A close friend of me and The Doctor's had his dad's memorial here. Marsh Funeral Home itself looks more like a home or restaurant than a place to honor your loved ones passing. Not sure why, but guessing it was due to seeing the gazebo and the fact that is a wood frame building. There is a nice sized parking lot and what looked to be accessible street parking. On initial glance the overall appearance was one of decent looking, clean facility. We got there 30 minutes before the service and saw a separate room set up with food, drinks and coffee for the attendees. The Doctor and I stopped in to get a drink of water and to hang out, but we were unaware that the start time had been moved up 30 minutes. A gentleman with the home saw us in the room and kindly let us know that the service was starting. He was also the initial speaker, calling folks up to speak about our friend's dad. The room was set up nicely, but I will say this is the first time I have seen standing party table in a room. Because the family is Irish Catholic, my first thought was adult beverages were being serve...HAHAHAHAHA! But no, they were not. Guess they had the tables for people to stand around as there was no food or drink allowed in the room. The room was pretty big, guessing it could seat 200 without the tables being in there. The video montage was nice but wasn't sure if that was something the home did or the family, but it looked good all the same. There was a nice speaker and PA system in the room, although some folks did not use the mic, but we could still here them. Marsh also allows you to bring in your own AV equipment. There was a small monitor in the room set up for refreshments with a video on it. I assumed that it was theirs, but after the service, one of the family members came and disconnected it and took it to his car. The bathroom was old, but very clean. That gave away the age of the place, but it looked like was maintained, just needs to be update a bit. Not completely sure what the gazebo is used for, maybe events happen there when the weather is nice.

She told us that she would put him first on the list and she called us hours later to pick up his ashes and made paw prints for us and one for our daughter. We know we left our dog in the best possible hands he could have been in. Thank you so very much for your love and comfort during this difficult time for us. You truly are amazing.

I cannot thank Matthew enough for everything he did. This funeral home is definitely the best in the area, highly recommend it.
