We have had to request Chris' funeral home services twice in less than a year for the final care of family members. We cannot say enough about Chris and his staff. Chris is professional, kind, and caring. He listens and provides helpful insight. During one of the hardest times in a family's life, Chris is there, quickly and quietly, to offer a professional hand and compassionate heart. He is the best in his field.

We are so very thankful to Chris and his staff for the help that they provided to us at the death of our family member. Chris was kind, caring, and attentive to detail. He made a difficult time easier to arrange. He carefully organized and planned in a short amount of time. We would strongly recommend Chris and the Gibson-Bode staff. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It meant everything to us.

The customer service was outstanding. You made sure that you provided your time and attention down to the smallest detail. We so appreciated all that you did to help us through, providing our Dad the send off he deserved. Thank You!!

Originally I chose a different funeral home that was closer to where I was located, even though my Grandmother & Grandfather's funeral services were held here. It was a huge mistake because Chris at Gibson-Bode went above and beyond. He made everything better and gave my mother the cremation and love she deserved to put her at peace. If I ever have to be in charge of a funeral or cremation in the area again, there will be no question who I will go to! Chris was amazing. Thank You.
Dawn Miller-Walker
