We want to thank Tim and everyone at Ruggles. Tim went above and beyond with everyone there planning my wife's arrangements. I could have never gotten everything planned out without their help and guiding us through it all. It was a beautiful service. Thank you all.

From the time I arrived at Ruggles Wilcox, Tim Wright and everyone were so helpful, friendly, professional, and courteous. Always with a smile and accommodating. They expressed genuine care, concern, listened, gave advice and helped with all my needs and questions with my dad's funeral and burial arrangements. They did a great job fixing my dad up and had him ready in a timely manner. The casket was beautiful (I had compliments on the casket at the funeral). They handled it well and respectfully. At the funeral, Tim guided and informed the family what we needed to do and what to expect before, during and after the funeral and burial. Afterwards, Tim stayed at the burial site till the job was completed. Thank you, Tim. All the facility was very clean, comfortable and relaxing. It couldn't have been any better. My family has always used and relied on Ruggles funeral home for generations. They are the best in this area as far as I'm concerned. Even through this very hard time for my family and I, Ruggles Willcox made the experience as easy as possible. I would highly recommend Ruggles Wilcox to everyone. Thank you for everything y'all did for my family and my dad. Tim Wright also made it possible to get a vault at the last minute after my brother realized Dad didn't have one! Thank you, Tim! You came through for us even at the last minute!!!!

The visitation was very well done...However, for the graveside service, the casket was backward so we were left staring at the hinges on the casket. The funeral attendant should have made sure the men had the casket ready and placed on the stand properly and turned to where the family was looking at their loved one. There was no opportunity to say final goodbyes for those who could not make the visitation nor was there the opportunity to hug the family at the end when ppl would place a rose on the casket and walk through under the canopy. Since none of those things were done the attendant stood up and said that concludes this service. People were kind of left in limbo. The one positive thing was Pastor Greg Lathem. He did a wonderful job.
