During my mother's passing, it was nice to know that the funeral services were taken care of by professionals who were compassionate. Who were understanding to our burial rituals (not the common funeral that most people would have.) They were understanding of us having a shaman who had to perform sacred things prior to the burial of my mother. Thank you for all you have done and even when I see my mother's video online, it still brings tears to my eyes of the loving memories we shared with her. Thank you for making that day a special day. I would highly recommend your services to friends and family as they deal with the passing of their loved ones. Keep you the amazing work.

To Steve Dillard (owner), I would like to thank you and your staff for handling my Dad’s funeral arrangements. Your staff was so professional and observing to our every need. It actually made my job as the family coordinator a breeze because George and the rest of your staff went above and beyond their normal job description duties. There is no way to describe the feelings for our loss but I can tell you that your funeral home and staff made our lives so much easier. I am a native of Visalia and would have no problem recommending your funeral plan and home to anyone based on your professionalism and dedication to service. Again thank you for everything. May God bless, Cruz Huerta Jr.

Thank you. Two small words for such a big feeling. Your kindness really made a difference... Your thoughtfulness really touched my heart... The gratitude I feel really can't be put into words. Please convey my appreciation to your entire staff too for all their efforts! And additional thanks for taking care of my mother's ashes too and getting the permit so that she and Mike can be together once again. Marsha Blackmore

"Thank you for making us feel so comfortable... You treated us with such respect. I have recommended your funeral home highly, just on the way we were treated; other places treated the situation like business, you treated us like we were family and that is what the public wants."

A newborn death isn’t easy for anyone; when our son was born stillborn of course it broke us. He was not only our first but our very first pregnancy. When he was born we had to talk about making arrangements for him. My first thought was Salser and Dillard. I knew they’d take great care of our son. We got to see him and hold our precious little boy one more time and they were so kind and gentle with him. It gave me peace to see my son rest so peacefully. They gave me peace. We thank them for being kind and caring in this difficult time.
