- ABAngela BucherDec 10, 20255.0What a truly incredible experience we had at a very difficult time in my life. We were late to our appointment. They were full of grace and compassion. Nate was actually an angel in human form in the way he approached us and handles the day with compassion and even a little laughter along the way. I felt an ease knowing that he was the one who was going to be caring for my father. I’m so glad we picked this funeral home after finding out the one my dad chose had closed. What a gift these humans are to people in deep grief.
- LLLyonellDec 6, 20255.0Words cannot express how amazing Hennessey Valley Funeral Home is. They've handled both of my parents funerals and each and every time, they have gone above and beyond for me and my family. Mr. Trent Nielsen has always handled my arrangements with compassion and was always patient with me with everything I was struggling to handle. Each and every one of their staff members have made me and my family feel like we were the only ones they were catering to, and that is something I've never found anywhere else. Ever. I am truly grateful for everything they've done to make sure my parents funerals were beautiful and unforgettable. Thank you Mr. Trent and staff, I will always come back to you for all of my family's needs when the time comes.

- SKShirley KeithNov 16, 20255.0Hennessy's was very compassionate and easy to work with. Nate took care of every detail, gave us multiple options and followed through with every request.
- DCDarren CarpenterNov 15, 20255.0I want to start off by thanking Hennessey. Their entire team is phenomenal and super respectful. I had the pleasure of working with Allie she was kind and so supportive. I unfortunately lost two family members this year and I went to Hennessey to get them cremated. The support and love they showed me was so comforting, especially during this hard time I was having. I am very thankful for having Hennessey there to help me. They really do care. Allie you're an incredible human and I appreciate everything you did for me and my family.

Arrange for members of family or close friends to take turns answering door or phone, keeping careful record of calls. If Social Security checks are automatic deposit, notify the bank of the death.
When I call, will someone come right away?
If you request immediate assistance, yes. If the family wishes to spend a short time with the deceased to say good-bye, that’s perfectly acceptable. Your funeral director will come when your time is right.
Should I choose Burial or Cremation?
Burial in a casket is the most common method of disposing of remains in the United States, although entombment also occurs. Cremation is increasingly selected because it can be less expensive and allows for the memorial service to be held at a more convenient time in the future when relatives and friends can come together.
A funeral service followed by cremation need not be any different from a funeral service followed by a burial. Usually, cremated remains are placed in urn before being committed to a final resting place. The urn may be buried, placed in an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium, or interred in a special urn garden that many cemeteries provide for cremated remains. The remains may also be scattered, according to state law.
What is the purpose of embalming?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body. Embalming makes it possible to lengthen the time between death and the final disposition, allowing family members time to arrange and participate in the type of service most comforting to them.
Does a dead body have to be embalmed, according to law?
The Federal Trade Commission says, "Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial."
