Jack and Dottie Vodrazka, Funeral Director
I grew up living above my parents’ funeral home. I was inspired by their willingness to give of themselves and help others in their time of difficulty.
We have been told by many of the families we have served, that it is a comfort to them to know that when they call upon us in their time of need, that they will meet with a professional staff, who will provide them with a variety of options when making funeral arrangements, and that carrying out the arrangements with attention to detail is our prime concern.
