We’re
not set in
our ways.
We don’t believe a funeral service should
be mechanical or insensitive. The families
in our community represent many customs,
cultures and traditions. What matters to us
is what you think and what you want.
Our funeral directors are flexible and creative
because everyone has a tradition, but that tradition
isn’t always the same. So if you’ve ever heard,
“But we just don’t do things that way,” call us. We’ll
do much more than simply go through the motions.
