Beautiful well cared for facility. The staff was kind and compassionate and answered all our questions and went over and above to make sure a time of grief was a time of remembrance for our loved one. I highly recommend Max.A. Sass. we were at the Franklin location but they are probably all nice. The Franklin location Mission Hills is outstanding. Thank you Megan and everyone else for the great kind service.

My mom's funeral was very nice, mom looked so natural and they even got her slight smile that wamed my heart. The people we worked with were amazing and not pushy.
