Review[edit]

The brief history is interesting, as well as the change of ownership. The article needs more information about services or contacts. For example, on the funeral home's website, there is a large focus on "grief support". The funeral home website lists several organizations that provide grief support for parents, children, and even people who need online support. A specific address and phone numbers could also be listed on your article. The funeral home also specializes in a variety of services that are not even mentioned in this Wikipedia article. For example, the funeral home specializes in cremation, insurance, aftercare, and many more. All of this information would be useful in this article.

I think you should make a different section on the owner of the funeral home. Talking about how he owned a majority of the redbirds does not quite fit in with the history of the funeral home. Taybrown (talk) 14:06, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I changed the section heading to "civic leadership". This may be more appropriate. Thanks. Richard Apple (talk) 03:55, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary Sentence[edit]

The sentance "They also offer cremation and memorial services for a cheaper price" should be removed, as it doesn't belong in an encyclopedic setting. Ljnayr (talk) 02:33, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It seems to have been removed. Thanks. Richard Apple (talk) 03:55, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
