I am so grateful. A month ago I lost my father, and when I went to see him at the funeral home, he looked like he was smiling. They made him look so handsome. They have so much compassion for the families here and such big hearts, making the farewell less difficult. Thank you so much.

Our family recently used Heritage for a passing three days before Christmas. Despite it being the holidays, the staff at Heritage made themselves available for our needs, day or night, and never complained or remarked about "holiday schedules." They were compassionate and understanding with our unique situations (holiday timing, military honors, sending the deceased to another state - to name a few) and honest about what to expect in dealing with insurance, the V.A., and transporting our loved one out of state after the services. They honored our desires in every way possible and for that, I will FOREVER choose Heritage for my family needs!!!

Google Reviewer

I can't say enough about Kara Johnson & the wonderful Heritage team. From handling the body of our loved one in a respectful & timely manner, taking care of the body without being asked or nudged, to the amazing compassion shown us, this family business is a great asset to the community. We were treated with the utmost care & respect, I was at ease. They are not in it for the money; they are in this business to serve with compassion & provide dignity to families grieving. I will not stop telling everyone about how great they were to us. Thank you once again, Heritage Funeral Home in Marietta, Ga. God bless you all.

West Cobb Funeral Home was so accommodating to me and my family after we suffered the tragic and unexpected loss of my husband. Casey was kind and patient as we navigated through the difficult task of creating a beautiful memorial service to honor his life. The staff was kind, compassionate, and attentive to me and my family during the hours we were at the funeral home. I would recommend them without any hesitation.

We've had several family members and friends cared for at West Cobb Funeral Home. Most recently my parents. The staff were very caring and professional and helped make our loss a little more manageable.

Google Reviewer

I wish there were more stars to give here. I cannot express how grateful I am to the entire staff at West Cobb Funeral Home. It started with the awful moment when I had to select a place quickly while my loved one was in hospice, and Funeral Director Laura Scott picked up the phone. She was so incredibly kind and caring. And then afterwards, when I met with her, again I could feel her sincerity and compassion in helping me through everything. Also, I want to mention everyone else I came in contact with there - whether it was over the phone, or in person, they could not have been more kind and compassionate. I've had several questions and visits since that first one, and it's the same every time, they are so kind. I do not have the words to express how grateful I am to have chosen this place to care for my loved one. It cannot be easy to do what they do every day, helping families at their darkest times. But they do it with grace, compassion, caring and always respect for your

I am so grateful to have found Jeremy, Lawrence, Wyatt, and the deeply caring and kind people at Georgia Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery Winkenhofer Chapel. I just read my dear mothers review after we lost my father in February, 2025. I had no idea that I would lose her in December, 2025 and would be writing one as well. The overwhelming burden of worry about my parents' care, during the sacred transition from home to cremation, was lifted the moment I met the sincere, deeply respectful men who came and prepared each of my parents for transport. I could not have imagined how peaceful and beautiful my parents would look as they were gently and reverently taken into their care. That memory will remain with me always. I thank God that we had the wisdom to preplan arrangements for both of my parents with Georgia Memorial. That decision spared us the anguish of frantically calling funeral homes in our darkest hour, unsure of whom to trust, what questions to ask, what paperwork w

Carmichael Funeral Homes is terrific to work with. Very thorough with details and options. Their Aftercare Call service (Alison Christiansen) was so helpful in advising all the loose ends and provided links and phone numbers for the respective agencies and services. At a time when one can be very overwhelmed they step and help navigate through the process. Many thanks to all!

She got my puppy for me and I am almost center that she was handled with dignity and care. I would not recommend any one else for this service. Marianne is an angel. Alvin was so nice when I went to pick Lola up. They included a sweet paw print of my girl. Wishing this team many blessings in the future, they greatly helped me in my time of need- losing two best friends at once has been hard!

Recently, my husband of 33+ years unexpectedly passed away. His passing was a complete shock to my son and I. Being in complete shock and had no idea what to do. Many times in the past he told me he wanted to be cremated. I wanted to follow his wishes. I found the National Cremation Service of Atlanta. What a blessing it was to find them online. I blindly called them and spoke to Bonnie. Wow! What a surprise it was to have such a special person that promised to help me with the entire process. That statement turned out to be very true. Every question I had throughout the process was answered correctly and promptly. This cremation service is top-notch performing all the tasks for me that I had no idea about. Anyone that is going through a devastating loss as I have should definitely contact The National Cremation Service of Atlanta. You will not be disappointed in the care and concern you will receive from them.
