“The staff at Tobias were very professional. Phil took his time explaining everything. Made sure my family understood all procedures. The service was beautiful.”
“At Tobias Funeral Home I was treated with the utmost compassion and professionalism. All of my needs were meet. There was no pressure of any kind as I made the final decisions as I said goodbye to my loved one.”
“Lindsay was phenomenal! The entire staff was kind, patient and empathetic. They followed up with us on every detail and call. I appreciated the fact that our mothers obituary was pictured outside so guests knew which area to be in. All of her flowers and urns were carefully placed with care and detail. I'm sure when you plan funerals and deal with death it becomes "just another person" but your staff didn't make my family feel like that. Losing a mother is one of the biggest challenge we'll face in life and thanks to you all it made it a little easier.”
“Mr. Tobias and his crew did such a wonderful job for my grandfather. I could not have asked for a more compassionate caring funeral company than they were. We are so very grateful for all you did for him before he passed to his heavenly home and after he passed. Thank you!”
“After a brief stay in hospice our family member passed. Contacting Tobias was the best move we could have made. They took charge and made our experience painless with e.otuonalky and financially. Thank you so much for your help.”
