Santiago, from R.G. Funeral home on First Avenue did an amazing job arranging my father's funeral. They did an excellent job with dad's makeup, he still looked like dad. Santiago went above and beyond with helping me through this process. Everything came out beautiful. I'm thankful to them for helping me give my dad a beautiful farewell the farewell he deserved. You can trust this funeral home to know they will give your loved one the farewell they deserve. Santiago, my family and I thank you. We appreciate your dedication.
Santiago showed my family incredible compassion during the loss of my brother, especially through the holidays. He took his time with us, was patient, and truly made sure we were cared for every step of the way. The viewing turned out beautifully.
