We were so very impressed with Ballard-Durand. They are truly top notch, five star, and absolutely the best.
From the very start of the process - picking out the casket, to the end - the internment, they were with us every step of the way. Helpful, respectful, supportive, caring and understanding. They really take care of everything which is so important since when people are grieving it’s hard to manage things. They even thought of bringing white roses to the cemetery, which we had forgotten, so we could each give a rose to Dad as he was buried.

One is never prepared for the death of a loved one. When my husband passed away suddenly, I was totally lost and overwhelmed. The wonderful folks at Ballad-Durand were sincerely compassionate and helpful. I was able to get through the entire process as smoothly as possible, and I have even received lots of support and resources for everything needed after the immediate care of my loved-one's remains. Thank you Ballard-Durand.
Planning a funeral can be daunting, but Matthew, Nicole, and Chris made it much easier. They were caring, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. We are very grateful for their help during a difficult time.
