    Our family (going back to our grandparents) has been a loyal/regular user of Myers (and later…read moreBuhrig) Funeral Home since the early 1950s. However, because of a practice by Buhrig, specifically by Bob Buhrig and Kirk Freed, specifically where they INSIST that veteran's Death Certificates are $20.00 when, in fact, they are to be FREE, regardless of whether one obtains from from Vital Statistics or via a Registrar (which is an arm of Vital Statistics), that stance CROSSED THE LINE. Granted, to some this may be a small issue...but...it is a BLACK AND WHITE issue...and if Buhrig is going to overcharge in THIS area, it destroys ANY AND ALL sense of ETHICS in its other financial areas. If you do a search on other funeral homes and read where they address veteran death certificates, you'll find that they ALL state they are free of charge. But, Buhrig, even after being called-out on this specific matter, STILL insists they are $20.00 each, and will even suggest that you buy ten (10) certificates for potential executor tasks (i.e. pensions, bank accounts, insurance policies, et cetera). I can't help but believe that Buhrig is "pocketing" these $20.00 charges (for EACH certificate) for veterans (and SPOUSES of such veterans). They are also overly greedy in certain other areas of their services. For example, they charge $140 for a mere register book (where visitors to the viewing/funeral sign their names). You can buy a comparable or better register book online for a mere $20-$25. They also suggest an honorarium of $200-$400 for the pastor whereas other funeral homes suggest a going rate is around $175. What does Buhrig care; it's not THEIR money; they simply prey on the grieving and vulnerable family. For the first time in over 70 years, our family has decided that we will no longer do business with Buhrig based on THIS incident...and...based on other "concerning" observations when it comes to their transparencies. No way. I have even consulted with the State Investigator to look into their veteran death certificate practices, and am happy to see that in our initial telephone conversation, they are taking a HARD look into Buhrig. We shall see what the outcome is, but [again] in our initial conversations, I do feel that Buhrig will become "enlightened" that they can't pull this on everybody. They had taken the wrong stance with the wrong customer!!! And...if you opt to set up an Irrevocable Burial Reserve Account (IBRA) as part of your pre-planning tasks, do NOT be misled that you MUST submit these through Buhrig Funeral Home. You can set these up in a variety of financial institutions -- not ONLY funeral homes.

    When my son passed away unexpectedly , we had no idea how any of this worked. Everyone at Buhrig…read morewas extremely kind and helpful. They told us they'd do whatever we wanted, and they absolutely tailored to our wishes. They took care of everything for us and even provided a speaker ( Patti Vogl) to us who was absolutely wonderful, she spoke beautifully at the service. I highly recommend Buhrig, they're very kind and compassionate people.

    Our family's monument was delivered to Hanover, PA this afternoon and it has exceeded our…read moreexpectations! Rob Merena is the best of the best. He devoted so much time to getting us exactly what we wanted. His communication was prompt and I never had to wait long for a response as it was always immediate. I would highly recommend Rob and Gingrich Memorials to anyone seeking quality and excellence.

My aunt was the most special person in my life and I really wanted to make sure she was memorialized in a way as special as she was. Many years prior I had reconnected with a high school friend, and in his recap of all his family members he told me that his younger brother Ron Colvin, worked with company who did memorials for people. My friend said Ron was gifted at dealing with people who are grieving and puts his all into soothing them while getting their wishes translated to a memorial. My friend was so right about Ron's skills and sensitivity to his clients. I wanted to have a marker that included a Hershey Kiss because my aunt loved chocolate her whole life of 97 years, took her nieces and nephews to Hershey park so many times, and at the end of her life lived on Hershey's chocolate. I can't take credit for the idea, it was one of her nurses that suggested it and all her assisted living friends loved the idea. Did Rob blink at the craziness of the idea? Absolutely not, he embraced it, and assured me we could do it tastefully! He sent me drawings that I approved, did all the paperwork, arranged everything with the cemetery and I now have a memorial to my Aunt which I think is PERFECT. Ron is the quintessential professional with an enormous heart. He is the perfect balance between knowledgeable, capable, efficient, and effective; and kind, caring, sensitive and warm-hearted. I can't recommend him highly enough. One final note, when I called to thank him and tell him how pleased I was, he said, "I knew how important it was to get it right". Susan Hager

    Myers Funeral Home in Camp Hill, Pa was originally established by my Grandfather (Charles L. Myers)…read morein 1947. His father (S. Harper Myers) established the former, Myers Funeral Home on Main Street in Mechanicsburg, PA. Myers funeral Home (currently known as Myers Baker) in Camp Hill, PA, was later acquired by Ronald Hall, my Uncle. It was later acquired by Harner, I believe in the 1990s. Charles Myers was very detail oriented and a stickler for the appear of the funeral home. I worked at the funeral home as a young boy cutting grass, washing cars and learned quickly my grandfather's great expectations to properly maintain the appearance of the funeral.

My mother passed away this spring and we again used Myers (this time Harner was the owner) so first they have NOT been serving the community since 1947. I'm not sure when they took over, but he has not served since 1947. Their service was sub-par! They printed the cards incorrectly, way too late to change before the service. They removed the wrong flowers, took credit for something the cemetery provided, and then argued with us about it! Absolutely no compassion, no attention to detail. Their solution was to reprint the cards, which they did after the service was done, too late to get to the folks that attended. They even disregarded our billing instructions!
