Quality Must Be
Beyond Question
There are limes when even quality-minded
people say. "Well. I guess it will do for the
time being"—but, not when they need to
arrange for a funeral. Then the service
must be of a quality beyond reproach.
Every service offered in our "wide price
range is one of irreproachable excellence,
impressively appointed and,conducted_with
reverential dignity..
