Beers and Story were professional from beginning to end. Pre-planning helped alleviate much when it actually came time to move forward with final plans. My husband passed at home and the individuals who came to pick him up were kind and professional. Meeting at the Funeral Home in Palmer made making final arrangements understandable and helped us make decisions that worked for both our family and B & S. Everyone was so supportive and professional both at the viewing at B & S and at the cemetery. Making one of life’s hardest moments bearable was truly a godsend to me and my family. I would recommend Beers and Story to anyone needing assistance during trying times.
