Google Reviews “Although it was anticipated, when my dad passed away, pre-arrangements had not been made. So when he did pass, I called Casper Funeral Services and was directed to first fill out the forms online, which was a very easy process. I then called them back and spoke with Kenny. Kenny walked me through the entire process, gave me different options with prices. I never felt he was "selling" me anything. On the day of the funeral, it was very well organized and everyone at Casper Funeral Services were very helpful. We requested a priest and they recommended Father Kennedy. He did a great job and all family members left with a sense of peace. Thank you, Kenny, Father Kennedy and all other staff members at Casper Funeral & Cremation Services for making this difficult time so much easier to handle.”
