Our Mom recently passed and we used Cress off of East Washington. We(Renee, Kellie and Nickie, the daughter’s of Jerene “Jeri” Wilkins) would like to specifically thank Christine Mickelson for everything she did to help us through the process of cremating our Mom. Christine went above and beyond. She was so kind, accommodating and we felt like she truly cared. She made us feel at ease and answered all of our questions. We can’t thank the staff at Cress for everything. We truly appreciate it.

I would like to take a moment to thank Cress Funeral home for their loving support to our family and the professional and gentle care they provided for my sister. The staff was committed to assisting us in providing personalized services for my sister that honored her spirit. They went above and beyond all expectations during this COVID crisis to ensure we all had the opportunity to grieve and say goodbye. I would like to thank Jennifer for her patience and guidance while we navigated this. Your kindness is so appreciated and will not be forgotten. I would highly recommend Cress Funeral home to everyone!
Our family would like to express our deepest gratitude to Christine Mickelson, Funeral Director at Cress Funeral & Cremation Service, for the exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism she showed us during one of the most difficult moments of our lives.
From the very beginning, Christine treated our family with genuine kindness, patience, and understanding. Losing my mother was incredibly painful, and having someone guide us through the funeral arrangements with such warmth and sensitivity made an enormous difference. She took the time to listen to us, answer our questions, accommodate our needs, and make sure that every detail was handled with care.
