Mitchells Funeral home was there for me and my family from beginning to end AND even afterwards. The staff there were friendly and caring and kept me up to date on EVERYTHING that was happening with my mom while I was in another state. Even after the funeral I have received cards from them for specials occasions to help remember my mother after her passing. They were also very helpful and accommodating when caring for my grandmother.
