As licensed Funeral Directors we give care to families during some of the most difficult times of their lives. When you experience a death, we will make all of the necessary arrangements to transfer your loved one in to our care. After the initial family meeting, we will over see your wishes and decisions for funeral services as well as final disposition. In addition to service related care, we will conduct the necessary administrative tasks associated with death, and complete all necessary paperwork. Our staff is here to listen, advise and support you through the grief process. John A. Gentleman Mortuaries is a part of your community.
