Care Is Paramount
"A family we were serving was told by the coroner that an open casket wasn't an option for their loved one. Thanks to the professional preparation and restorative art skills of GT Trade, they were able to have an open casket and receive the closure that would help them to begin with their healing process."

Prompt & Caring Turnaround
"Our firm was in a unique situation while serving a family that was from out of town who had to return home a day after the viewing and services were held. The loved one was transported to GT Trade for cremation after the service concluded, and they were so accommodating and provided such a quick process that the family was able to depart town with their loved one's cremated remains the next day."
