I am so grateful for all that Sonia and Cindy did to get my family through a very difficult time. I had no idea how special these two would become to me. They were professional, extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate. I was recommended Samaritan Funeral and Cremation from a dear friend of mine. He said I would be very well taken care of. He was a hundred percent right! I instantly felt confident in their ability to meet our family’s needs and they went above and beyond to make it special. Losing my mother was so painful, so having such amazing peopling working for you while never losing that human touch was priceless!! I could never thank them enough.
