A year and a half ago we lost one of our parents!! She was only 57 and its was unbearable!! They did a wonderful job!! She looked like an angel!! They did a wonderful job on her memorial video adding dolphins swimming ( her favorite) in between photos! If that wasn't enough a week ago we lost a grandparent and they had their Christmas tree of angels up and decorated. Because we were in such a daze that first year, we had forgotten to pick up our mom's angel. I asked what they did with angels that weren't pick up and she said they were reused or discarded. She offered to make one for our mom, knew her name and her date of death from a year and a half ago! I cannot explain how much that meant to us! That takes true passion and love for people to remember one person out of so many others! We will not go elsewhere! They are truly amazing people!

Chad and his staff did an above and beyond job at making the whole process from South Dakota to Chicago, IL. Thank you, Chad and Staff.
