It saddens me to write this review! I've been here all too often during the last year…read more I live in a tiny town known as a retirement mecca and with a high average age. As you might expect, the pandemic has ravaged the town! Many of these unfortunate folks have been my friends and acquaintances and have had their services here. Atmosphere- This is a tiny place next door to a large cemetery. It doesn't look like much from the outside. Sometimes, parking can be a huge challenge! Once you get inside the rooms are beautifully decorated in an understated way. Everything is spotless. Customer Service- Everyone that has touched me has been sensitive to the emotional trauma that visiting here entails. I fervently wish that I would never need to visit here again but sadly, I know that is wishful thinking. Their ability to deal with an emotional and difficult situation is exceptional!

I must say Joshua is a very respectful and caring person. They were very transparent, which we truly liked, the first thing he gave us was a price list. The price was reasonable and there were no hidden fees. The next day we met with Blair which was also a nice person and not a pushy salesman. I would definitely recommend this funeral home because they treat you with compassion and they went above and beyond to accommodate us, since unfortunately we ended up using their services a lot faster than expected. Overall, they were punctual, compassionate, and very friendly. My family and I are very thankful for the beautiful service and special thanks to Joshua, for accommodating my family and myself the day after my dad died, which 8 of us showed up to his office for the final planning and he was very comforting at this difficult time. Thank you and I have recommended it to all our friends and family in Sebring.

Over the years our poor record keeping meant that in 2018 we were unsure where his final resting place was. Craig Nelson answered the phone (outside of normal business hours!) and took down what little information I had. He promised to see what he could find and arranged a time to call me back. He went above and beyond to locate the records and help us figure out where my great grandfather was buried and all of us are so thankful. They don't use an answering service, so I was able to talk to him right away. He was kind, helpful, professional and empathetic - I can't imagine a better character for someone in this industry. He didn't try to brush off my call or delay returning my call, even though we were customers 40+ years ago. He treated me with respect and kindness. For a family who is grieving, I doubt there's a better place to gather and remember loved ones lost.

I visited the Heartwood Preserve after reading an article about the facility in the Tampa Bay…read moreTimes. The grounds are open to the public during normal business hours. I walked the cemetery and the preserve. I didn't inquire info or pricing of services.. A description of what I viewed while on the property is below along with several photos. The Heartwood Preserve is a medium size property and is essentially the same environment as Starkey Park. In fact, the most southwest corner of Starkey Park borders the Heartwood Preserve. The border fence can seen on the preserve trial which is probably a quarter mile long. I walked through the cemetery portion of the property viewing two graves. Small grave markers can be seen along the trail indicating gravesites. One grave not pictured was circled by pinecones with pineneedles a top. Each gravesite was directly beside the cemetery pathway (not paved) identical to many field like trials at Starkey where many fan shaped palm fronds are. The welcome center was staffed when I visited and a separate employee was tending to the grounds and politely waved and smiled. I learned a lot by walking the property on my own and will consider burial on these grounds.
