Eric Bell went above and beyond to be there for our family at one of the worst times imaginable. He was highly responsive and always got back to us immediately, even after we booked services with him. He doesnt just do that in the initial stages to get your business. He is consistently there when needed and this is a time where time is of the essence. He turned a stressful situation into one that was less so. Most of the time we have to worry about people taking advantage of us or ripping us off but Eric was very honest. There were no surprises. Everything happened as he said they would. We

I recently experienced the sudden loss of a loved one. Our family was left with many questions and no real sense of direction. Instantly Eric Bell stepped in to help with all facets of our loss. His calm and caring nature assured us during this difficult time. He was always available to answer questions or give trusted advice. He handled all aspects of the death and memorial services. He guided us through each step, knowing what to say and how best to handle everything. The memorial service exceeded all expectations due to his experience and knowledge. More importantly, the level of compassion

Eric and the staff at David A. Hall Mortuary did a fantastic job taking care of my family during the unexpected passing of my brother in 2017. He was attentive, helpful, and extraordinarily understanding of our very challenging and unique needs during our time of grief. Eric is always participating in community events and aims to provide high caliber service to all families while paying attention to individual need. 10/10 would recommend.
