We used Melson Funeral Services for my Dads arrangements and they were excellent. They assisted us through the entire process and provided the needed direction with patience, grace and understanding. We could not be happier with how things went. We did my Dad proud, much to the credit of Melson Funeral Services.
The entire staff at Melsons were incredibly supportive and patient in helping my sister and family make arrangements after the untimely death of my brother in law last week. Doug and Mary went out of their way to listen and be available to all of us, no concern or question was too small. The entire staff at Melsons was fantastic and we thank you for making Rick's service exactly what my sister wanted.
The Melson's Funeral home did an outstanding job with our parents service. Both of our parents died within eleven days of each other this past Christmas. Like this wasn't enough heartach, then we had the blizzard and had to postpone the service. I was calling thier man Doug daily, all hours. He even went in one evening to change our parents service day on Melson's web site. Special thanks to Doug! He was so kind and professional throughout the process. I speak for our Family, we highly recommend Melson's. B.Bryson
