“It took me a few months to write this review as I was devastated by the loss of my dear grandfather. I want to share what a wonderful experience I had making arrangements from out of town. I had the best experience with Brandon, Amanda, and Keith. Every detail was picked out thru text messages and email. They saved me from driving during our time of grief and helped me with every detail. I shared all the wonderful details of my grandfather and wonderful recommendations were made. The service was beautiful, intimate, and the employees were very compassionate. We are grateful to have had Croley help us during this difficult time. I am glad to know my grandfather had such a beautiful service. I would highly recommend.”
