I took advantage of Old Town Funeral Choices following the death of my spouse. This facility came…read morewith the recommendation of several people in my church. They deserve their stellar reputation! The arrangements for my spouse's remains were easily taken care of, the funeral director was appropriately respectful and efficient, and the charges were extremely low, lower than a competing service that has a reputation for low costs. He took care of ordering the death certificates and publishing the obituary, never complaining about my numerous revisions to the text. In the end, he called me to report they had overcharged me about $2.00 on each death certificate and asked how I'd like the money refunded. Talk about scrupulously honest! I will recommend Old Town Funeral Choices anytime.

They showed up with professionalism, compassion, and a quiet dignity that made some of the hardest days of our lives a little easier to bear. From the first meeting, the staff was polished, respectful, and attentive without ever being intrusive. They guided us through every detail with patience and never made us feel rushed, even though they clearly manage a busy schedule. That alone set them apart. Before choosing Reese, our family visited five different funeral homes to compare pricing, presentation, and overall atmosphere. Reese Funeral Professionals stood out unanimously. Their balance of quality, affordability, and genuine compassion made the decision easy. Both times, our loved ones were prepared beautifully. The floral arrangements were fresh and thoughtfully placed, the casket presentation was elegant, and the viewing area felt peaceful and intentional. It was clear that they put real heart into their work. One thing that meant a great deal to us was that Reese includes several complimentary services with their packages. The most touching was a tribute blanket featuring our loved one's photo along with their birth and death dates. It wasn't just a keepsake, it was something our family will cherish forever. Reese Funeral Professionals has earned our trust in the most difficult moments, and I would recommend them without hesitation to any family seeking compassionate, respectful, and high‑quality service during a time of loss.
