(We had never spoken to them before and knew no one there.) Tom took our call, provided us guidance and offered his assistance to get us through a difficult time.

I doubt that anyone is going to do comparison shopping of funeral homes at the time that they need one, but if you did compare, I know you'd end up with these folks.
