"I've never
been a
conventional
person"
“I suppose one’s personality has a lot to do with the
type of funeral they choose. I’ve never been regarded as a
particularly conventional individual, and this would be
reflected in the type of funeral I would wish.”
Different people have different choices in funeral
arrangements, and we are here to serve them all.
No matter what your wishes may be, we are always
available to help you with your planning. Please give us a
call at the number listed below.
