My wifes family has trusted Jerry with their funeral needs for many many years. He's a very compassionate man and a man of integrity. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who has this need. And I love the fact I'm doing business with a neighbor. Support your local businesses please.

Jerry and his son did a unbelievable job! Being out of state, Jerry arranged for transportation and for a Presbyterian minister who did an excellent job! Jerry not only made sure everything was taken care of, he stayed after to make sure my Nanny was placed in her mausoleum. I will be forever grateful for his kindness and professionalism during this difficult time! God truly called him to this profession for us, the families. God Bless this man and his family!! Thank you Jerry!!! - Mary Janes Family
