This is the second death our family has experienced in the last few months and costs are unfortunately, of great concern. We were looking for a simple cremation for our loved one and we met with BrIan Hahn at Jones, Rich and Barnes Funeral Home. We did not have an appointment and were only in town for a couple of days.

He guided us to another service which was able to provide what we were looking for. We will always remember his kindness and generosity at this difficult time for our family.
