Ann and Rhonda on the phone and Brett and his associates on the day were absolutely professional, personable and kind. They treated Dad with dignity and the family and our wishes with respect. Rhonda was tireless in her efforts to make sure all the arrangements were made with due consultation and the minimum of fuss.
