I can take care of your IL calls as well as your MO calls. If you just need a break, think about calling me to come do your embalming on a case by case basis. You need me, I come; you don't need me, you don't need to call. I have several clients here in IL who make their own removals and then call me to come do the embalming. This frees them up to do other things or just go back to bed. I'm on call 24/7 and rarely unavailable. I take care of calls on a first come, first serve basis. If you would like any info, just give me a call on my cell (217) 440-8500. MMSS, 1171 Rodgers Street, Barry, IL 62312. E-mail: digger1989@yahoo.com.
