Being in existence for over 120 years has allowed us to prepare adequately to provide for unparalleled seamless service in our industry.<\/p>\n

The preparation allows us to operate in any given environment as we have alternative redundancy power sources such as solar and generators in our wide branch network.<\/p>\n

We have also adopted the use of chemicals that preserve bodies for a longer time.<\/p>\n

Our state of the art mortuaries allow us to have the country\u2019s largest holding capacity combined with the best industry practices.<\/p>\n
