Heckart Funeral Home in Sedalia, MO, opened a new facility, the Heckart Family Center, in January 2011. The Heckart Family Center is home to Harmony Crematory and People and Animal Lover's Service.
The Heckart Family Center is a community reception center where families can host a funeral dinner, and is also available for visitations, memorial services, community meetings, seminars, birthday and anniversary parties, pet memorial services, etc.

Harmony Crematory is Sedalia's only human crematory. The crematory is equipped with a state-of-the-art retort which completes most cremations within three hours. On-site refrigeration is also offered.

People and Animal Lover's Service (PALS), is also Sedalia's only pet crematory and memorialization service. PALS serves individual families and veterinary offices, providing return of the cremated remains within 24 hours in most cases.

Sue Heckart, a 63-year veteran of the funeral business, is the owner of these new ventures as well as Heckart Funeral Home, formerly Gillespie Funeral Home, which has been serving the Sedalia area since 1918.
