Report
Just had the worst experience at a viewing. It seems that they are a bit unethical in there caring of family. It seems there was going to be a buriel of my cousin on Thursday morning & it was kept from some of the immediate family by Doug. Everyone knew about it except 5 of us who are family & Knights went along with it even after being asked if there was a family burial. No way to treat a family.
