Nobody enjoys a funeral service, but we all know it comes a time when one is needed. Alan Core funeral home did a wonderful job for my family. Alan was very nice and comforting to our family. He was patiant and listened to our family wants, and gave practical advice. Unlike other funeral homes, Alan didn't try to up sale or charge us any hidden fee's. The services he provided was well prepared and went along very smoothly. I have no complaints and recommend this funeral home.

Mr. Core is such a humble amazing leader in the community. He makes you feel at home when it comes to tough situations such as making arrangements. He makes sure its not about what's best for him but what's best for the people and accommodating them. He has a great facility that can accommodate a large family, ample parking space, prayer room etc. I would def recommend coming here in your time of need because the arrangements are that much easier with everything being in one place.
