“Clay and team were very supportive throughout the process. We had to execute a pre-planned service that was purchased many years ago. The plans had to be updated as many things had changed from when originally created. Clay was kind, compassionaten and helped us update the arrangements that best honored our loved one. The kindness, compassion, and respect was much appreciated during our time of need.”

“I pre-planned my mother's funeral with Deborah. She made the process quite easy. There was no pressure. There was no pushing for things I didn't want or couldn't afford. I was given time to decide before signing anything. There was an open line between the two of us for any questions that arose. When the time came to implement those funeral plans, having pre-planned made everything so much easier. I had to travel for two days to get to Sycamore, but due to the plans, everything could be set in motion before I arrived. One quick meeting with Clay was all it took when I arrived. All my wishes were met. My mother looked so good...kudos to the beautician and make-up artist. Mom would have been happy with how everything turned out. Everyone involved was very professional.”
