Eastgate Funeral Home Service is awesome, they walked us through the process during our very sensitive time. Ray and Cindy explained each process and the prices are very reasonable.

Thank you Cindy and staff. Cindy was caring, kind and genuine. She provided guidance when we really needed it. I felt comfort, as soon as my son was in her care. Apologies I don't remember her name, but the mortuary cosmotologist really knows her craft because my son looked like an angel. I would like to thank you all for your support during this unimaginable loss.

I chose this home because they were sensitive, caring, and it felt like this wasnt JUST a business transaction for them. They respect your feelings and guide you through the funeral in the best way possible, especially since during it all you cant think straight. They made me feel good despite my pain. Cindy took care of all of us and our concerns. I truly really appreciated her compassion, patience and care. Cindy, thank you for being there for us and for all the other people who come to you guys for the much needed guiding. I know this career path can have a heavy toll, but knowing youre on the other side of our grief, helping us and others is truly such an amazing blessing to have. Take care of yourself Cindy, and know youve made such a heartwarming and everlasting impact in our hearts and souls.

This is a neat cemetary to check out. Many old graves from late 1800's to early 1900's. I sometimes wonder what life was like back then for these people. RIP 4 stars because it could use a new fence, very old and crooked.

I just recently used Heavenly gate funeral services for my husband who had passed; I cannot say enough about the whole journey of preparation to actual service and burial: Tim Jefferson and his staff gave excellent, professional, skillful, knowledgeable service for my loved ones and my family as well was treated with the utmost respect and care: you can really tell this was not their first rodeo. Sooooo professional, knew the answer to every question and had a solution for everything!!The staff as well as Mr Jefferson were superb in all aspects of the cares and service given; as I said before no words cannot convey the outstanding service that was given. It s a good feeling when your loved one has passed and you know they received the best homegoing on EARTH!! We( my family ) and I are so glad we entrusted my husband to the care of Heavenly gate funeral services in Garland Texas. Thank you, thank you thank you!
