MORE COMFORTABLE FOR YOU,
IN ANY WEATHER
Since we upgraded our heating and air
conditioning systems and became the
nation's first funeral home to use
geothermal energy, we have received
very positive feedback.
The Chapel is warm in the winter and
cool in the summer. The efficient
energy system has not needed any
service calls and creates a consistently
comfortable environment for the
families we serve and their guests.
