“Beacon gave my grandfather the dignity in death that he had been denied in the final weeks of his life. Kirk and his people handled my needy, dysfunctional, forgetful family with incredible grace. He made the process of arranging my grandfather's funeral as easy as possible, and handled our very difficult situation exceptionally well. I will forever be grateful.”
