Ascension Funeral Home delivered professional and compassion service. After my mother passed away I was apprehensive about going to the funeral home to make the final arrangements. I felt comfortable that I could trust them to care of the details. Mr. Cole went above and beyond expectations by delivering paperwork to our house. They truly made a dreadful situation into a pleasant business decision.

When my mother passed away, it was very overwhelming in many ways, but Ascension Funeral Home made it as bearable as possible for us. They worked hard to stay in our limited budget and were very knowledgeable. Pete especially was very helpful and genuine. I would highly recommend this business to anyone in need of their services. You will not be disappointed. Wish I could give them 10 stars! Thanks again!

Wishing I could give more then 5 stars. My mother passed away in July from cancer. From the first call they took care of us. Gave us important information of what to expect and prepare for. Since this was during Covid Mr. Pete came to my house the day after my mothers passing and walked us through all the paperwork for cremation. Kept in touch with us up until the day he delivered my mothers ashes to our home. They followed up with us just to make sure our family was ok. Best choice we could have made during this time in our lives. Personal care from the start.
