My family used Heffner Funeral Chapels & Crematory for the first time in 1982 when my grandmother…read morepassed away. They did such a fantastic job that when other members of the family became ill or died suddenly, we would immediately contact Heffner to make arrangements. When my dad entered hospice care in April and we had to face the fact that he would never get better, we once again contacted Heffner. We selected his coffin and flowers arrangements and went over his life's history with a staff member. Knowing that my dad served in the Army and worked for US AID, he was offered full military honors. We were quite appreciative of that. However, after much discussion with my parents, they opted only for the flag over his casket and declined the rest of the traditional honors. My parents wanted a more intimate Catholic Mass and burial with family and friends only. My dad passed away on August 16, 2016 at 2:30am. Even at that early hour, two members of Heffner came dressed in full suit and tie to collect my dad. They treated his remains with the utmost care and respect and had a flag ready to drape over his body. On the day of my dad's funeral (Tuesday August 23, 2016), Heffner's staff worked tirelessly to guide, seat, offer condolences, and hand out tissues, prayer books, and keepsakes to our 300+ guests at their funeral home, at St. Jospeh's Catholic Church, and at Susquehanna Memorial Gardens. Every guest commented on how peaceful my dad looked, how beautiful the flowers were, how dignified the whole day was, and how wonderfully Heffner's staff catered to everyone. The Heffner family has been in the funeral business for over 100 years. They believe in their services and offer a 100% money back guarantee. I highly recommend them and would use their services again when it is time to say good-bye to another loved one.
