This is a little hard for me as it is being written only a week since my mother's funeral. but let…read moreme lay it out as best I can. They are very efficient. they have the details at their finger prints and know what they are doing. When this hits a family the last thing ANYONE is thinking of is what type of wood to make the casket out of or what particular flowers you want. I mean yes you want that stuff BUT you don't think clearly, that is what they do. They help you sort out the muddle and help make it all happen. The down side was availability. yes they made it happen and they were out of sight pretty much at the service and just a little too out of sight. when I had questions it was a hunt to find someoen and rather more to the point there was soemthing i wanted to drop off after the planning meeting but before the funeral and making daily stops at the office no one was there. I was told there was a phone number to call but I was at the back door and saw nothing-that's where the parking lot is, and the idea of no one there gave the place, in the words of Dashiel Hamnett "A sort of vacant feeling" but other than this they were very good and hopefully it will be a LOONG time before we need their services but I'd have no problem going back

We have turned to them for generations--first for my grandparents, then my father, and now my mother--and each time, they have offered unwavering care and professionalism.

When my mother passed, I suddenly found myself in the unexpected and unfamiliar position of having…read moreto arrange for funeral services, among other things. It was a bit overwhelming. To make maters more complicated, I did not live near my mother. I contacted another service first. They were very nice, but were unfamiliar with the area and the hospital that my mother was at. They needed me to contact the morgue at the hospital and make arrangements for them to transfer her. At the time, I was not at my best. The last thing I needed was complicated administrative tasks. I did a search for a local funeral home with good reviews. This led me to Dunn-Givnish Funeral Home. They answered their phone immediately, they were very pleasant and professional. They took care of everything after that one simple phone call. That was what I needed. My experience with Jason and Susan was absolutely outstanding. They made the funerary arrangements a very positive experience for me and my wife. I have to say, it has been the easiest part of everything I have had to do since my mother passed. They took the time to understand my needs and wishes. They were helpful and provided realistic and useful options, never pressuring or trying to upsell. They also served as a mentor, helping to guide me through the unfamiliar paper and legal issues that I would be addressing as I closed out my mothers affairs. A first class organization with outstanding people and customer service. I would enthusiastically recommend them.

My experience with Holy Sepulchre was a nightmare from February until early May. I needed to…read moreconfirm whether there was room for my brother in a cremation only plot where my parents are buried. Before he died, it was his wish to be with our parents and he seemed sure that there was room for him. Just in case, I contacted the cemetery because I did not want any conflict to arise when the "at-need" time came. I became frustrated as the month of March arrived. I began to receive marketing emails from the company that operates and manages the cemetery on behalf of the salesperson. That prompted me to email the sales person to inquire about whether he found an answer to my question posed in February. Sadly, on May 1, that answer came after we had the funeral. In February, the salesperson indicated that he was sure there were "room for 4 souls" in the grave with my parents and he moved to quickly try to sell me on prepaying the grave opening fee and purchase other potential services. The same salesperson called me when we scheduled the service to introduce himself as the person who would be handling my brother's services. This became an unnecessary dispute that caused a lot of stress. While the cemetery "made an exception" to allow my brother to be buried with my parents, there still is something not right here. Another concern about my interactions with their area VP has arisen. He noted that there is no room on my parents' stone to add my brother's name. While that is true, it was also claimed there was no room for my brother to be buried but there was plenty of space for my brother's urn to be buried and there looks to be plenty of room for another stone to be placed. I gave the cemetery 2 stars--originally up from the 1 star I would give because I had a very positive experience with the cemetery's frontline staff when I visited the cemetery on May 6. Taras provided me excellent directions on how to navigate the large grounds so I could visit my great-grandparents' gravesite. His directions were excellent. He provided a map where he even drew a line with the best route to follow through the cemetery. Despite the overly aggressive sales tactics, I ended up having a great experience on the front-lines with Taras.
