I attended a wake/funeral today. The services Edward’s funeral company provided were atrocious no respect for the family and friends there to grieve. Young man continually telling everyone to hurry up, 5 minutes, keep the line moving, no conjuring, and rips the mans picture off the casket. Absolutely disgusting

There are no words to describe how wonderful both Chad and Jill Ryan were at taking care of my mother’s funeral arrangements. Their professionalism, compassion and attention to detail is second to none. My family cannot thank them enough for their help in getting us through the loss of our beloved mother. Thank you.
