Every employee we worked with was kind, helpful, and compassion, starting with the on-call funeral director to every person involved with the services we received. Isabelle was our assigned director we worked with, and she has been excellent. She responds to messages quickly and has helped us with so many details. Another employee that stands out is Teresa who served our family the day of the cremation. Her presence was compassionate and much needed in that moment. From start to finish, our options were explained to us, and they helped us provide a beautiful memorial service for my dad. They took care of so many details and beautiful touches for us.

I will be filing a formal complaint and police report. Apparently everyone in town knows not to use this funeral home since Nancy is no longer there. I wish I had known.

Well done!! I look forward to the day you close your doors permanently. Everyone uses Midlawn now for a reason.

From St. Mary's Catholic Church located in High Ridge, MO to the lunch which moved to Catawisa, MO, Russell Colonial's staff provided; professional, organized, warm and caring direction and guidance. They were involved in every aspect of the day, but seem to blend in, unnoticed with all the emotions and sadness of the day. I was greatly impressed by the performance of all their staff. Thank you for helping to create a BEAUTIFUL day for departed friend. Terry Kramer

The location is convenient and can be found easily. There is plenty of parking in the front and back of the building for all your family and friends. On the inside, you will find a small dining area with coffee pot and sink. A small spot to sit and collect yourself when you need to. On the opposite side of the mini kitchenette, there is more seating with bigger and more comfy chairs. The room that everything takes place in is large, and has lots of seating. You can line the walls with boards and photos and memories of the one you lost and it seems that you would never run out of space to add more. They even help provide a couple easels and tables for you to set up memory boards or framed photos. The gentleman who sat with my family as we planned my mother's funeral was a very kind and caring gentleman. He did his best to explain all the options to our family and gave his recommendations on what would be best. He was never pushy or inconsiderate. He made the experience as painless as it possibly could be, given the circumstances of the situation. There were more than enough options for caskets, flowers, memory cards, and other details. So many options that sometimes it's hard to choose what's best. However, lots of options meant that there was plenty to choose from in various price ranges. They will help make what you want happen in a price range that is comfortable for you. They also put on a slideshow with music during the funeral of photos that you can provide to them. Any flowers that are delivered are promptly set up in beautiful displays. They didn't even have a problem with my family leaving the flowers there for an additional day so we could pick them up later. They also provide an additional service that I think is unlike any other. When a loved one passes, they take a fingerprint. That fingerprint is put on a necklace and given to you free of charge. You can order more if you pay, but the first one is free. And that small little detail became absolutely everything to me. You can personalize a message on the back of the necklace to complete your final memory and the finished product is almost too beautiful to wear. Communication here is amazing. They really take your feelings and your needs into consideration. They take one of the worst things you could imagine and make it somewhat tolerable. The death of a loved one is never easy and it breaks your heart. The last thing you want is to struggle through it blindly with little care or regard from others. That's why Heiligtag is so amazing. They really genuinely, from the bottom of their hearts, care. And they do nearly everything for you so you don't have to worry about a thing. Just show up and they'll help you do the rest. No matter who you talk to or what details you decide on, you'll be so glad you came to Heiligtag!
