The funeral director, Larry Pushard, is incredibly helpful and reliable. He has served our community in many different ways and I felt confident he was handling all arrangements with respect and care. I especially appreciated that he returned calls promptly, was always on time, and addressed all of my concerns and questions. He made a very difficult time a bit easier. I also appreciated the other staff members who were polite, friendly, and helpful.
