone at Arpp and Root & Carter so much for my father's funeral. They thought of everything for us. You aren't always thinking clear at a time like loosing a parent. With them we didn't have to. I'll never be able to thank them enough. ❤️❤️

The director is genuinely kind & thorough. When unforseen circumstances occurred during the planning she handled everything professionally. She even absorbed some of the cost when the insurance policy didn't pay out as much as it was suppose to. The funeral homes atmosphere was nice with a good sized viewing room. This is a family owned & operated funeral home & the service really represented that fact.

My family are very grateful and thankful for Arpp, Root, and Carter for all of their services in our unexpected time of need. Kari is very friendly, compassionate, empathetic, and will go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. They provided great care to my brother, I know he himself would have been more than satisfied! It was helpful to know we could call and text and have all of our questions and concerns heard and answered. They will most definitely receive future business with my family!!! I will be forever grateful!!!!! Thank you Kari and all of the staff for what you do!!!!
