I wish I could give them more stars. They are phenomenal. Even during COVID, the planning and preparations were painless and simple. It was exactly the type of service my father-in-law would have wanted. Thank you Michael and staff.

Very disrespectful service for my grandmother. They dressed her in the wrong dress and posed her wrong. My family still agues amongst ourselves because of their service. They charge a lot and offer little. With the little reach we will achieve in this review, do not go here. And if you do, don't choose Ian.

Absolutely no compassion. On Friday at 3:00 p.m. of the long weekend we had a death in the family and staff wanted to leave to go home without talking with us. They said they were closed at 5:00. After coming back on the Tuesday they told us we could not have the funeral for a week. Went somewhere else where they cared.
