“We’re honored to be recognized by the CSSW Awards, but our greatest validation comes from our users themselves,” said Erin Greiner, Legacy’s senior manager of Support & Solutions.

One customer recently thanked the support team “for letting my faith in mankind continue to exist.” Others have sent homemade cookies and flowers in appreciation. “Our customers are the best, and customer service is the very heart of what we do at Legacy.com,” Greiner shared. “Our team understands the importance of helping people honor and mourn their loved ones. We work to make sure all things are as seamless as possible, not just for the family and loved ones of the deceased, but for our clients and partners as well.”
