I am beyond grateful to Billow Funeral Home and Crematory for the care, support, and attention to detail that they provided my sister and her family. We lost my 8-year-old nephew in a house fire and Billows step up and took care of my sister, her ex-husband, and family. If you are in need of funeral services I highly recommend Billows. Thank you

Can not say enough good things about Chip, Nathanael, Stacy and their entire team of caregivers! They listen intently to what each family wants for their loved one...and work diligently to ensure every detail is attended to so we can all have the lasting memories we need to manage our own grief. Highly recommend!!

My father passed away a few weeks ago and Nathanael and the whole Billow's staff were so compassionate and warm. They are true professionals and treated us with kindness and respect. There are a lot of logistics to consider when a loved one dies, but Billow's made the process smooth so we had one less thing to worry about. I recommend Billow's very highly.

My dear husband passed away February 8, 2016, we knew it was going to happen and had arrangements prearranged with Billow, but I was still a raw, fresh, grieving, 46 year old widow....the people I dealt with at Billow were so compassionate and understanding, I will never forget them for how they took care of me. Thank you so much Billow Family
