John Humes the owner has no business running a funeral home. He is rude and aggressive. Swore at us, belittled us and turned the lights off on because it was 8:10. Asking us to leave isn't an issue. But yelling and making fun of my uncles accent. The whole end of the service was ruined because John didn't have enough decency to ask us to leave with respect. Everything could have been handled totally different but sorry my family doesn't take being disrespected. We will speak up for ourselves and he's such a child that he couldn't think in his small mind that we were highly

Okay, it's a funeral home. I give it 4 stars because it was in a very convenient location, easy access to main streets, visible from the main streets, ample parking, clean, and they work with family to provide a lovely service. You cannot ask more from a funeral home.

My father-in-law passed away. Durning such a horrible time, this place did make the arrangements a lot easier on you. We delt with Robert. What a wonderful person. During the wake, we ending up staying almost 2 hours after closing. He never once implied or mentioned anything (about when we'd be leaving) even though I know his wife was calling expecting him to be home. Robert just wanted us to take our time. Afterwards, he told my family about the healing steps for grieving. He also extened an ear if we wanted to talk. Everything was beyond my expectations. For such an awful time...this place did
