Chris Wolf - We can not begin to express how wonderful this facility is. They are a wonderful family and staff that will no leave any detail out. At Metro Florist and Gifts we are honored to conduct business with this group.
Thomas P. - This is never an easy topic for discussion, however I am writing this review because of an experience our family had last Saturday. Mike and his staff were very professional in the way that they handled the memorial for a family member. They were very gracious in understanding our needs and the way we wanted to have this memorial. From the memorial to the service flag handed to the family, from the catering to the procession, from the beginning to end I was very impressed with Mike and the others that guided us through this challenging period.
