Mr. Rick guided with empathy in a difficult time. He and his staff went over and beyond for my Husband, Don Milam! They helped ensure his last wishes were perfect and that his last ride with his towing professionals was a success. I can't express my family's appreciation enough for all of the personal touches! Thank you al!

My husband passed suddenly recently and Stephen Brown helped me emensially during this time planning my husband service. Was not rush at anything and fulfilled all my wishes and concerns. The viewings ran well as well as the entombment at Highland Memorial Park. Also Howie at Highland was very helpful during this horrible time in my life. Can't thank you all from the bottom of my heart. God bless all of you.
