Our Mother had specific instructions for her Celebration of Life. And those of us who knew her…read morewell, knew that her wishes would be the opposite of conventional. Jon Cody and the staff at Buchanan and Cody were extremely flexible and were able to help us make everything mom hoped for happen. Jon was there immediately, when we needed him most and explained everything clearly and accurately. He worked with Mom's church so that her ideas could be realized there as well. Mom's funeral was, without a doubt, a celebration and we owe it all to Buchanan and Cody's caring and capable staff. When all was said and done, mom had a positive balance left and Jon Cody made sure it went to a charity of her choice. No stone was left unturned. My siblings and I greatly appreciate everything Jon and the staff did for us. Tony Thompson, Denver Co.

He has the ability to walk into a situation filled with grief and still accomplish what needs to be done.

I was pleased with them so went back. I asked about paw prints and Gary Butler said he could do it. When I picked up the remains on Wednesday, December 3, the paw prints were in a card and were smudged to the point I could not tell what they were. I had expected a print in clay, which I did not get. I was so disappointed, I felt like crying and commented about the print not being clear. The woman in the office stated that the cat must have been in bad shape. I found that to be disrespectful. The cat was in perfect condition. He was an indoor cat and was kept cold until he was taken to Butler. I wasn't even given the option of the clay print. Given the lack of empathy toward my feelings and, I can never get the prints now. The cost was more than I had expected since last year. I have 2 more older cats. Butler will not be my first choice when the time comes for cremation for them
