It is strange to write a review on the team who served my family's funerals and it is even harder to explain that regardless of the pain and loss "Little-Ward Funeral Home" staff made all preparations a smooth, easy transition because of the high level of respect with which they handled all services involved. Additionally, as odd as it may sound I was grateful for the quality of skill preparing the body. True Professionals.

Everyone at the funeral home was extremely nice and helpful throughout the planning process. Our funeral director was Kenny Jacobs.

He guided us through the entire process, had excellent attention to detail, and balanced his kindness, compassion, and humor in a respectful way.
