Alex and his staff have done a wonderful job of adapting to the ever changing COVID restrictions, coming up with clever and creative, yet respectful ways to provide a meaningful final goodbye to our loved ones. Thank you for giving our Mom the first class treatment she deserved. You made things so much easier for a family devastated by her loss.
