“My sister and I were very pleased with Calvert and Wikoff. They were considerate, professional, and helpful in every way at a very difficult time in our lives. Every single thing was thought of and taken care of for us - from writing the obituary, to obtaining death certificates, to coordinating with the pastor of our mother’s church with planning the service. We would highly recommend them!”
