“If you are looking for a Funeral Home that is compassionate, reasonably priced, and follow through with what they say; look no further. I was blessed to have Betty Meier Steeley Funeral Home perform their services for both my mother in 2019 and my father in 2021. Cari Lynn went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure everything was done in a timely manner. I had a few snags with the closing out of my father's estate that was no fault of the funeral home, but she assisted me in resolving the situation after they had already been paid and did not have to. I cannot say enough how much I appreciated as well as the rest of the family how helpful they were during these difficult times! Thank you.”
