From the arrangement meeting to attending the funeral service the staff was amazing. They were very knowledgeable patient and caring. In the hardest week of my life they were there. Her service was beautiful every detail was met with exceeding expectations. I can not praise this company enough.”
“My dad passed away suddenly last week and he had used William Thompson & Son for both of his parents and his wife. I can definitely see why dad kept using them. The funeral director was a huge help! Especially since this was my first funeral that I was in charge of arranging. I can't thank them enough for being so understanding and kind to me. He was even easy to get in touch with about insurance stuff from home. Couldn't have asked for a better service! Highly recommend”
