“It was such peace of mind that I had walking out of the office the day I made the arrangements for myself, my husband and my brother who lives alone and does not have children. Tom Gibson was very helpful and knowledgeable of all the details and took his time answering my questions. The best part is that the prepaid arrangements are good at any of their locations all over the U.S. Unfortunately, we we needed the service for my husband just six months later but everything went smoothly and professionally, what a blessing it was.”
“Losing my father has been the most painful and overwhelming experience of my life, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the compassion and support shown by Heritage Cremation & Burial Society. From the very beginning, Elizabeth, John, and Ashleigh treated my family and me with genuine care, gentleness, and respect. Elizabeth reached out multiple times just to check on how I was doing—not because she had to, but because she truly cared. Her messages were heartfelt and comforting, and during such a heavy time, her kindness truly meant the world to me. John and Ashleigh were equally supportive, patient, and professional, guiding us through every step with empathy and understanding. Nothing about the process felt rushed or transactional. They handled my father with dignity, and they helped us navigate everything with clarity and compassion. Their warmth brought my family so much peace at a time when we desperately needed it. I am truly grateful for the respect, care, and humanity shown to us. Heritage Cremation & Burial Society helped carry us through one of the hardest moments of our lives, and I highly recommend them to any family experiencing loss. Thank you, Elizabeth, John, and Ashleigh. Your kindness will never be forgotten.”
“From the very first phone call to the last my experience with them was the best that it could be under the circumstances of my Brothers very sudden illness and then passing.Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful.She explained ever step that was happening and kept me in communication with her updating as we went along I can't say enough about this company and the people that work there I found them to be kind,sympathetic and honest and straight forward. I purchased the Urn for my Brother from their showroom there prices are very competitive if not lower than other places I looked into and no pressure or upselling which I found comforting. John and Elizabeth checked in to see how are family was doing after several weeks after the cremation. Our family appreciated that kind gesture.what a great company that cares and in our world now days that's tough to find”
