My several experiences with Beers and Story have consistently been comforting. Times of loss are so very challenging. Their organized, respectful, and soothing approach helped to guide our family through the necessary decisions and planning of our loved ones funeral arrangements. They carry through with every detail and provide support throughout the entire time. I cannot express with words the gratitude in my heart. 🙏🏼

Everyone we dealt with was very kind and supportive, we are planning to do some pre-planning for ourselves and will stay with Beers and Story for that.

I am so grateful to the folks at Beers and Story for their compassionate assistance when my mom passed away recently. Their communication was excellent- I never felt rushed, and I never felt like they were trying to “sell” me anything. This is my second experience working with them over the span of 20+ years - and the care and compassion has remained the same.
