"My husband and I are in Florida and losing our son was a very sudden and shocking event. JoAnn was so patient, understanding, and kind. She made everything we had to do very easy for us, JoAnn handled everything remotely and professionally. She was always available every time I phoned or emailed. JoAnn is excellent and I feel very comfortable contacting her if I have questions in the future."

Tom was extremely professional and caring in all of our conversations.

"We had prior dealings with Craig Bryan when my father passed, and that is what brought us back to your facilities. Our needs were met with the utmost care and compassion and we thank you for your professional services. It was very important for my mother to be blessed by a Buddhist monk in her passing and your associates saw that that was accomplished. Her ceremony was beautiful and meant a lot to me. Thank you so much! Alex was great!"

Mojica Family June 16, 2022

" It is with pleasure I send this letter recognizing your Director, Shannon for her exceptional service to our family during the passing of my father. While this is always a difficult situation for families, our family brought a special variety of drama, Shannon without a word spoken assessed and managed the situation deftly and exceedingly professionally. Her quit work and kindness beyond the scenes created the perfect environment to allow us to put aside the unimportant and come together to celebrate my dad's life. I also want to add, my father had a rough run at the end, but Shannon's mastery of craft made my dad look like a cross between a college linebacker and a silver haired movie-star, while still looking 100% himself. As with my mom, your firm handled every detail perfectly while anticipating and preparing for any hiccup, and again Bryan-Braker and especially Miss Shannon performed impeccably. My thanks to you and your staff for your kindness and professionalism."

"Gregory Boyko answered all of my questions thoroughly and immediately went to work taking care of numerous details. He was very empathetic, kind, and courteous. He was on top of every detail and suggestions, that alleviated much stress. Services were exceptional and certainly worth the value. Having gone through the experience of losing my sister so unexpectedly, I can't think of anyone more skilled, talented, and caring than Funeral Director Gregory Boyko to walk by your side through the entire ordeal.

At a time of sorrow and pain for my family Joanne and Ernest made things a lot easier to bare with their kindness and understanding! Joanne was very professional, I can call her whenever I had a question and she’d have all the answers! Ernest was very attentive to our needs he always checked on my family during the visitation! He treated my love one with respect and didn’t mind last minute changes! Thank you Joanne and Ernest you made things go smoothly and I’m so glad I went with Bryan-Braker Funeral Home!

"Greg, I want to express to you my appreciation for your professional and kind attention to Lyle and the necessary arrangements. The event could not have been improved upon in any way and your presence and support was greatly appreciated. Even the weather cooperated and the sun broke out as the service was ending! I do want to share a cute little comment. One of the young ones said "Grandma, who is that man that keeps holding your arm?" Guess they were looking out for me already! So cute. Anyhow, thanks again for everything."

"I just wanted to send a quick message to thank you for the kindness that 2 of your employees showed my dear friends. Nicole came with a very dapper looking gentleman, I'm sorry I missed his name although they both introduced themselves. They came to pick up my neighbor. I have helped take care of my neighbor for the last couple of months. His wife, of course, is having a hard time and both your staff were such sweet caring people. Just wanted to thank them. It's greatly appreciated."

"I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to your employee, Nicole. Several months ago I had the painstaking duty of pre-arranging my mother's funeral. Nicole sat down with me, displayed empathy, and showed me the utmost courtesy. I returned to Bryan-Braker to do the last minute details required of a funeral service and finalize the arrangements. Nicole helped me make good, well thought, decisions when I was struggling. She dealt with myself and my niece as we had to choose verses for memory folders, choose pictures, and other details. Again I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the professionalism mixed with the perfect balance of caring that Nicole showed us. She tried and succeeded in making us feel like she was part of our family and would ensure my mother's funeral service would be everything we desired it to be........and it was. I could not be more pleased with Bryan-Braker, Nicole, and the entire staff, including drivers, who assisted me in arranging and executing my mother's funeral service. "

All of our questions about pre-arrangement and what to expect were graciously and thoroughly answered.

"Nicole was the exact person I needed at this time. I felt her sympathy and compassion every time we were together! Nicole was so very helpful during this time. She listened to all my concerns and was able to help me make arrangements that I felt were in my interest and my husbands. I used your services years ago when we lost our son. Then and now I felt taken care of and my wishes were taken care of. Everyone I had contact with at that time were Considerate and very professional. They made me feel my concerns were important to them as they were to me."

"The person on the phone called me promptly and arrange for me to contact Shannon Parra. Shannon did an excellent job explaining the services at Bryan-Braker and gave us pictures to view of flowers, caskets and memorial card options. She was very caring with us. I was extremely happy with the amount of time was got to spend with my Dad during the visitation. He looked handsome and well groomed in his uniform. Excellent presentation of my Dad. Shannon took care of the arrangements for the Navy to be there for the flag presentation were taken care of; It was very touching. Also, white gloves were provided for the pallbearers. Shannon was an exceptional professional. I will always be so grateful for the time she provided us during the visitation to see all our guests and have the eating patio [Garden Court] to see people. Excellent patio area for refreshments."

"...how comfortable, and taken care of we felt after speaking with Greg about everything or anything. He helped guide and advise us with items we needed figuring out; how he treated us with gentleness and respect; calmed our worries; comforted us. He made us feel like long time, cherished friends/sisters! We will never forget his loving kindness!!! Camille (chapel attendant) is AMAZING; totally organized everything to look so beautiful and perfect!! What a gift and talent she has!! She made it look so effortless, but we KNOW it wasn’t, and how hard you ALL worked to make it seem so; to make us feel so...LESS stressed, for lack of a better word! Ron (parking lot attendant) stood in the rain and patiently helped and directed our guests where to park. What a GREAT Team/Family you all have there at Bryan-Braker!!"
