Losing my dad was one of the hardest experiences of my life, and I cannot express how grateful I am to the entire team—especially Eileen—for making such a difficult time so much easier to navigate.

I called in the middle of the night immediately after my father passed away, with no prior arrangements in place.

I can't recommend Friends Funeral Home enough. I worked with Eileen and she was nothing but amazing. The process was really smooth and my mom looked beautiful!

Also, if you need a funeral home that does international travel, Friends is the place!

Thank you, Eileen!

Thank you Eilene at Friends Funeral Home. I was making decisions for my mom and working with 2 states. Eilene answered all of my questions quickly and thoughtfully. Even when I was making changes I never felt rushed, I felt heard. The opposite state gave great reviews in their dealings with Friends funeral to which I am grateful as it was my mom’s resting place. Very happy for a smooth experience and transition for the needs of our loved one at this time. We were well cared for.
I will forever be grateful.
