Beatrice was absolutely wonderful to our family and she made a difficult situation much easier. I would highly recommend Ryan Mortuary and Beatrice to help your family through a very difficult time.

Our family worked with Beatrice to handle our mother's final disposition. She did an excellent job answering our questions, wading through the endless paperwork, and helping iron-out the wrinkles that inevitably happen when dealing with high emotions and input from multiple people. Our family has been using Ryan's for generations and Beatrice represented them excellently. Thank you from the Carter family.

Nice bright and friendly facility in a perfect location. Cris and Ginger caringly and efficiently helped us take care of my brothers arrangements after his unexpected death. Cris kindly offered different options to choose from that worked for our family. We definitely recommend Roselawn to our family and friends.

Last time I was there was September 2005 however I see they have changed ownership so I am commenting on Roselawn from 2003-2006. My dad, my dad's wife, and a very special friend, they were all buried at Roselawn Memorial. I have to say for a funeral home those guys were top of the line. I don't understand why they were not rated much higher(?). So knowledable, courteous, compassionate, and would go the extra mile for those who are left behind by their loved ones passing. I'm sure most funeral homes are knowledgeable BUT my question is this; Do they go the extra mile? Roselawn certainly did. They acknowledged that death is an enemy to us all and showed much compassion. They went above and beyond to offer outstanding service. Roselawn (2005) was a top of the line business.
