Report
It seems odd to be giving a funeral home 5 stars, but Adam Glenn and Gordon Memorial made a very difficult day easier. Adam responded promptly and with compassion. He did not try to upsell us on anything and we never even paid a bill until after my father's funeral. This is unheard of in this industry. He figured things out when the transport for my dad went wrong and anticipated our every need. Adam and Gordon Memorial are exemplary in every way.
