“My dad Ronald Johnson passed away on 11/28/2025. Casper funeral home made it an easy process to put my dad to rest. They allowed me to see him before his cremation, which was very important to me. Cremation was affordable and they was able to ship my dad to remains to me, due to me living in North Carolina. Sorry it took me so long to leave a review, but I would choose and recommend them to anyone.”
