Highly recommend this company. Excellent service. Caring, compassionate, respectful. Explained the process clearly and answered all our questions. Efficient, kept us up to date with the process and sent out reminders when I needed to be doing something but I never felt harassed. All the staff before the funeral & during were professional & caring.
