It was great working with Legacy Funeral especially during this time difficult time of having a relative pass. Nick made the process very smooth and easy. He explained everything perfectly and constantly kept in contact with next steps to make sure everything was coordinate between the church and the cemetery. During the funeral he was also very attentive and helped coordinate making the day very special. Highly recommend them and appreciate all that they did.

Legacy Funeral and Cremation Care was so pleasant to work with in the passing of my StepDad. They kept me posted along his journey and even went above and beyond to return his ashes to his family in Michigan for me. Thank Legacy Funeral for your services.

I highly recommend coming here for your loved ones. I was in Hawaii when my brother passed and Noah helped me with all the paperwork. He arranged everything and his professionalism It’s just outstanding. Noah was such a big help to us. We also went there when our father passed and once again we were well taken care of. We are a military family and so is Noah. Thank you so much for caring for our family.

At Legacy they are amazing! I really didn’t think this process would be that easy but they helped me to know everything I needed to know and treated me with such patience and kindness. Thank you, Nick, for going above and beyond to answer all of my questions and taking care of everything for me! I also appreciated the grief videos that were sent. Sending back many blessings your way!
