If I could I would give Cannon Mortuary a rating of 7 plus I chose them because I had attended other funerals they had handled. They are first class all the way. I never felt pressured in any way. They were kind and caring during the entire process. My wife had been ill for a long period of time. They restored her beauty. The hair stylist nailed the hair perfectly. My wife would have been very pleased

This was my first experience planning a funeral, and I cant say enough about the kindness and professionalism of Jackie and Don Cannon. From start to finish, they made a very difficult time so much easier to navigate. Jackie was incredibly responsive  she answered all of my calls and questions quickly and with genuine compassion. Both Jackie and Don truly care about the families they serve, and it shows in everything they do. Their guidance, patience, and attention to detail meant so much to me and my family. I am deeply grateful for their support and highly recommend Cannon Mortuary services to anyone in need of caring, professional mortuary arrangements.
