Thanks to McD-C, my father's service was beautiful, dignified, and exactly as he would have wanted it. I would use them again without hesitation, and I recommend them -and Jennifer- very, very highly. In addition, all the area mortuaries seem to charge similarly, so McD-C services are a decent value. I am completely satisfied and thankful for their help.

While we didn't use this chapel (we opted to conduct the service at her church instead), I have been a few times for other family members' memorial services and can say that it was a serene environment. While my grandma had prepared and had already bought her burial site, the team at Welch-Ryce-Haider really came to our aid when it came to executing the whole process. The transition from the rosary to the service to the interment was as smooth as it could have gone, and the staff here really did all the work for us. We were given peace of mind knowing that her final celebration of life would be conducted the way she would have wanted - and it most certainly was. There are a handful of other funeral homes locally, but I'd wholeheartedly give this company my business again.
