I am grateful for the kindness, patience, and reverence of the people who assisted with my grandmother's recent funeral. Both my grandparents have had services here, and the funeral home is a warm and comfortable space with private areas to mourn and decompress. But most notably, it is a special moment they created for our family that I'd like to acknowledge. During the funeral procession, they led the vehicles past my grandmother's old home, and our family noticed this unexpected and meaningful gesture. This demonstrated deep understanding and care.

Stegall-Berheide-Orr recently took care of my father's funeral. They helped me prearrange his funeral two years ago. When he passed they took care of everything and helped me and my family with support and keeping his wishes for his funeral. SBO has taken care of several of my family members over the years. They have always done an outstanding job. If you are unsure of who to use for your family in a time of need, choose Stegall-Berheide-Orr.
