I lost my mother recently and they did a fantastic job, it was a very stressful time and they were kind caring and handled everything, the funeral was dignified and everything went well, I do recommend them when their services are needed

had this to say:
My parents purchased their pre-paid funeral services with Root Funeral Home back in the early 1990's. When Dad passed away in May of 2019, I started reading about "pre-paid services" and the nightmares that typically followed at other funeral homes. I was prepared for the worst! However, when my brother and I sat down with Thomas Root to discuss the details of the funeral, nothing could have been further from the truth. Thomas explained every option that was available, made helpful suggestions about the viewing/wake, and personally communicated with the Pastor of Queen of All Saints, Father Kevin Huber, to coordinate the funeral Mass and burial process. Our mother just passed away this month (October 2020), and his attention to detail was exactly the same. Outstanding! There were no surprise charges, no additional costs, no obsolete options that required an "upgrade" - none of that! Root Funeral Home did exactly what they said they would do based on the agreement they made with our parents from years ago! What a blessing it was to have worked with an honorable business! I'm sorry for those families that have left negative reviews, but I can honestly tell you that our experience could not have been better.
