“I can not express the gratitude I feel for the top notch, professional service my family and I received from PJ Lamiell and his staff. At a very difficult and emotional time, we received pleasant, courteous, supportive, and sensitive treatment from the start to finish. PJ Lamiell’s attention to details and his timely responses to any request was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend this facility to my family and friends.”
“My mom just passed and had known PJ and his staff for quite a while. So upon my mom’s passing we looked no further. I can’t tell you how incredibly easy the entire process went. This man and his staff have got to be world class. PJ knew every little detail about what he was going to do, the church, and the cemetery. He not just walked us through this, but gave us very detailed information concerning future arrangements as well. When the time comes, I would highly suggest you do the same as we did and put complete trust in PJ Lamiell and his staff. Thank you PJ and thank you Lamiell funereal home staff!”
