Haven , Comfort Dog 

We would love for you to meet Haven. She has been a  part of Hillcrest Funeral Home since she was a puppy. She spends her days walking around the funeral home, laying in the sun, getting the occasional belly rub and in return giving the occasional kiss. 

She is an important member of our team but an even more important member of our family.
