Reviews
The staff at Funeral Alternatives took such great care of my father. They were respectful, courteous and quick, making arrangements for my family feel less daunting. Karlene and Carla were really great to work with, I would highly recommend them.

Everyone we worked with was amazing. From the pre planning to the pick up of my father was compassionate and respectful. They worked directly with our hospice team so we didn't have to call for pick up when it was time. It took less than a week to bring my dad home and get the death certificates. 100 times would Recommend.
