The folks at Rapp were so kind and professional. They guided us through making decisions, filling out paperwork, and the whole process after our Mom passed away. We are grateful to them for their expertise.

It was a wonderful experience, start to finish. Jeff took special care to ensure that our wishes for the service were carried out, even if, at times, they were unorthodox! We were enabled to make it very personalized. Our family is hugely grateful to Jeff and everyone at Rapp.

I really appreciated their kindness, expertise, patience, straightforwardness, and transparency. We were treated very respectfully. I hope never to have to use the services of a funeral home again, but if I do, I would certainly go back to Rapp Funeral Home.

I reached out to several funeral homes, and I have to say, Heather, the funeral director, truly exemplifies empathy. Although I didn't end up using their services due to a complicated family situation, from the very first call, Heather answered all of my questions without pressuring me at all. Their pricing is also very fair.
