Posted on behalf of my dear friend, Joy:
Zimmerman Harnett Funeral Home gave me great peace of mind. Im a Chicagoan currently living in Seattle. My late husband was a West Coastie who wanted to be buried by my family in our family plot close to ZImmerman Harnetts location. After my husband passed due to a sudden illness, I felt lost and off balance.
Thankfully, I worked with Kevin, a great guy, and wonderful funeral Director. I couldnt ask for better! For medical reasons, I was unable to travel with my husband to his final resting place. Kevin understood what I needed and wanted. He

My family and I were provided a comforting space during our time of grief. Kevin, the owner, is genuine and was a very capable guide through this difficult process.
