When my fiance and I unexpectedly lost our baby boy due to IC on May 15th, we had no clue where to even begin with the whole process of cremation. We were given the recommendation of Dugan based on their levels… of compassion and empathy and great care in dealing with parents who lost a baby. From the moment our boy Flynn was picked up at the hospital for us, until a few days later when a donation was made in his name and memory to Sweet Grace Ministries, I can assure you that the Dugan's REALLY care!! They put in effort to help us find the matching blanket set our boy was cremated in and

Very helpful caring and genuine. The process of preparing a service for a loved one is never easy. Mr. Dugan is very knowledgeable. This will be my second endeavor requiring his services. Thank you Mr. Dungan.

Allen and Kitty did a wonderful job in helping me plan my husband's funeral. They were caring and compassionate and guided me through every step of the process. Their only concern was making sure that I had everything I needed to give my husband the proper service. And the care they gave in helping my son understand all that was going on made it much easier for him to handle.
