Our facility was designed with families in mind

From full handicapped accessibility to a cozy, home-like atmosphere, every detail is meant to bring comfort during difficult moments. We also offer a private family lounge—a quiet, welcoming space to gather, reflect, and simply be together.

As a family-owned funeral home, we believe the setting matters just as much as the care.
