I am very grateful to have been referred to this funeral home. We had two viewings for my mom and her preparation was flawless. They executed everything just as planned. Allison was sweet, sincere and advised me appropriately. Everything I could think of they had it. Thank you

Francis Collins Funeral Home handled my husband's funeral. All the staff, especially Terry, were professional, kind, and understanding. We did a quick funeral, actually 2 days after he passed and they had everything together. The web site was up almost immediately. All questions we had were also handled immediately. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about them and I would highly recommend them.

Extremely professional and most importantly, empathetic and attentive to my family's needs. We worked with Rick, who had the best customer service. He seemed to actually care about the loss of our father and made the planning process very simple--exactly what we needed during this difficult time. He was very attentive to our family's needs and was extremely supportive during the entire process. Definitely recommend.

Collins was great helping us with my mother's funeral. Everyone said Mom looked beautiful and peaceful (she was 98 years old). I was fairly numb that day but they made sure everything was taken care of and that all went smoothly. I would highly recommend them.
