My family had a service done there last year and they did a great job on my sister and nephew. It's clean and fairly priced. Thanks Lenny.

We recently had services performed by Serenity Funeral Home and were extremely satisfied. Jack was very compassionate and was able to help us find the options that allowed us to honorably put to rest our family member on a limited budget. The chapel was nicely decorated and very clean. The staff were super helpful and respectful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience considering the circumstances.

I wish that I could give Lenny and his team more than 5 stars because they deserve a million. My daughter, Angela Molden, was murdered and had severe damage to her face so I was told by many people that saw the damage that an open casket would definitely NOT be an option. I agreed with those people but my 3 other children were adamant about having an open casket service so they could have the closure that they desperately needed. Against my better judgment I had an open casket service and I must say that I'm grateful we did because Angela looked like an angel. My daughters said her sister looked

The experience with Leonard Dunn and Associates was as good as it could possibly be given the situation. They were very kind and made the funeral as affordable as possible. I would recommend them to anyone.

I can't speak highly enough about the services we received from the staff at Serenity. From the initial call with Jack down to completing the final details with Crystal, everyone on staff is amazing. Mr. Leonard is extremely nice and comforting and so is Ms. Dina at the desk. They made a very painful experience go smoothly and with minimal stress. My mom had a couple of emotional outbursts with the staff and they remained professional and still went out of their way to help us in every way they could. We live in New Orleans and took a 50 min drive to Covington so that we could use this company
