Lovely job of helping us have a very memorable occasion. Handled constantly changing plans with patience and grace.

My husband pre planned and prepaid his funeral through Thompson Funeral Home in 2021. When my daughter and I went to the funeral home the day following his death, the process was seamless. In addition to having paperwork ready to sign, the staff treated us with the utmost care and attention.

Our plans were simple, but they were executed with caring and professionalism. I would definitely recommend. The funeral director was Greg, who was excellent.
