In addition to the services we offer, you will receive an online memorial that you can share with family and friends.

When planning a service, you have many options available to you and we will do all that we can to provide a beautiful and respectful ceremony. No matter your choice, we can offer you a space to join with family and friends in grief, comfort and love. And above all, we will do our utmost to honor your loved one.
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
Meaningful memorialization of a loved one's passing can transform, heal, and comfort us. It highlights our loved ones' sacrifices, reminds us of the things that they value, and inspires us with their life stories. Have the Talk of a Lifetime, a program created by The Funeral and Memorial Information Council, was designed to help families have meaningful conversations about the things that matter most in their lives.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.

Awful! Out of respect for my family I did not speak out and make it worse. I regret not speaking out at the time. My cousin was judged because of his tattoos. My dead cousin was disrespected and we were literally told that there is NO way he could go to heaven unless his very last words were to GOD. He actually said that some probably did love him in spite of what he looked like This man needed knocked down. How could he be so judgmental during this time of grief. And of course he rushed the whole event. I wish I could give a negative 5 star.

Absolutely terrible bed side manner. Made remarks to my family memeber when she was saying her last goodbyes "you know she can't hear you, right?". Also was talking about payments loud enough that the whole family in the viewing room could hear it. At the cemetery it seemed like he was conducting business with another family as they handed off a white envelope to him and he handed them something in return, none of my family knew who they were. Extremely disrespectful and ignorant. Just glad my grandmother is at peace now.

Absolutely horrible!!! My sister, who set up her arrangements through this place, did not look at all like her when he was done. Way too much make up. My other sister and I were horrified. He was disrespectful of all if our family's wishes. At the cemetery he had the casket lowered while​ we were all still present, even after asking him not to do so. He made a difficult time much worse. I wish there was negative rating system. I am glad I will never have to go back there again. Find someone else!
