    It was an honor and privilege to have met two of the most compassionate, professional, heartfelt staff members, at J.Verne Woods Funeral Home, thank you both Darryl W. Frank and Ms Kate not only did you have patience but you took me step by step through the entire process, during the loss of my sister and the burden of our hardship, I can't thank you enough for your warm welcome pleasing environment, that was my first time visiting J.VWFH, but I will definitely recommend it others Thank you!

    I have used J. Verne Wood Funeral home twice; once with a sudden death, when they were recommended to me. I chose them the second time because of how well they handled the first. They were kind, respectful, and helpful. Their documents for pricing were clear and concise. They offered additional information about handling a loved-one's death that we hadn't even thought of. I highly recommend them without hesitation. The team there is excellent: detail oriented and attentive.

    I highly recommend J. Verne Wood Funeral Home. From the first conversation and meeting with Tom to the day of my mom's funeral they were extremely professional, kind, caring, respectful, and very thoughtful.

    I will be forever grateful for the attentive, compassionate and prompt service provided by J. Verne Wood Funeral Home after my mom's passing. We had pre-planned her cremation services. Everyone involved went above and beyond to accommodate any request. Thank you, Tom LaBerge, for your kindness and for providing outstanding service.

    Care, compassion, professionalism are just a few complements that come to mind from our family. Tom, Deb and their team handled all aspects of our father's services, always available. Highly recommend them, and all they offer to families.
