Loosing my husband of 20 years has been a traumatic, painful, and surreal experience. A very difficult time in a person's life is trying to make arrangements in this state. Joseph treated me with respect and compassion. He was straight forward and upfront about the entire process. He even had the care and concern to give me his cell number and let me know that I could call him anytime. His genuine compassion will not be forgotten. Thank you Joseph.

My family and I drove from California and Oregon to Morristown for my aunt's funeral. We got to meet the owner, his beautiful wife and employees. They had a very reasonable rate with a 5 star service. They gave us extra 3 free viewing hrs so that the family traveling long distance could say good bye! I would recommend this place if you are looking for some one to be there for you and your family. In times of pain this wonderful people where next to us from start to finish!

The staff and Mr Harris were very compassionate and helpful. While they deal with death daily, they werent dismissive and we were not treated as a number. They listened to us and were patient with all our questions and concerns. They took excellent care of our loved one and our entire family. There was no high pressure sales tactics, just facts and sensitivity. I am thankful we used their services and my loved one was treated with dignity and respect. Thank you!
