– Susan J. Olsson
"Guillermo Martinez was very responsive, accommodating and attentive."
– Sue Ellen D. A.
"Doug Rees [Family Service Counselor] helped guide us through the pre-need process. We had many meetings with him to decide on cemetery grave location, casket choice, etc. He was always very patient and considerate of our desires. I am very thankful that we had our discussions well before my wife passed."
– Terry Eyrich
"Overall, I was very, very pleased with the comfort, kindness, direction, and patience extended to me and my sons during this difficult period in our lives. After each meeting with your staff, I/we would feel a bit more confident with what needed to be next done.
The entire process culminated with a very memorable memorial service."

Just heard about Gary’s passing and thought everyone would get a kick out of a little league picture ( Gary in sitting in the middle & his pops Frank is standing on the left side) I have sitting on my shelve in my office. Gary was a very good friend of mine when we were young ones. Even though it been years since we had talked I always considered him my “little” brother I never had. Love ya Bro “RIP”. I hope this picture opens up larger…….. Frank Stone
All the good and bad times rest in piece
