I highly recommend Buckland Funeral Home when planning a service for your love one. The staff is very professional from the beginning to the end. Our family never felt rushed or pressured when making decisions and planning a service. The Buckland staff took their time and explained the process with love, and compassion while we were making arrangements for our love ones. Unfortunately our family and friends has used their services on multiple occasions. Every time we used their services it was an excellent experience. The staff was very professional, and understanding, they showed and gave us a

The Buckland family and staff were friendly, compassionate, kind, and professional from start to finish. They handled everything with the sensitivity and ease needed in the difficult area of death. The day we had to come and sign off on documents, select casket, and complete everything was emotionally difficult. However, my brother and I never felt rushed, prodded, or like it was business as usual.
All the logistical items were clear, and they took the time to explain everything in detail. They definitely took our feelings and emotions seriously and that was very much appreciated. Buckland Funeral
