Transparent about what was and was not included

We used this Ithaca team to pre-plan instead of waiting for a crisis. They were direct about package ranges, documents, and which decisions could wait.

Good chapel and livestream setup

The staff kept the service moving without making the room feel rushed. Streaming, seating, and family handoffs were all explained before guests arrived.
