"If you want to see your loved one look better then they have ever looked, if you want to see them so peaceful that it doesn't seem real then this is the place for you! The exceptional level of help, the outstanding level of sympathy, care and concern is the best ever! The funeral director is one of the most exceptional human beings I've ever met. Everything was just OVERLY EXCEPTIONAL and PERFECT! At the saddest time of our lives, it was the most remembering and the most beautiful experience of our lives and we couldn't be more thankful and proud that Berry Highland South handled our Mother with the best care and an exceptional service. Written by, Barbara A. Canter"
