Amazing, loving, caring & patient and also very knowledgeable & comforting funeral company to work with during a time of loss with my in-laws. I would recommend them over and over again. Thank you for your service.
I work at an assisted living facility and, while I have not used Heartlights funeral services, I did get the pleasure of spending time with Abby from Heartlight. She baked heart shaped cookies and made homemade frosting and brought them to our facility with tons of sprinkles for our residents to decorate for Valentines Day. She sat with our residents and reminisced with them about their favorite cookie recipes and much more. She is truly a wonderful person with a kind and caring soul. Any business that prioritizes community outreach and volunteering is a 10 in my book. Thank you, Abby!
Abby was so fun and did a cookie decorating class at the Abbington with the residents. They loved it!
