Our family had a wonderful experience with Gerry and Dian. It was easy to talk to them about the details of the arrangements we made. They genuinely cared about us; they were kind and nonjudgemental; they were supportive and patient with us even when asked the same questions. Not only do they have impeccable people skills, they have top notch professional and technical skills. They are able to take care of any type of arrangement you decide on. Their ability to live stream the service and upload the service to their website predates the pandemic. Gerry also helped me put together our video tribute

Thank you for being so kind when I lost my family dog after 15 wonderful years. We had her cremated. They were professional and helped me let go knowing she is going to be well taken care of.

Id like to say first they they did a great job when my nephew passed...but now when my brother passed we went with another company for the cremation and apparently that made them angry because he passed in January and it is now May and his plaque has yet to be placed up on the mausoleum next to his son. This was all pre paid back in 2002 when my nephew passed. Myself, my mother and my other brother have called several times and we are always told they are going to look into it and call us back but we never get the call. This is if they even pick up the phone. The situation is hard enough especially

Thankfully I have not needed them for anybody in my life but they have been there for both of my puppies. They are very compassionate and sensitive to the loss of these love of mine. I know that they will take great care of the cremation. I would not use anybody else in that time of need. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart and my family's.

I cannot immagine any funeral home that is ran better than Montgomery &Steward. Unfortunately , I have to use them on several occasions. Each and every time, the arrangements were handled perfectly and professionally. I cannot give them high enough praise. Thank you to the entire, compassionate, professional staff.
