Testimonials

Justin, the owner of Tri Lakes Funeral and Cremation, is truly exceptional. His service is compassionate, gentle, and deeply supportive. Having him by our side felt like having an advocate during what is likely the hardest moment of your life.

After losing my 23-year-old son, I was completely numb. I wasn’t prepared and had no idea what the steps were or what to expect. Justin took care of everything—literally every detail—so we didn’t have to carry that burden while grieving.

He also provided us with a piece of cremation jewelry so I could hold my son close, which meant more than words can express. He communicated consistently with my husband, was always available via text, and patiently answered questions about next steps. His presence alone brought a sense of calm during chaos.

Most importantly, he took such great care of my son. I am forever grateful for Justin and the way he guided us through this process with dignity, respect, and heart.

This is where you go. Period.

Justin and Tri Lakes is a 10 out of 10 experience. My boys and I were barely able to function at the sudden passing for their mother. After making numerous calls to local funeral venues, Justin BY FAR was the most empathetic who seemed to know exactly where families are emotionally in the wake of tragedy. His genuine, loving and caring embrace of our situation was like a breath of fresh air in the midst of tragedy. I cannot tell you how "ABOVE AND BEYOND" Justin went to repeatedly educate us on the myriad of decisions in every facet of the process. Despite the tragedy we experienced, Justin's experience, insight and connections with the community proved invaluable as we considered cemeteries, and "Celebration of Life" options. In short, Justin's communication with us and constant support was spectacular during this devastating time in our life. He exceeded our expectations with the beautiful venue he has in a peaceful mountain setting to celebrate our loved ones' Celebration of Life.
10 out of 10 customer support, care, empathy to uniquely meet the needs of every family he serves. !!!

Where do we even start?

Justin continues to be such a light in one of the darkest periods of our life. After our 21-year old daughter, Sydney was killed in a motorcycle accident on January 2nd, 2025, Justin immediately picked her up for us and lovingly allowed our family to take the time we needed to say goodbye.

We spent hours with Sydney, and Justin even allowed us to take a mold of her hand. Justin got her fingerprints for us and even took it upon himself to get some of her hair (which I hadn't even thought of). He even drove to our home to help show us how to put her ashes in her urn.

He was patient, kind, and loving, and we couldn't be more impressed with his service and empathy.

Thank you, Justin. Your actions will be remembered always, and were so powerful at a time when our hearts were broken...

With the sudden passing of my dear husband, Justin with Tri-Lakes Funeral and Cremation has been here to answer all my countless questions and compassionately take care of all matters in these most sad and confusing times.


The Johnston family is forever grateful to Justin Ryan.

Nothing short of phenomenal. My mother passed while one of my brothers was already in town. The mortuary she went to initially would not commit to being able to have her service same week until we told them we had to go with someone else. We called Justin and he literally moved heaven and earth to have her service. Everything was perfect and costs were reasonable. Thank you for going the extra mile.

A light in a dark time. I can not thank you all enough for everything you did during this sad time. I was able to fulfill everything my Dad wanted with his passing thanks to Justin and his company. The care, hardwork and knowledge Justin put into our family and this process was amazing.

What a wonderful experience in such a time of great loss. Justin went the extra to transport our mom back to her hometown for burial. He stopped at our family's request to get a blessing from our local church. He drove out of town with short notice. Our family will be forever grateful to Justin for caring, prompt service he provided for our beloved mother and family. You will not go wrong in choosing TriLakes for your funeral needs. Thank you so much Justin. Blessings!

I lost my wife of 45 years this January and was completely loss on what to do. Justin at Tri-Lakes was very friendly and took the time I needed to walk me through my options. He stayed in touch with me and even offered to bring me something to eat. He even stopped by a few days later to check in on me. I feel you can't go wrong with Tri-Lakes Funeral when the unfortunate happens to you.
