I have agree with the previous review. The owner seems to have an inherent ability to deal with those blindsided by the death of a loved one. The business is family run and everyone is patient and understanding. This was the first place I contacted as soon as my father passed away. After speaking with Mr. Byrne on the phone I knew that it would not be neccessary to contact other homes I was considering. I also have to say that the first person I spoke to on the phone, perhaps a daughter, immediately responded in a genuine and compassionate manner, which reduced a great deal of my confusion in the process. The set up is lovely and they allow family to really personalize the service. In my opinion personalization is a most invaluable part of the process. I highly recommended Countryside in all funeral planning circumstances.

In May of this year, I lost my son in a terrible accident. My son was so loved by everyone who knew him, and his passing has left a huge hole in our lives. But I have to take a moment here and express my deepest appreciation for Jim and his family at Countryside Funeral Home. A Mom never thinks she’ll have to plan her son’s funeral, and as it was so sudden, I was very confused and didn’t know the first thing to do. My parents had heard good things about Countryside from their church, so we went over there, not knowing the first thing about how to make arrangements. As soon as Jim started speaking, his tone and demeanor were calming. He was professional but personal, and set our minds at ease. Jim’s main goal is to make sure that a family is able to honor their loved one the way they want it done. He spent a lot of time with us, never hurrying us out, even when we were the last on his schedule. My family and I were very pleased with their service, and the cost was very reasonable. He has a passion for helping people in their time of need, and it is quite evident. This is not just a business to Jim and his family, it is a calling. I highly recommend Jim and Countryside Funeral Home for your time of need.
