My experience with Ruth at Lay to Rest was like working with a favorite family member. Not ever having planned a cremation memorial, Ruth guided me with compassion, patience and what felt like genuine care. She answered my questions thoroughly throughtout the day & even into the late night hours. I am so glad that I choose Lay to Rest over the other places I researched. Ruth took the stress out of a very emotional and stressful time and I am forever greatful to her. I would definitely use her services again without hesitation. Continued Blessings to you and your establishment. Thank you for everything!
I never had to plan a funeral before and Tremaine, Ruth, and Naomi assisted in making this process having to funeralize my mother as easy as possible. The customer service was top tier, and the level of professionalism and empathy was through the roof. Whenever I felt nervous, they helped to calm me! Whenever I started to feel sad, they assisted in comforting me. They weren't trying to sell me funeral services, they were assisting me in planning one... and trust me, there is a huge difference. Ruth, I thank you for being a listening ear in my time of bereavement and grief. Naomi, I thank you for helping to ensure things were in order... and Tremaine, thank you for making the viewing (on the day before) go smooth. Your smile and calm nature helped us through that time. Lay to Rest Funeral is a must go-to for your homegoing service needs. Trust me! Thank you, Lay to Rest Funeral Home for everything!
I recently was in a space where I needed funeral services for the loss of my Brother. It was a very difficult time for me and my family. I received the recommendation from a family member for Lay To Rest services and I am truly grateful that I chose them. From start to finish they provided high-touch quality service for my family member. When I turned everything over to them, I was truly grateful because they thought of every detail and everything was done in an orderly, timely fashion. I cant say enough great things about Lay To Rest. Ruth and her Team were very attentive to our needs and made recommendations that were a great fit for us. They provide a number of funeral services to meet the needs of a family. I highly encourage you to consider them to handle, your love ones' services. They think of every detail and personalize it to fit your specific needs. Ruth and her Team were truly a blessing to us in our time of need.
