From the very first call, everyone I spoke with was kind, patient, and understanding. They walked me through every step of the cremation process for my father, answering all my questions clearly and with compassion. They also made the arrangements smooth even though I was coordinating everything from California for services in St. Louis. I felt confident and cared for the entire time, which meant so much to me during such a difficult moment. I truly appreciate the respect and professionalism they showed to my family and to my father's memory. I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone who wants to work with people who treat your loved one with dignity and care.

The location is convenient and can be found easily. There is plenty of parking in the front and back of the building for all your family and friends. On the inside, you will find a small dining area with coffee pot and sink. A small spot to sit and collect yourself when you need to. On the opposite side of the mini kitchenette, there is more seating with bigger and more comfy chairs. The room that everything takes place in is large, and has lots of seating. You can line the walls with boards and photos and memories of the one you lost and it seems that you would never run out of space to add more. They even help provide a couple easels and tables for you to set up memory boards or framed photos. The gentleman who sat with my family as we planned my mother's funeral was a very kind and caring gentleman. He did his best to explain all the options to our family and gave his recommendations on what would be best. He was never pushy or inconsiderate. He made the experience as painless as it possibly could be, given the circumstances of the situation. There were more than enough options for caskets, flowers, memory cards, and other details. So many options that sometimes it's hard to choose what's best. However, lots of options meant that there was plenty to choose from in various price ranges. They will help make what you want happen in a price range that is comfortable for you. They also put on a slideshow with music during the funeral of photos that you can provide to them. Any flowers that are delivered are promptly set up in beautiful displays. They didn't even have a problem with my family leaving the flowers there for an additional day so we could pick them up later. They also provide an additional service that I think is unlike any other. When a loved one passes, they take a fingerprint. That fingerprint is put on a necklace and given to you free of charge. You can order more if you pay, but the first one is free. And that small little detail became absolutely everything to me. You can personalize a message on the back of the necklace to complete your final memory and the finished product is almost too beautiful to wear. Communication here is amazing. They really take your feelings and your needs into consideration. They take one of the worst things you could imagine and make it somewhat tolerable. The death of a loved one is never easy and it breaks your heart. The last thing you want is to struggle through it blindly with little care or regard from others. That's why Heiligtag is so amazing. They really genuinely, from the bottom of their hearts, care. And they do nearly everything for you so you don't have to worry about a thing. Just show up and they'll help you do the rest. No matter who you talk to or what details you decide on, you'll be so glad you came to Heiligtag!

Both of my parents are buried here. My father in 2006 and my mother most recently. The once-…read morebeautiful facility is no more. And that hurts my already grieving heart more. From a funeral perspective, the staff were the gracious and gentle presence a family needs in their dark hours. The staff was attentive, ever present and accommodating to our needs. My only criticism is the failure to get mom's obituary to the local BND, despite our providing it more than 48 hours before her visitation. As the only daily paper in the metro East area, I find that unforgivable. Other papers were not published until after her internment, resulting in many people not knowing she passed until it was too late to pay their respects. I'd also suggest that the dependency on the Dignity funeral planner app not be the focal point of the meeting with the family to finalize arrangements. While I appreciate the need for a consistent process, hovering around a big screen to click-through the available options is akin to finalizing the order of a new car and diminishes the dignity of the need to finalize such details. And - be warned - the upsell on adjacent plots is both ill-timed AND inappropriate. The worst - and most sustained - grievance, however is the overall disrepair and neglected appearance of the facility and grounds. Their entrance sign needs to be repaired, as letters are all sun-worn, faded and peeling off. The landscaping - even around the main building entrance - is overgrown with weeds, eroded beds and overgrown plantings. I guess the old "make a good first impression" advice is lost on them. The grounds are deplorable. Headstones are sinking, overgrown with weeds and, at least for my parents' stone, suffering from the appearance it has been hit a few too many times by a lawn mower. The planting bed immediately in front of their plot has dead plantings and appears to not have been mulched for years. That is WHOLLY UNACCEPTABLE. Even after pointing it out to the staff, no attempt was made to even pull a few weeds and toss down some mulch to make the graveside service slightly more acceptable. The preparation for the internment left a large hole that more than one family member lost their footing against and slipped against Mom's casket as they paid final respects. I am thankful no one was injured and that the unthinkable was prevented. I pray staff pay attention to this post and make a sincere effort to up their game in maintaining the type of final resting place my parents invested in. Their memory deserves much, much better than this.
