DONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE. I met with Jonathon Murphy early in November after the sudden passing of a family member. He was able to meet with me the same day and hash out all of our arrangements quickly. He was available to answer any and all of my questions like he was my brother. I know that this is a very difficult time for people, but I cant tell you how much I appreciated his honesty and caring personality. The service was top notch, flowers were amazing it was just such a special day and having someone so calm and understanding let me and my family relax and and truly enjoy this difficult

Like all of the previous 5 star reviews, we absolutely recommend Murphy and Son's, also. After our friend's untimely death, we started with pricing from the cemetery's funeral home option. Murphy and Son's was 1/2 the price with the same amenities. Jonathan answered my many questions professionally, usually calling back within minutes. The day of the funeral, at the church and graveside, he and their staff were attentive, calm, thoughtful and ready to attend whatever needs we had. Their approach to our time of need was impeccable. We could not recommend them more highly.

Murphy & Sons Funeral Home has excellent customer service. Jonathan was very sincere and accommodating. My father passed away unexpectedly, but planning the viewing and funeral services with them was so smooth. The actual viewing and funeral services in the beautiful Historic Sacred Heart Chapel with a Catholic Mass was amazing. Thank you so much Murphy & Sons Funeral Home!

Murphy & Sons helped me make arrangements for my Father when he passed. Although it was a difficult time, Jonathan and Edward made it a little bit easier. They were very attentive and helpful and they didn't hesitate to assist my family. Their prices for burials are also more economical from what I've seen from similar funeral homes and they really do go above and beyond with their service. What I really liked was the ability to contact Jonathan via text at any time of the day even after they were closed if I had any questions. If you're looking for an affordable yet quality funeral home, I suggest
