My name is Jack Spangler and I have served in the funeral business for 30 years. During that time I have noticed a large increase in the cremation rate. More and more people want something very basic and to make things easier on the loved ones left behind. Funeral homes generally are more expensive due to the large overhead.
We are simple, make things easy and are more than reasonable in our pricing. I personally will take as much worry and concern off your shoulders as I can and assist with anything I am able.
My goal is to make it as simple and easy for you as I possibly can. I encourage you to ask around about my reputation and you will find that I am a very sincere and caring person held to the highest of standards.
