Reviews
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the kindness, compassion, and empathy shown to my family during our time of grief. We were so scared going into the process of losing someone and Samaritan Funeral Services made it so much easier for us. They’re extremely professional while maintaining a sense of family all the way till the end. Sonia, our Funeral Director, was amazing not once, but twice for our family and we as a family are so grateful to her. I highly recommend them and will spread the word to anyone that might be facing the inevitable loss of loved ones.
