It is not possible to have had a more professional, helpful and empathetic experience. The process of a christian burial is overwhelming. Much to do in little time. There is an announcement and obituary that must be written, casket selection, cemetery plot, images for a memorial slideshow, song selection for the church, selection of readers and pall bearers, a portrait must be selected and much, much more.
Erin, Rebecca and David didn't just assisted with each task, they bent over backwards to make sure everything was perfect. There was a template to help with the obituary, guided assistance for selecting just the right casket and a portal for uploading pictures. No matter what it was, it never seemed like it was any trouble at all for them. Also, we were never hurried. They sat and talked as long as we wanted to. David even came by our house after the service and sat and talked to my dad for what must have been an hour. And wouldn't you know, after writing the obituary, we found typos! Panic set in. Erin, made the requested changes with Legacy and the newspaper. Thank you!!! Rebecca patiently guided us through many of the decisions that needed to be made. She is gentle, thorough and reassuring.
Chapter II. After getting together with my siblings to plan the services, all three of us contracted COVID. That meant we could never attend the services that we planned. Again, the memorial crew jumped in to help. Before the viewing, they placed mom, the flowers and memorial slideshow in an outdoor patio. We were allowed an hour with mom while isolating from others. I am eternally grateful for that simple act. The other services were live streamed so that we were able to view the services from home.
After the service, they brought the flowers by our house and gave up a beautiful memorial book and crucifix to keep. Thank you just doesn't seem enough. read more
