It was a wonderful experience, start to finish. Jeff took special care to ensure that our wishes for the service were carried out, even if, at times, they were unorthodox! We were enabled to make it very personalized. Our family is hugely grateful to Jeff and everyone at Rapp.

I really appreciated their kindness, expertise, patience, straightforwardness, and transparency. We were treated very respectfully. I hope never to have to use the services of a funeral home again, but if I do, I would certainly go back to Rapp Funeral Home.

I reached out to several funeral homes, and I have to say, Heather, the funeral director, truly exemplifies empathy. Although I didn't end up using their services due to a complicated family situation, from the very first call, Heather answered all of my questions without pressuring me at all. Their pricing is also very fair.

My mother has just transitioned. It has been very difficult. The staff from RAPP have been a light in the darkness, especially Ms. Linda. I’m very grateful for them.

I recently had the experience of working with Rapp Funeral and Cremation Services, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Despite facing unexpected delays from the Department of Vital Records in DC, their team was incredibly diligent and proactive in managing the situation. They kept us informed and worked to secure the necessary Certificate of Death for the cremation. Their professionalism and compassion made a difficult time much more manageable. It's clear that Rapp Funeral and Cremation Services truly cares about their clients and goes above and beyond to provide excellent service. I’m deeply grateful for their support and expertise during this challenging period. Thank you, Rapp Funeral and Cremation Services, for your outstanding care and dedication.
