They were kind and compassionate in dealing with my family in the aftermath of my Mom's death. I would recommend them and will probably use them again if needed. The option to have pictures of her displayed was appreciated since it allowed us to have some of our happier memories be what mourners saw when they arrived. Thanks!
This place will ALWAYS be 5 stars. They helped the majority of my wife's family over the last 25 years. Now that I lost my mom there was no doubt who I was going to use for her. Everyone is so nice and sympathetic during the hardest moments in your life of losing someone close to you. I will continue to call on them when needed in the future. I would recommend them to ANYONE who has lost a loved one and needs a business they can trust. Thank you Kniffen O'Malley!
We came from out of state and the minute we landed within two days Lewis helped me pick out a casket, a plot, he got me in touch with the church, the florist and even made a picture of my aunt look professional with a frame! They were incredible to work with and we had no worries! Their customer service was exceptional!!
