Unfortunately my family has had to use their services 3 times in the last 2yrs and they were so kind and understanding. Jennifer was so nice to us each and everytime. Thank you for making this portion as easy as possible for grieving families.

My mother passed away from COVID-19 in July, Trinity took care of my mothers services, in regards to cremation, and released the remains to another family member before receiving payment for her services. However, once Trinity received my mothers insurance policy, they released the remaining funds to another family member, who was not listed as a beneficiary- I was. After speaking to the director, she confirmed the remaining funds would be dispensed to a non-beneficiary, which is against the law. Its amazing how a professional business like this would deliberately go against the wishes

This place is completely cold and unprofessional. My fiance suddenly passed away from hogkins lymphoma, unexpectedly on May 9th this year. He was 34 and nobody knew he was sick until it was too late. His mother and I are not familiar with any of this process, nor are we in the proper frame of mind to be yelled at, interrupted, or belittled. There is a rude employee there named Jennifer. She used inapropriate educate when she unsympatheticly lost her temper and raised her voice at my mother in law. Then she did it again to me when I called, three days later. It's almost like we are trapped in a

Trinity is affordable and their staff is professional! Everything was explained to us ahead of time. When my mother-in-law passed and was to be picked up, the gentleman who came for her was very respectful and sensitive to our feelings. He was gentle with her and with us. We appreciated this so much since we were heartbroken. The whole process was seamless and helped reduce our stress during a very emotional time. We recommend Trinity Funeral Services. Thank you!

Jennifer was so easy to work with. Deciding what to do with your loved ones remains when they hadnt left instructors can be difficult. Jennifer was very direct and straightforward in explaining our options and the costs involved. Everything went smoothly and there were no surprises or hidden fees. It was a comfort during our time of mourning to work with someone who knows their business so well. My only critique is that it wasnt clear from the website that we should have made an appointment before going to the office.
