We were treated and served very well by everyone at Anderson & Sons. They were helpful and compassionate, particularly Angela, Jess,and Alison. We appreciate the attention to those things that were especially important to us. Kindness, compassion, and sensitivity are hallmarks of our experience.
My experience with Anderson and Sons Mortuary was very positive after my mother passed away. They were extremely friendly, helpful and professional walking me through the process from my very first phone call throughout the funeral and beyond. They made all the arrangements to pick up the casket from the airport since we lived out of state and then to take it back to the airport after a private family wake to fly her to the next funeral and her final resting place in yet another state. Everything went flawlessly. I was invited to view my mother at the funeral home after they prepared the body to make sure I approved of everything. They even let me spend a few private minutes making finishing touches on how she would have done her makeup. They were very timely bringing the casket to the family funeral and did everything we asked them to do to respectfully display my moms casket in a private room, helping anyone who wanted to have a private viewing to pay their last respects. In fact,
I am so greatful for Anderson and Sons Mortuary. They were able to put my husband back together after he passed tragically allow us to have an open cassette. You could even tell what happened. They also facilitated me being able to cast out hands together, they made him available for me to see everyday. They also allowed me to ride with my husband to the cemetery. I am grateful I was able to say goodbye face to face. Thank you so much for giving that to me!
