Was there a few years ago for my grandmother in law then about a month ago for my dad and then this week for my mother in law, wouldn’t go anywhere else. This place helps you through the whole process and makes your heart feel better knowing your loved ones are in good hands. Sonia and the whole team work wonders and I highly appreciate their help. 💕

I don’t know where to start. I’ll start with having to do business as the worse day of my life! Sonia was very professional, kind, knowledgeable, understanding, fair and paid attention to detail. It took three visits before I believed I wouldn’t die from a broken heart and end up her next customer!!! Sonia was a super trooper in dealing with the emotions of Carries kids. This alone is worth five stars. In the end it was beautiful and I know my mom was cared for. She chose them in life 15 years prior to her death. She picked the best. Thank you ~The family of Carrie Hardy.
