The directors who brought my friend Ruby Green to the National Cemetery were very well dressed and professional in their service. They stood respectfully as the funeral discourse was delivered, and that was appreciated. The white casket looked very nice with the red rose blanket. The same funeral home provided my grandfather's service at the national cemetery.

So incredibly helpful during such a terrible time. Both Rachel and Brian helped guide me through a process that I knew nothing about.
