“They treat you like family. Truly compassionate and understanding. They handled everything. A true blessing in a difficult time.“

“After the passing of my husband, our family was faced with planning both a military honors service and a celebration of life while navigating grief and countless details. Sarah Ryan was exceptional from the very beginning.

She was compassionate, responsive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. No matter how many questions I had, she always took the time to answer them and provide guidance. Her communication throughout the entire process was outstanding, and she consistently went above and beyond to help our family.

One thing that especially stood out was her dedication to helping us honor Israel’s military service. When there was uncertainty about whether a live bugler would be available through military channels, Sarah took the initiative to research additional options and connected us with volunteer organizations that could provide a live bugler. That effort meant so much to our family, especially to our daughter, who felt strongly about having a live bugler as part of the service.

She also helped with countless details, from prayer cards and guest books to easels and recommendations whenever we needed them. Every time I reached out, she made me feel supported and reassured during an incredibly difficult period.

Sarah’s professionalism, kindness, and genuine care made a lasting impression on our family. I am deeply grateful for everything she did to help us create a meaningful tribute to my husband. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone who is looking for a funeral director who truly cares about the families she serves.“

“The people at Countryside were very helpful and considerate when I lost my husband. They walked me through every step and I did not feel overwhelmed. I was very surprised and comforted that I was not forgotten after the service. I was offered various services to help me through these difficult times. I asked Relatives that had gone through this same experience, and their funeral homes did not provide any of the services offered here. I will highly recommend Countryside Funeral Home if you are unfortunate enough to lose a loved one.“
