Stay At Home Arrangements
We built the “Stay-At-Home Arrangement Helper” to help our families during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though things have moved back towards normal, some find this method of making funeral arrangements more convenient (especially if there is some distance involved). If you have recently lost a loved one or will soon, we will conduct a phone conference with you to help guide and walk you through this journey. We are, and will continue to be, 100% dedicated to our families with the very best service and quality available in our surrounding community.
When you call to schedule a time that is convenient for you, we will ask that you use this page as an agenda for your phone conference with us.
