Losing a loved one is so painful and then trying to make the proper decisions regarding the funeral arrangements can be an added burden. Heath Himes at the Heath-Anderson Funeral Home facilitated the process making it bearable and pain free. He was supportive, thorough and extremely accessible. Mom would have been very pleased with her send off thanks to Heath Himes at the Heath-Anderson Funeral Home, and the thumb print pendant is a beautiful keepsake. Thanks for helping our family through a difficult, sad time.

What a change from Heaths. Glad I wont have anymore family funerals there. Its what I would call we take care of the body. You are on your own from there on out. If I lived up there I would be finding another funeral home

Joe and Garrett were so kind to my Grandchildren. I wanted to tell you that Londyn Porter saw a picture of the funeral home and she told us that she knew that place. When asked she told us that, "that is Heaven cause Mommy and Daddy are there" Through the mind of a child who as always brings tears to my eyes. Thank you!

Our family, (the Wilbur Moore family), was very pleased with the service provided by Garrett, Joe, and Martin during this difficult time. They were all very kind and compassionate. They took care of everything for us. Some things that were not even expected of them. We appreciated it greatly! Also, the video screens are absolutely a wonderful addition. So thoughtful!
