Barry and his team were wonderful to work with. Extremely polite, professional and efficient. Very understanding of the situation and helpful to the stated wishes and objectives.
I hope not to need their services again soon, but if I do I won’t hesitate to call them.
My son died a horrible death tragically. The Menlo Park funeral home took care of everything from picking his body up from the coroners office to discretely delivering his remains back to me. They handled everything with sensitivity, compassion, professionalism and kindness. Lauren even checked in to see how I was doing weeks after the event. Nobody ever wants to go through what I did but if you have to use a funeral service, this is the one.
