• "I would recommend Charles as probably THE best in the funeral business. It's an
unusual business to excel at, but Charles does it about as well as I think anyone could.
Charles is creative, considerate, honest, and sees his mission through until the very end.
He can work with just about anyone, and in the funeral business, customers are not
always at their best. Employ him as your funeral director and you won't be sorry."
