Thank you to Kerry Funeral Home for the beautiful memorial service for my father, Armin Muth. The Kerry Team is very compassionate and gave Mom Judith as much time with as she needed to get through this process. My sister Pamela was able to set out so many precious memories in the viewing parlor to enhance an already beautiful room. Thank you again Kerry for all you do during a very difficult time!!!

We had my grandmothers funeral there and the morning of the funeral we had another death in our immediate family. Mike was so accomodating In getting the funeral postponed and making other arrangements for the family on a very short notice. They are professional, compassionate and go above and beyond.

There are not enough good things I could say about Mike and the Kerry family, and Joyce for being so helpful and making a difficult situation so simple for us to go through. They are kind and caring and will go out of their way to help you with anything you need. They really do everything with their whole heart and it shows.
