Report
I'm so sad that the days of excellence are gone from this old establishment. With a complete change of staff and ownership came the downfall of a long legacy of top shelf service. I remember how funeral arrangements services would flow seamlessly and now it's like recovery from a train wreck that keeps happening over and over. With the equipment to really make services special they roll out a tv on a stand to show family slide shows. It's like they decided to go from the 21st century back to 1960 in every way except their hospitality. The staff barely know what they are doing
