“Harold Reece and his associates simply are the best, most professional people in this industry. When my aunt passed, and even before, Harold went the extra mile to meet all my aunt's requests, our family's desires. Harold went to bat for us 2 years before our need date in battling with a NC funeral home who refused to honor my aunt's request to reassign her insurance policies from that home. Harold and his team are the simply the best, from planning thru actual need.”
