“In October, I contacted Whitney & Murphy Bueler Mortuary to discuss pre-planning services for my parents. I spoke with Ruben Damian who was helpful, kind and easy to talk to. I live out of state and after my conversation with Ruben I felt confident my parents would be well cared for when we needed their services. In December, my mom passed away just after midnight. I called to notify of my mom’s passing. A young man, I think his name was Dom, came to pick up my mom. He was kind, gentle and caring. My mom was wrapped in a beautiful blue satin-like cloth and she looked like an angel. The facility was clean, warm and welcoming. As a family we were able to spend the time we needed with my mom. I am so thankful I had completed the pre-planning which helped everything go smoothly at such a difficult time. I would absolutely recommend Whitney & Murphy Bueler. I know when my dad passes he will receive the same respectful care.”
