Report
My aunt's condition was deteriorating and was referred to hospice. The hospice team provided us a list of providers for the family to make final arrangements. Upon calls and interviews to a few, Allen Bros. stood apart in providing much detailed information and a real sense of caring. On top of that, they provided me excellent information in processing the details of the contract and services, as they are in San Diego and I am on the east coast. I would recommend them to anyone who requires their services.
