What our community says





“My wife died December 2. Funeral Director Fred did an excellent job helping my daughter and myself make all preparations for my wife. Fred made us feel very comfortable. Fred was able to assist us and answer any and all questions. Fred was very compassionate, courteous, and professional. I would highly recommend this facility.” – Gary Q.
“I lost my daughter July 16. Complications from a heart transplant. The people at Lemon Bay were so good to me. I just want to thank Steve especially. You helped me when I couldn’t help myself. Thank you so much.” – Lonnie H.
“Very caring people who express a great amount of sympathy even after the service.” – BeeJay V.
“Our family found that being assisted by such a great staff at the Port Charlotte location was a pleasant surprise. Thinking of funeral arrangements can be daunting at best, but with efficient help of Fred Duncan assisted by Dee, Nancy, and the Loffler Brothers, we were amazed at how easy they made it look. They provided beyond the call of duty help, including picking up a set of important papers at our house, bringing food platters from Publix, and notifying Social Security for the benefits to start. We still look over and talk about the video of pictures that they put together. Dee made us roar with laughter when talking about our loved one. She is a treasure who can weave an interesting and humorous story out of an ordinary life. The vanilla ice cream with cinnamon has become a favorite of lots of people who attended the funeral. Thank you so much!” – Irwin B
