"Over the top from preplannig to burial.  Everyone was pleased and dad would have been happy to know all his wishes were carried out as he had planned.  The staff you had at the church was extraordinary!  Very professional and respectful of us at all times.   Also, dad had been critically ill the weeks before he died.  Whoever worked with his body, especially his face, really did an outstanding job—he looked well rested and ready for eternal peace.  Difficult to say about a body, but he looked really good, handsome and not at all made up.  He had scars on his lips when he died from all the tubes in his mouth and nose and we could not even see these.  That really helped us heal a bit."   Susie Goetz
