To help prepare me for the process of cremating my beautiful mother, loved ones shared how difficult the process of discussing it would be. I was set to be disturbed and highly emotional but Leroy was so wonderful and he had a calming energy. My father and I were able to get through everything quickly and even enjoyed talking with Leroy. He was personable, professional and helped normalize the process in a dignified way. He even offered to bring her certificates directly to us after learning we were neighbors. I don't want to work with him again anytime soon for obvious reasons but he was so great I am sad I don't have a reason to interact with him again. Thank you Leroy. You are truly a blessing.
Leroy was great from the beginning until it was time to pick up my wife's ashes especially with what my son and I were going through with my wife's passing he made it easy and found some ways to bring the costs down I would highly recommend using this Funeral Home, thanks Leroy for everything I appreciate it, Jerry
Leroy was so wonderful when my husband passed. Very professional and very easy going. He knew when to lighten the mood during a very difficult time in my life. Thank you so much for everything. I truly appreciate it
