My father recently passed away, and we chose Foster's for his cremation. Bryan Foster, Dawn Adam's,…read moreand all of the staff at Foster's that we spoke to were very kind, compassionate, and made what was a very painful experience feeling a little better. First, we met with Mr. Foster personally to discuss my dad's wishes and arrangements. He didn't rush us. He answered all of our questions, and he shared stories of his own that showed us he understood our grief and that he was there for us. Dawn Adam's checked on us during my dad's viewing and made sure we had everything that we needed. Secondly, Foster's also has MUCH more affordable options than the other funeral homes in the area. I know cost isn't everything, especially when it comes to saying goodbye to a loved one, but Foster met all of our family's needs at a cost which we could afford. Nobody ever wants to need funeral or cremation, but if you do, Foster's will treat you and your loved ones with dignity, respect, and care.

More importantly, the team went above and beyond to take care of our family at a time when we needed guidance most. They guided me through options, had recommendations for other services, were patient and comforting in helping with remains and planning. Then they actually stopped by the house when I requested special assistance. I really appreciate everything they did to help. Update: Grace completely saved me a second time with my mom's passing and cremation as well. So patient and compassionate. Cannot recommend enough.

To be honest, I have not experienced a funeral hosted by Grace. I have however been on a tour of…read moretheir facilities numerous times for different events. The first time I walked in, was to give the owner some information about a local event happening in our area. I have to admit, I was mostly indifferent about stepping foot in a funeral and cremation service establishment. As I walked in I let out a deep breath. It was BEAUTIFUL inside. The minute you step foot in the door, you feel a wave of calm wash over you. Maybe they practice feng shui, I have no idea. What made an impression on me next were the owners. The owners are young, upbeat, friendly, and very welcoming. They introduced themselves, and then Kristan, (one of the owners) took me on a tour of their facility. I was impressed by all of the different options they had. They can create custom blankets, blown glass jewelry, and different types of earns based on the connections they have in the industry. There is quite the variety of caskets to choose from as well. They have everything from your traditional caskets to eco-friendly caskets that are biodegradable. They pretty much can accommodate any individual personality. They even do pet funerals. Grace Funeral has made quite the impression on me.
