Everything was beautiful! The Viss Family funeral team was extremely empathetic and very accommodating to all of our requests. My Mother was very peaceful and beautiful.

My dad (a veteran) had the most beautiful service, thanks to Ronnie. He was extremely patient with my family and I, he answered and explained any questions we had. He did everything to my familys liking and truly cares about his clients and their relatives. He helped us contact the VA and the cemetery to make the arrangements. We called many funeral homes, but I felt very welcomed at this one. I really appreciate everything they have done for my family.
