Heather and Kali, were great! They were understanding of my emotions, knowledgeable about all of the next steps after my grandmother's passing, helpful in answering any and all of my questions, gentle in their delivery of information that we needed to discuss (steps, options, pricing, etc). They never once made me feel pressured to buy anything I didn't want, which was refreshing. They both made me feel comfortable reaching out, even when I know I was probably more needy of their time than other clients. Their response time to phone calls and emails was prompt and much appreciated.

We would rate Weeks' Dryer Mortuary five+ stars. Katey, Kali, Dan and the staff at Weeks' Dryer Mortuary are wonderful. We unexpectedly lost our 38 year old son. After talking with Katey, we were very confident that Weeks' Dryer Mortuary would be able to provide the type of service that we wanted for our family and friends. We were not disappointed. Katey and Kali were our go-to people. They were so patient and understanding. They made helpful suggestions that got us through this very difficult time. They saw to our every need; even the needs we didnt know that we had. The loss of a loved

Katey & Kali made the difficult task of laying my mother to rest a warm and personal experience. They treated me and my brother professionally, but thoughtfully and with kindness. Highly recommend their services.

Weeks' Dryer responded immediately to our needs when my mother-in-law passed. Katey was not only compassionate, she did not attempt to sell us services that we did not request. Their prices were much more reasonable than other mortuaries we contacted. We highly recommend them.
