    A family business with a personal touch

    At Thom Kight & Company, we assist families with the important decisions and practical arrangements that come with saying goodbye to loved ones.

    Tom Keight founded the company in 1981, earning a reputation for managing every detail with sensitivity and empathy. Today, three generations of his family continue that tradition, with personal supervision at every step to make sure you get the best care during a difficult and often stressful time.

    We have years of experience in arranging and overseeing burials, cremations, funerals and memorial services.

    We also have expertise in international repatriation worldwide.
