I never felt rushed, prodded, or like it was business as usual. All the logistical items were clear, and Racheal took the time to explain everything in detail. Racheal definitely took our feelings and emotions seriously and that was very much appreciated. Best Funeral Services showed great respect and care throughout.

We met with Michelle Fennell several times. She was caring and made us feel very comfortable throughout both our pre-need arrangements and during the recent passing of my father-in-law. She also contacted us after the interment, showing concern.

The staff at Crestwood exceeded my expectations. I was apprehensive about making burial arrangements during the pandemic but moments after walking in the door my fears were calmed. I was highly impressed with the precautions they are taking to avoid transmitting the virus. I felt very comfortable with the surroundings. Racheal was kind and compassionate during this difficult time. I wasn't expecting to leave with this degree of peace of mind.

A special thank you to Kristy Peek. She assisted our family at a very difficult time. She was very professional and answered all of our questions with care. This was the first time that I had to deal with the death of a close family member and she made the process easier to handle.

The Memorial Candle Program has been designed to help offset the costs associated with the hosting this Tribute Website in perpetuity. Through the lighting of a memorial candle, your thoughtful gesture will be recorded in the Book of Memories and the proceeds will go directly towards helping ensure that the family and friends of Ronald Tennyson can continue to memorialize, re-visit, interact with each other and enhance this tribute for future generations.

Thank you.

Leaving a Condolence

Step #1 - Navigate to the Condolences & Tributes tab on the left, and then click on "View Condolences".

Step #2 - Click on the gray bar labeled "Leave a Condolence" at the top center of the page.

Step #3 - Enter the name of the person who is leaving the condolence message.

Step #4 - Enter the email address of the person who is leaving the condolence message.

Step #5 - Enter a condolence message in the text box. You will be alerted to any misspellings by the system (with a red line under the suspected misspelling, and with a right click of your mouse, you'll be given alternative suggestions).

Step #6 - Complete the "Captcha" question, designed to ensure that the response is generated by a human being.

Step #7 - Place a check mark inside the box if you wish to make the condolence message private (optional).

Step #8 - Click the "Post Condolence" button.

Step #9 - There is the option to provide feedback about this service. You may choose to enter a comment and select "Submit Comment", or simply select "No Thanks".

Step #10 - Once the condolence has been submitted, you will be taken to the Condolences page. At this point (if you've not already done so) you can do one of three things: make the condolence private (if you had originally set it to be a public message), modify the condolence, or remove it completely.

For Families

Once a condolence has been sent, only the public condolences will be displayed within the Book of Memories™. Private condolences will not be shown. You will be able to view all of the private condolences either by using the Family Log-in feature or having your email address included in the Condolence Email List. This is a list of recipients in which all of the condolences will be sent to (family and/or friends).

Either can be done within the client editor. If you are a family member and have questions about receiving private messages of condolence, please contact us.

Please Note:

The condolences will be sent to all email addresses within the Condolence Email List at 4am and 4pm (EST) only.

All condolences are filtered for keywords that are not appropriate.
