Goodbody has been truly amazing. This is my family's 3rd time using them in 18 months but my 1st time dealing with them personally. I live in a different state and had to make arrangements for my father. I called in a bit of a panic on a Saturday because my dad had passed unexpectedly.
From the 1st phone call I made (I don't recall who I talked to) they treated me with so much kindness and respect. And, they had someone out to him in less than 30 mins. They have kept in contact with me, delt with me calling almost every other day while there was a hold up with the death certificate (at no fault to them).
We had a day/time set to fly in and spread his ashes (yes, we booked them way too soon, not thinking there would be any problem) and they have made sure that we didn't have to change out flights.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars because they have been amazing! Ethan has truly been a life saver on more than one occasion and I can't thank them enough.
