    Prior to the funeral Marilyn Knize did a wonderful job taking me to the plot, explaining things well, and answering all of my questions.

    Everyone at Ferncliff was professional and caring. It was a worthy sendoff for my Navy Veteran Uncle. They made the process and procedures simple and easy for me during a difficult period of time. They took care of all the veteran related things including getting a color guard and bugler for the ceremony. The grounds and monuments were beautiful and well maintained. I could have not been more pleased.
