"My experience at Arch L Heady couldn't have been any better. Ann was very kind and thoughtful. We had told her how Mark (deceased) was a U of L fan and she added Louisville Cardinals decorations to the room he was laid out in. His portrait also had a U of L touch to it. That made me feel good. The family thought I had done the U of L touch, I let them know this was from the funeral home. Thank you for all you did. Much appreciated."

"Staff were extremely helpful from planning our cultural funeral for dad. We never felt discriminated by the language difference. Staff were patient and understanding as we needed extra time for those flying in overseas and across the states. We never had to go and seek out staff when we needed extra utensils/plates or an extra coffee pot refilled."
