“The deceased is quietly resting in her last earthly home. Her final wish for a 'smoking hot body' was carried out through your cremation services. Thank you.”
“Hosting my husband‘s visitation and additional funeral services very easy at Gerry-Delmore. The Plymouth location is beautifully decorated, and it was easy to bring in our photos and desserts to add to the atmosphere. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind! For the initial conversation about a funeral, Jessi was very helpful in sharing all the details that go into a funeral that are unnoticed by the attendees. When it was time for the funeral, everything was executed seamlessly thanks to her and the staff. Also, this team helped move flowers and pictures to our church for the funeral service and the burial site the following day. All of the family and friends that attended had many compliments. I highly recommend Gearty – Delmore for anyone going through this tough time.”
“Mike Lyons was the funeral director who assisted us. He has a calm and sincere demeanor. Answered all of our questions and gave us a minute when we needed it. We did not expect him to help make the arrangements at Fort Snelling and was very appreciative for those extra calls.”
“We had a great experience at Gearty-Delmore when my brother recently passed away. We had also used them in the past with the same results. The staff was kind, empathetic, knowledgeable and very respectful throughout the process. Everything was handled in a timely manner with great attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Gearty-Delmore for other families facing this extremely difficult time.”
“At the most difficult and impossibly sad time for my family, they provided kindness, care and guidance when it was needed most. I cannot find the words to fully express my sincere gratitude and profound appreciation for their support, gentleness and dedication to my family. I am forever thankful. - Timothy Norton”
