Took great care of my mom body . Very friendly ..
Integrity, that's important to have if you are a funeral director. I never used them for this service (yet), but was riding my bike over the St Claude bridge one day. It's always scary because drivers are irresponsible & make it dangerous for bikers. This huge SUV got very close behind me & honked the horn, like I had some where else to go? He sped by me after we cleared the bridge & I caught him at the light & shared my thoughts. Flash 3-4 weeks later: got a flat as I cleared the bridge one day & was on the sidewalk fixing the tire. The door opens & a gentleman comes out & says "Hey, you're the guy I got into it with on the bridge a while back". I peered up and realized I was outside hie funeral business. Before I could say anything he said; "Sorry, I was wrong & I apologize". I just smiled & thanked him as he got in his car to go. This is the kind of people I wanna do business with, especially important business like his. Integrity.
The staff at Heritage far than exceeded my expectations. Very compassionate, patient, knowledgeable, professional, classy, just underrated! My family and I had a wonderful experience during our time of bereavement....
