In my experience -The funeral home is rude, unprofessional and has no empathy. The program was void of any modern abilities. No capability of video recording or live streaming.

If I could rate this place 0/10, I would. They have absolutely no empathy or respect for the mourning process. When you base your business off of sympathy and compassion, this is the bare minimum. My family and I were treated very unkindly. They have also proven to have minimal communication skills. I will not be visiting this place again, nor will I be recommending this place to anyone else.

They are professional and honest. Accommodating. They were the only funeral home that allowed us to do our father funeral on the exact same time we requested. They were honest to refund some money back. Highly recommended
