  Dan Ciha
  On behalf of our family we want to thank you personally as well as acknowledge all the staff members at Gay & Ciha Funeral home who helped organized, plan, arranged the awesome creative lay out and formatting of pictures for our Mom’s program.
  
  Even though I had met you before, it was the first time my siblings had met you when you drove in from Iowa City late Thursday March 29th to pick up our Mother. Your professionalism, tenderness care and understanding were above and beyond what we could have ever expected.
  
  Knowing how out of it we all were that night, without hesitation you offered to come back the next morning to go over details for the Obituary, program etc. You kept us focused yet gave us the time we needed to absorb all that was happening and needed to get done. You suggested that we take as much time needed for the personal closure. I think some of us thought we didn’t need it including myself. When we all decided as a family to stand by her side that Saturday morning one final time it was such a relief for us all! We now have with us her memory being that of peacefulness. Your staff did exceptional!
  
  We appreciated you as the Funeral Director as you personally handled everything from start to finish making sure all the details were perfect. Your facilities at 2720 Muscatine Ave, Iowa City, IA 52240 made the perfect setting for our ‘Mother’s Celebration of Life’ I cannot express to you how many family and friends that attended stated that it was unlike anything they’ve ever seen and was just a wonderful ‘Celebration’
  
  Great Job and Thanks again from the Family of Verona Irma Ruiz.
  
  Thanks

  Dan and the staff were very helpful when my father-in-law passed. My husband looked at different reviews and decided on Gay & Ciha. When talking to others, they were impressed with all the Dan and his staff did to help. They did a lot, when we needed them to. The little things help so much, and we are glad they were the ones that were there to assist with all of it.

  I can't say enough good things about Dan Ciha and Gay and Ciha funeral and cremation service . Dan was kind and compassionate. He helped us every step of the way. I never felt pressured in any way. He often anticipated problems and offered suggestions and solutions. He went above and beyond in every way.

  I highly recommend Gay and Ciha funeral home. My family and I were fortunate to work with Dan Ciha. His compassion shines in everything he does. He walked us through all the details and answered all of our questions. He has an amazing ability to make you feel stronger just by entering the room. He knows how to set the tone and manage the environment. The funeral home is tasteful and comforting. I cannot recommend Gay and Ciha enough.
