“This place is so professional and thoughtful in every thing they do. Patrick was incredible from start to finish. The amount of compassion and respect he dedicated to everyone in my family does not go unnoticed. There’s a reason our family chose this place to handles our loved ones. Each time Patrick and the staff took the time out to answer any questions and made sure to walk us through the arrangements. This alleviate a lot of the stress especially when my father passed. This funeral home made sure that he was honored with dignity and left nothing out. They even take the extra steps to honor each member with a Christmas ornament which was thoughtful and greatly appreciated.”
“Christy Funeral Home was absolutely amazing. Everyone was so kind, compassionate and wonderful to work with. Jeff was understanding, knowledgeable and very accommodating. He truly listened and took care of every detail. I can’t thank them enough for their sensitivity to our needs and for making us comfortable during such a sad time. If you are looking for a professional you can trust to assist you with care and phenomenal service I highly recommend this business to any family.”
“Absolutely the best. These folks truly care about what they do, and truly care for your loved one. Rebecca and Patrick both are amazing and have such grace. You absolutely can not go wrong with Christy FH. I assure you that while you may find somewhere $50-150 cheaper, you lose a lot with that comparatively inexpensive downgrade.”
“The staff is wonderful to work with!”
