The staff is awesome! Chris was the first one we talked to, he helped us with setting up the arrangements, casket, church, and cemetery for my mother in law. Sue guided us through the viewing Friday night and the whole day Saturday, from the funeral home to the church, and then to the cemetery. There was also another lady working Friday night, I dont recall her name, but she also helped us tremendously, making sure we were okay and ensuring us that our mom would be okay overnight
