When my mom died unexpectedly, my sister and I were in uncharted waters. We did not know what to do or where to begin. We were fortunate to have John, Suzanne and their staff to help us through those difficult days. They were kind and patient and calm, just what we needed as we made decisions about the viewing and funeral. They made my mom look her very best, so much like the lovely woman she has always been. We will always be grateful for the support and guidance we received .

He is patient and will discuss all important aspects of the service with you in detail, and his wife is very kind and caring and will

There is no excuse whatsoever to run this type of business and
