This review took me some time because I wanted to give authentic wording for this review. My grandmother's funeral was in April and I realize there are no words great enough to describe Mr. Paul's kind demeanor. The colonial family made a sad occasion joyful by keeping everything professional and showing empathy and sympathy. My grandmother's funeral was such a celebration that family members and friends are still reaching out to me about how modest she looked even during expiration. Again I need to highlight that Paul is such a professional he knows people and he understands what the hardship of burial can be like, he's truly not in this business for money and he truly cares about the people. He made this day so joyful and stress-free, I would recommend this funeral home to any and everyone.
