Thank you Gia, Tristen, and Caroline. My sweet cat passed away and I have never had to deal with a pet crossing over the rainbow bridge until now. I appreciate that you all were able to communicate through email and text during my busy work schedule. It made the experience a lot easier for me. I recommend their services to anyone who would need it for their fur baby.
The folks here could not have been more supportive in our time of need. Cory, Hillary and the staff were professional, thorough, and genuinely compassionate. The process was very efficient both before, during and after the passing of our loved one. My step dad was a veteran and the respect and dignity given to him was very much appreciated.
We were very pleased with the services of Smith McAlister. They ministered to us with kindness and compassion. We were able to have a beautiful funeral and a place to have friends call and offer condolences. They coordinated the trans port to church and cemetery and gave us thank you notes and mass cards and also instructions on how to manage our affairs after the funeral.
