Transparent about what was and was not included
We used this Scranton 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.
