“This is a family owned and operated business. They have handled all of the funerals at least 5 passings in my family over the years. Maybe more. Laying in the hospital facing my own mortality, I only want to go to one place after I die. They know me and I know them, good people hearts full of dignity and absent of judgment. This town is lucky to have the Coffey family.”
“Mr. Coffey was very careing and helpful. He made things easier when planning for my dads funeral. Most of the pricing was all included into one packaged deal which made things simple, as well as he would give you an estimate on pricing with anything extra. He would also call other businesses to find out more info for us. He seems to really care about the familys needs and tries to make things as easy as possible.”
“Buried my wife of 57 years. Her body had to be shipped here, not a normal situation but David & staff handled everything well, they made me feel like family.”
