Kendal and K’lee did such an amazing job in helping my family honor my mother. They were thoughtful in everything they did for us. They were very welcoming, accommodating, respectful and very involved throughout the process. They made sure the process of saying goodbye to my mother was seamless. I cannot thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us!

On 1/16/2025 Brooke Diederich had this to say:
I just finished working with K’Lee on a service for my brother. We had several things come up and she was amazing. She was always available and found a way to accommodate every request that we had. She also lead the service and it couldn’t have went better. I had only ever been to the other funeral home in town and this building was also much nicer. It has a more modern feel. I felt like this helped people relax and most people stayed for the whole visitation and service. We are very happy to have had such a good experience during such a difficult time. Thank you again.

On 4/23/2023 Billy Krumwiede had this to say:
Dealing with having to plan a funeral is stressful enough and these folks take all the stress and worry out of it. They empathize and are ready to assist you in any way. Also very affordable and work to get you the best for your budget. Super nice as well! Highly recommend!
