I wish to say thank you again for the care, concern, and professionalism shown from you and each of your staff members at Garden View Funeral Home. Even though my aunt had pre-arranged her affairs there were still a few decisions to be made and I appreciate your helpfulness and kindness throughout the proceedings.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding manner in which Mike Johnson and his staff assisted our family during the recent passing of my mother... From our initial contact to the final moments when Mom was laid to rest in Indianapolis, Mike and his staff were professional, yet compassionate as they gave attention to every detail of our needs.

My sisters and I wanted to write a special note of thanks to Mike Johnson and the entire staff at Garden View Funeral Home with the passing of our mother on November 18, 2012. Mike and his staff were courteous and very attentive to our needs and special wishes. While this is always a difficult time, the staff was compassionate and succeeded in making everything perfect for us.
