My beloved wife passed away earlier this month. It was very late at night, and even though it was a 2 hour ride for the staff members of AW Rich/Direct Cremation Services, they arrived in a prompt manner. They were very kind, informative, and very respectful. They handled a very emotionally painful situation with so much care and compassion. I was truly impressed with their compassionate and respectful manner. In addition all of the other staff members that I spoke to during and after the cremation process were also very compassionate and respectful as well.

A.W Rich Funeral Home exceeded our expectations when they came into our home. Not only with sincere sympathy but with class. They handled our love one with care while keeping her dignity in mind. We were asked if we wanted to aid in the preperation for her last ride. Before facing the outside world we were asked if we wanted to place a home made quilt across her as a finishing touch of privacy. As she was placed in the van they were playing their wedding song. ( You're my best friend by Tim McGraw) We stood there sobbing as they drove slowly down the street with their song playing loud enough to honor the grieving husband.It was a horrible evening with a beautiful, heartfelt,farwell tribute to our Brenda.. "I love you my angel" you will always be my best friend. Thank you A.W.Rich Funeral Home for making a bad situation so memorable! We will recommend you to everyone. Thank you for caring so much.

The overall experience was compassionate and respectful. The Urn was beautiful and exactly what my family chose. The only downside was it took over a week to get my beloved Mother out of the hospital morgue and to the crematorium due to a glitch in the electronic transfer of a signed contract for a few days which held up my mother's body from being transported to the crematorium in a timely manner. Otherwise, everything else went through without any issues and Mom is back at home until my family can make the final arrangements. I do recommend Rich's Funeral Home/Direct Crematory Services for their overall handling of my Mother's final wishes with the utmost care and respect she deserved.

The recommendation we received to use John Workman's services was one of the best choices we could have made. The tact, empathy, knowledge, and guidance that John provided our family was the needed light our family needed in an extremely dark time in our lives. The deep ties that John and Guy have with the community can be seen as evidence that they truly do care. Even years later, if we happen to bump into one of them, they treat us like family. I cannot recommend them enough.
