They and their staff provided a comforting, personalized wake at the West Seneca location. My husband, who was a Viet Nam vet and later went on to work at and retire from VA in Buffalo, had what I'm sure he would have loved. The veteran and national honor provided was wonderful. I mentioned(and others agreed) that this was the perfect place for him to be remembered. The staff took care of everything down to the smallest detail to make this difficult time manageable and as stress free as was possible under the circumstances. They made sure every detail was done to our satisfaction and answered any questions we may have had. They offered advice and suggestions when requested, and we were unsure as to what to do but never pushed anything on us . Planning the final remembrance for a loved one is never easy but Lakeside showed compassion and professionalism throughout the entire time. I would not hesitate to recommend Lakeside in West Seneca to anyone who wants their final wishes for loved ones done perfectly. They could not have done anything better.

For such a personal experience it felt intrusive having the facility pick up truck lined up with our vehicles. Also there is no place to sit, I think this experience solidified that I want my headstone to be a bench if I have one.

The grounds are nearly always immaculate at the cemeteries (2020 was a rough year due to COVID-19-related staffing issues) and the employees I've dealt with have been polite and conscientious. For instance, in late August, I encountered a problem with a yellow jacket nest next to a relative's grave. Matt and his crew took care of the problem within 24 hours.

I highly recommend the John E Roberts Funeral Home for their meticulous organization that is personal and not perfunctory. Everyone on staff was genuinely warm and understanding. From coordinating church service, military honors with flag presentation and a bronze plaque at his gravesite for Veterans to the flowers on my father's casket (gorgeous white lilies and ranunculus) it was beautiful and understated. Our family didn't feel rushed or pressured at the wake or the service and burial. The personal service set it apart from other funeral homes: I'd been to two services for my grandmother and stepfather 10 and 15 years ago and they were cold and impersonal compared to John E Roberts Funeral Home.

We have several family members buried at Elm Lawn including my infant son. The staff, including…read moreAndrea, have been exceptional. Since we live out of state the staff includes us in the mailings for the floral arrangements at various times of the year. They make sure every little detail is taken care of in our absence. That includes placing the arrangements at all the graves and then taking pictures of them and sending them to us! Not many cemeteries would do that. They have always been professional,trustworthy, and caring. We can't praise the Elm Lawn staff and maintenance crew enough. For us and our family they have gone above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Thank you Elm Lawn for everything you have done and continue to do in honoring our loved ones in your care. We greatly appreciate it. Christine Rice

The staff have been wonderfully kind and understanding. They walked us through the process from beginning to end answering every question. They helped take care of the obituary and other necessary paperwork. They never pressured us into anything more than what our beloved wanted and even went above and beyond to get the color casket we wanted. They even allowed arrangements for a family member to see her early. They set up a minister to come do a short service after the viewing. The home is warm and 'cozy' and not stuffy like some places I have been. They took extra precautions with Covid related issues so that we could have the maximum people and still be within the rules. Their prices seemed very fair and they go through everything so you never feel taken advantage of with something unexpected. In this time of sorrow it was nice to feel like someone genuinely cared and had the means to actually help in this helpless situation.
