Dear Keith, I am essentially incapable of expressing the confidence and comfort I had with you helping out so critically after the loss of my wife Kris. Thank you for making it work in terms of our being able to bring two different groups to visit and see her, particularly her parents. God Bless You, Matt Stolwyk

If you call a “funeral home,” but you are not actually using it as a gathering place, you are unknowingly paying for their high overhead. Since we do not have to pass on the high overhead of a neighborhood funeral home, typical savings are 25-45%, or $1,000 to $4,000.
We specialize in services that do not require the use of a “funeral home”, therefore, we are able to operate from our centrally located arrangement office on Brentwood Boulevard. In this setting, we are able to provide all of the necessary services that you expect from a funeral director.
