- JBJames Burden5 days ago5.0Made the worst day of my life tolerable. God bless them!
- KMKim MorrowDec 30, 20255.0We experienced an unexpected loss in our family, and we were completely in shock. During such a difficult time, Kyle was incredibly easy to work with—professional, compassionate, and thoughtful every step of the way. We held a very small family service, and Kyle included meaningful details we never would have thought. Kyle and his team handled everything seamlessly, allowing us to focus on being together. We cannot recommend them highly enough

When I call, will someone come right away?
If you request immediate assistance, yes. If the family wishes to spend a short time with the deceased to say good-bye, that’s perfectly acceptable. Your funeral director will come when your time is right.
Should I choose Burial or Cremation?
Burial in a casket is the most common method of disposing of remains in the United States, although entombment also occurs. Cremation is increasingly selected because it can be less expensive and allows for the memorial service to be held at a more convenient time in the future when relatives and friends can come together.
A funeral service followed by cremation need not be any different from a funeral service followed by a burial. Usually, cremated remains are placed in urn before being committed to a final resting place. The urn may be buried, placed in an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium, or interred in a special urn garden that many cemeteries provide for cremated remains. The remains may also be scattered, according to state law.
