Special thanks to Skyway Memorial Gardens for kindness

Five sisters lost their only brother, Peter M. Pedersen. The first sibling to pass.

Skyway Memorial Gardens was so kind to us. We had exceptional service and care from the first phone call to the placement of his ashes.

The cost was affordable and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating to our needs during this heartbreaking time. Included in the fee was the use of the small chapel, which was very comforting.

However, we anticipated a large crowd to attend the service since our family grew up in this area. After talking with them, they offered us the use of the larger room and it worked out perfect. They also arranged a special service area to respectfully place his ashes into a niche on a later date.

Our family cannot say enough about Skyway Memorial Gardens for their assistance and care shown to us during our time of need. Special thanks to Christy Allen Gill, Tracey, Ms. Nebel and Christopher Burtless.
