Thank you, Pierce! You helped my brother and I figure out all of our next steps after our father passed away. We appreciate the sincerity and care that was taken for all of the arrangements!

Over the years, I have attended numerous services at Bissler and Sons, always finding them beautiful and honorable. I found myself on the planning end of a funeral service and I was even more impressed with the level of professionalism as well as empathy every single person we came in contact with had. I will always support this place with positive referrals for years to come.

Thank you, Pierce, for your kindness and good humor, a knowledgeable and caring consultation, and helping me decide on the services I needed and wanted and not press me to purchase what I did not need or want.
