“Las Rosas Funeral Home goes above and beyond when it comes to attention to detail, respect for your beloved, comfort, support, and care.

Robert, Esteban, and George were so friendly and caring – they even went out of their way to help me with transportation, and receive my brother's cremation remains in a very timely, generous, and effective manner.

They returned phone calls and emails promptly and with courtesy and clarity.

I would highly recommend them in your time of need. The interior is a cozy family like environment. And the location is pretty easy to get to, off of the main highways in the area. I extend my deep thanks and appreciation.
