Jessica Lambert and the whole McGann team involved with our recent funeral on Thursday, March 4. Thanks again for all you did to make my Dad’s celebration so memorable. He would be super proud!!
Working with someone like you (17 years experience), who is so passionate about your job and helping families at a most difficult time, has been an amazing experience. Your (and your firms’) reputation for more intimate, hands on/high touch funeral services were on display immediately when two catholic parish funeral coordinators recommended you so highly.
You were truly a trusted advisor and made

A parent was cremated here. The man who answers the phone was rather cold in reference to my questions and also seemed defensive regarding cost of getting a death certificate for my Mother. Definitely felt like I was bothering him. Eventually he just referred me to the county where I found the certificates are cheaper. I hope he was more compassionate with my family when they were handling the cremation. I would not pick this funeral home for any of my family needs.
