My mother passed suddenly and unexpectedly. She was an awesome person and loved by family and friends. Planning a funeral for a loved one is difficult but Lincoln Heritage made it much easier. One phone call and they were in touch with the Funeral director. In addition, the customer service representative was kind, caring and fully understood what was happening. The service provided by Lincoln Heritage made everything more bearable. Thank you Lincoln Heritage for your condolences and prayers. Sheila Cato Wanzer
