So many guest told us the music and vocals in the Church, the music at the cemetery were amazing. At the end of the 2019 we were invited back for a celebration of life for all of the people they served in 2019. I have never been invited back to a funeral home for anything. The service they put on was truly thought out in every detail to let there clients know how much they care. And believe me it was well needed and much appreciated by my family.

Nobody likes to deal with funerals, and I'm no exception, but if you have not had to "do" one for a…read morefamily member, I hope you'll find this helpful, as I have had to do a few in our family. This is probably not the cheapest funeral home in town, but I was ok with that because I wanted to go here for two reasons: I knew from earlier funerals in our family that the people here are compassionate without being oozing, and our family had used them before so it felt kind of traditional to let our family be laid to rest by the company the deceased probably expected to do the job. This funeral home was recently bought by Trexler Funeral Home. If they had to be bought by anyone, I am glad it was not a chain. My experiences with Burkholder took place before this acquisition. I have been to Trexler funerals (which seemed just fine) but I have not planned with them, so I cannot say anything much about them or how their practices may affect Burkholder... I can only say that I hope Burkholder does not change. In particular, we were very pleased to work with Matthew, who was properly understated but not grim or cold, and not hard sell either. He was very good about presenting options and allowing us to choose what suited our family. He and the firm went the extra mile on a few things, things too personal and identifying to go into here, but just know if they can accommodate your wishes, they will. Matthew has a gentle humor and good knowledge all around. They were very good about advising how to handle certain sticky questions about cremation, post-funeral luncheons, and etiquette questions too. We did learn a lot through both funerals. You are not required to use their florist or a cremation urn they provide by sale. They will help you with the obituary and can advise on costs for that depending on your newspaper. They do not provide funeral programs though they are equipped to create funeral cards at a nominal fee. If there is a veteran or Social Security benefit the deceased qualified for, they can help you file for it. Our most recent cremation service, for reference, was about $7000, plus our pastor's fee. Our family did one graveside funeral with them, and one at the church. In both cases, their personnel were there on time and appropriately welcoming to everyone. Everything went off perfectly. I hope the next time we have to plan a funeral is a long way away, but when the next one in Allentown comes, it is almost guaranteed we will count on Burkholder's once more.

Jonathan Quier at Ludwick Funeral Homes was unbelievably compassionate during an extremely…read moredifficult time for our family. Our young son passed away and then just one month later my father-in-law passed. Jonathan and his staff provided a beautiful funeral service for my father-in-law and took care of so many little details that we did not even think of. For example, after the services were over, we received the keepsake that contained the guest book and also every card that came with each set of flowers that were sent along with a photo of each arrangement so we could always remember how beautiful everything was. We decided to bury our boy and Pop together in one ceremony. Jonathan took care of everything for us, including communicating with the cemetery and the sending us drafts of how the stone would look. Because of COVID-19, the burial service was limited but Ludwick arranged for livestream and permanent link. The livestream began with a beautiful video montage of photos of our son and Pop with all of us. It played to our son's favorite Beatles songs. It was so very moving. Along with that link is options to purchase a keepsake book, flash drive of the entire video and much more. During such a tragic time, Jonathan and his staff have such compassion. They understand the importance of details that the bereaved family couldn't possibly know to ask for and they are so professional that even in the midst of COVID they were able to keep everything running so smoothly that we did not feel any stress about the day.

My mother wanted to be cremated and we weren't sure that we could do a viewing and cremation but we rented the casket for the viewing and it was a beautiful service. We probably had 100+ people come through that day & 50+ stayed for the short service. People stood outside with the doors open, sat on the stairs & helped make the worst day of my life as bright and comfortable as possible. The whole process was made easier because of the staff. Paperwork was taken care of. We picked out beautiful pieces for my mom's ashes. Thank you for taking care of us. I would recommend Schisler to anyone, specifically Bartholomew-Schisler in Nazareth.
