Robert Taylor was a tremendous help. He came to the house when my mom passed. He eased my dad's worries and answered every question in an understanding and calming demeanor. The day we met Robert to set up the funeral arrangements he was once again great. His answers were "we will take care of that for you" and "we can do what ever makes you feel at peace." He even went with us that day to pick out a plot at the cemetery. We were told by someone that there are only 2 people they know who does that (Robert being one of them). He is also helping my dad with a headstone as well. The funeral home itself is gorgeous! The inside is huge. There are plenty of side areas and also a small coffee area. The landscaping is well manicured. Everybody there was courteous and helpful as well. I have dealt with Nancy Duskas in the past and always liked her. We didn't deal with her personally this time, but during the funeral she payed her respects. Very classy. After all that we thought their work was done. We were wrong. Robert shows up at my dad's house with the bed sheet and 2 towels (that were with my mom) laundered. All the flowers. A book of all the flowers photographed and who they were from. They also gave us the guest book that had the names of the people who payed respects as well as a "Family Record" of the people related to my mom. My dad was so impressed, he is going to get his funeral arranged here as well. Thanks again Robert.

As Jason described in a previous review; Robert did all that for my family also. He is one of the kindest, compassionate, trust worthy people I have EVER dealt with. I cannot say enough good about this man. You will not be sorry you trusted your loved ones final arrangements to Robert. He will forever hold a special place in my life.

I can not explain to anyone the exemplary services offered by Jeannie. I realize that some may find…read moreit strange to "review" your funeral home but for those who have coped with the loss of a dear loved one it really is not so strange. When my mom passed i had no idea who to call for the services of handling my moms final wishes but Jeannie is an old family friend so I instantly blurted her name out. When a loved one passes it is comparable to your family garage. You may never have had to use them but it is the one you are familiar with and from what you have heard they do good work. I am not comparing the death of a loved one to having a vehicle repaired, only the service offered. I can tell you that I've never experienced having to plan for the final preparations of a loved one. Its not something anyone is prepared for. Well anyone except Jean. I thought it was going to be hard and I would have to do alot of work and make alot of decisions. That is not the case. I feel even more so with Jean. She handled everything. Clearly and respectfully. And her voice is just so calm and soothing. She was always available for my calls and walked me through every step of this process. I recall one phone call when I was "freaking out" entirely and she said simply "dont worry yourself about that, this is what i do". Those words helped take so much weight off my shoulders. Knowing I have an ally that knows why they are doing because at a time like this only your funeral director has that knowledge. She has helped me immensely through this transition of life. If your loved one has not chosen their wishes for themselves please call Jeannie. She and her husband Rick know what they are doing and can help you through this phase. The hardest part.

The problem is with the headstone engraving, which was included in the package she purchased. In June of 2022, about 20 months after my mom passed, we noticed that the date of death was never engraved on the headstone. I called the funeral home 2 times in two weeks. When I didn't hear back from them, I left a message that I would be contacting The Better Business Bureau. That day, I received a call from Mark. After a few texts back and forth, he forwarded me a copy of an email from the engraver stating that the headstone would be completed by 9/4/2022, possibly before that. He also told me that he would be specifically staying on them for this item. Since I didn't hear from him, on 9/7/2022 I texted to check on the status. I got no response. The next day I texted him again stating that since I hadn't heard from him, I was assuming the headstone was still not completed and would be contacting the BBB and leaving comments on review boards. I heard back immediately from him stating he was out of the office yesterday and would follow up on this matter. It has been 2 years since my mom passed. I don't think it's asking too much for my mom to get what she paid for.
