With my aunt passing away in March, I had called David the next day. He was so reassuring about everything, made the planning so much easier, for my family. When you go to Benito and Azzaro, you are going to family helping family.

As a very recent widow, I will always be grateful for my son's research that led to Benito & Azzaro. Our entire experience has been above and beyond; from the wonderful man who brought a US flag for my veteran husband's body as he left our home, to meeting David and being treated with such expertise and compassion. I had so many questions, and he patiently explained eveyrthing--I never felt rushed nor unheard. Because I want my children to have this same level of support at my own passing, I've even decided to begin the preplanning service with them now. They are that special.

I’m very grateful for the care and support I received from Benito & Azzaro. I did my pre-planning with Patricia, who was incredibly helpful, and having everything arranged in advance gave me peace of mind when the time came. When my mom passed, David, the funeral director, reached out promptly and ensured everything was handled smoothly. He made sure my mom’s green burial took place within the time frame I wanted, which meant so much to me. The entire staff were kind, considerate, and respectful throughout, and everything went just as I had hoped. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate and professional care.
