Reviews
Saying a final goodbye to our loved ones is an experience we all share at some point in our lives. Saying goodbye to a wife of 44 years has been the most difficult experience I have ever had to go through, and I suspect it will remain that way. My experience at The Island Funeral Home and Crematory was excellent. In particular, Valerie was kind, compassionate and understanding especially at moments of sudden grief that would come over me. I got to meet the rest of the staff on the day of the Celebration of Life for my wife Gail. Everything went so smoothly, when all I could do was keep my composure. The cost was very reasonable, the service was excellent and the personal attention and guidance was so important to bring lasting memories of Gail to everyone who attended.

During a very difficult time, everyone at Island Funeral Home was simply exceptional. Our loved one was transported and cared for with grace and dignity. Missy was compassionate and understood the grief we experienced, providing both comfort and guidance for important decisions. We cannot fully express our gratitude to Missy and the entire staff as they were exceptional.
