We didn’t hold my father’s service in North Carolina, but Mark Blake (manager and funeral director) at Brown-Wynne on St. Mary’s Street went above and beyond to help me navigate the process of moving my father out of state. I was completely unfamiliar with the steps involved in transporting a loved one from death to burial, and Mark guided me every step of the way.
He was available by phone, text, and email, always patient and clear, and gave me the best advice and support I’ve received from anyone in a long time. This was an incredibly difficult moment for my family, and Mark made it so much easier to handle. I will always be grateful to him for that....read full review
