I guess I understand why a place like this has so few reviews. It's really not something someone…read morewants to think about more than necessary--even the extra 5-10 min. to write a review. But, a friend of mine used this place years ago and I saw her review then and bookmarked it in case I was ever in the same predicament which I recently found myself in with the surprise loss of my mother who hadn't even been ill. Michael was quick to respond to every email with multiple details because my situation got very complicated including the medical examiner, a pathologist who cancelled out at the last minute and my traveling long distance during Covid to handle matters. During the most stressful and depressing days of my life, I came here to this nice Victorian house for my mother's body. He told me the family picked this home because it wasn't cold and he was absolutely correct. Michael was patient and efficient and I found the prices reasonable because who wants to feel screwed over when dealing with the body of their most loved one. At my request, he even divided my mom's ashes into packets that I could give to her friends who wanted to do their own little ceremonies during Covid. I was embarrassed to ask, but knew I wasn't up for that task myself and he handled it with grace and warmth and refused at tip I offered for that extra step. Highly recommended. Thank you Michael for your help and patience with my complicated, drawn out situation. Remember, you do make a difference in people's lives, when it matters most.
