"My family and I chose East Lawn to take care of my father's services, although there was another mortuary right down the street who we met with first. I'm so glad my family and I chose them over the other funeral home."

"...The remarkable part was how lovingly the staff cared for her (my mother-in-law). It's a hard thing when you have to let someone's physical being go from you, and they did it with such kindness..."

– C. Johnson

"Dennis (Early) was caring, understanding, and extremely professional. He even came to our residence to help my mother who was too weak to meet at East Lawn. Dennis remembered everything about my mother - all the way down to her favorite color and favorite flower. It was extremely touching. He made all of our accommodations and requests come to fruition. Craig (Peterson) and Dennis were beyond exceptional with their compassion and professionalism. Thank you to both!"

– Lyle L.

"Arranging a funeral for my daughter was the hardest thing I have ever had to do but the staff here made it just a little bit manageable. They were very attentive and always available for questions or concerns. I truly felt like the staff here truly cared about me and my daughter and making sure every wish I had for her and her funeral happened exactly how I wanted it. Everything they did, especially our Director Dione (Longoria) has meant a lot but the way they cared for my daughter and treated her so kindly - I will forever be grateful."
