I am a 68 year old widowed parent, who learned on July 1st my dear 42 yr. old daughter had several large brain tumors (already bleeding ); and died ten days later. This Mother can't express deeply enough my praise and thankfulness to the entire staff at Terrace Park - for ALL of the assistance during the most darkess time of my and my familys' lives. It was obvious the two ladies knew what they were doing however, they did so with understanding, professionalism and compassion. On the day of the funeral, my daughter looked absolutely beautiful.

They want an additional $1000 if my family has a pastor say a prayer at the interment of my mother's ashes. They say they require a funeral director's presence even though Missouri law does not require it.
