I was most pleased with the service - in responsiveness and value. Your representative assigned to my case - Dana - worked diligently on my behalf. I would recommend your services to any other funeral home in need of international transport. In the past, I have used another company - in New Jersey- and found you to be much more responsive and easier to work with. Thank you.
