John Slater Funeral home laid out my husband. From the first meet Slater's handled my planning,…read morefuneral, and viewing with compassion and perfection. All my needs were met with absolute caring. I cannot say one thing wrong or not perfect through my whole experience there. I have been to many many funeral homes, and not one of them can compete with Slater's. You will never hear one bad review of Slater's.

The Funeral Director Jeff S was disrespectful and unprofessional throughout. Many issues with him…read moreand his bloated ego. He was NOT in the least consoling or comforting at a time that is so deeply hurtful. He only added to my stress. A meeting with him to address these issue was met with distant and some inane explanations for his actions. At no time did he offer any semblance of an apology. Subsequent meeting with the owner was very much respectful and empathetic to my dismay and anger at Jeff's demeanor. There is a problem with communication policy/practice at Slater's. Events must be conveyed to bereaved individuals in a thorough and specific manner. This led to much confusion and stress for me. My husband had a grey/black mustache which became a black smudge for his viewing. I could understand if there was an accident but just be honest. Slater's as whole was good BUT the Funeral Director needs to find another career choice. Simply believe he has been doing this for 30 plus years and lacks empathy and common courtesy when interaction with his customers. Truly truly a sad state.

Something is fishy about the flower situation, he donates them to charity. Shouldn't the family decide what gets donated! Some flowers were never even put out! Lots of shaky things with my experience many lies! He is very nice and the facility is nice but doesn't know a thing about his job or the paper work and legalities. Find another place to go, find someone who knows what they are doing. Especially at a sad time, you need direction and guidance, you will not find it here. Also, his voice mail is always full and you cant get thru the funeral home! Death certificates can be picked up in Pgh., the next day. You dont have to wait 3 weeks! The list goes on!!!!!

We cannot say enough nice things about Alfieri. Nick went above and beyond for my mom & her family…read morein my Grammy's passing. I want to highlight how genuinely remorseful he was for our loss, and how kind he was. Matt was also so kind, helping me hook up my slideshow for my Gram, and assisting us. Every detail was really thoughtful, including a special charm Nick gave my mother and I at the end that is cut in half, one piece to stay with my grandmother & one with us. They checked in on us at the perfect times, asking if we needed coffee or water. They greeted all of our family and gave their condolences. Perhaps the most touching aspect was how Nick helped us get my Grammy home. There was an issue back home in CA with her death certificate (nothing to do with Alfieri, it was her doctors), and she almost did not make it back to PA, her final resting place. Thank you Nick and Matt, truly. You gave my Mom, her brother, and our whole family peace and closure with your services.

The funeral was as usual but the rented room that was across the street was a disaster in many…read more This room was on the second floor which is not a good idea as the funeral attendees are mostly 70+. Yes there is a stair lift but thinks about getting, perhaps, 25+ people up the stairs on this lift which is slow and after going up must come back down to get another person - HOURS. Next there is only one bathroom for 25+ people. The caterer that the funeral home recommended did a "drop and run" (Elegant Tents and Catering). Their All-Inclusive package did not include anything to drink. So what is All-Inclusive???? The family of the deceased is usually not able to remember "everything" and All-Inclusive should mean everything!!!! that an event would/should need. Also there was no employee of Elegant Tents in this room on arrival which meant some attendees were left to open all the food items. What if there was a problem??? Who to call??? We were later told by the funeral home that an employee would have been an additional charge. (Remember All-Inclusive). And when we were cleaning up what did we find but a hot box that contained two additional trays of Chicken Parmesan. Who was supposed to know this??? My opinion as well as others that attended this funeral was that Elegant Tents Catering really falls short In doing what they are paid to do. Kapr Funeral really does not think about funeral attendees but just want to rent this most undesirable room to unsuspecting people and prey on the grieving. Buyer Beware.

A friend of some 50 years passed away in an adjacent county to his home of record. County rules and procedures in Pennsylvania differ at the county level. This friend was the last of his bloodline. He was predeceased by an older brother and by both parents. His wife had passed away the previous year and they had no children between them, having been married later in life. There was no blood relative to assist with his post-mortem wishes. Ashley showed an extraordinary level of both knowledge and compassion as she helped his two best friends -- myself and another -- work through the labyrinthine requirements to have an unclaimed body claimed by friends to carry out the deceased wishes after his death. She set up everything. She worked with the adjacent county coroner, provided guidance as to the best way to proceed, and all the while, she was caring - perhaps the word "lovingkindness" would be more accurate. That she would work so hard for someone who died with many friends, but no family, leads me to believe she would be among the very best in helping a family which had lost a loved one. The only unfortunate part of this review is that I am limited to only five stars, if ten were available, that number would be insufficient. In the minds of all of the deceased friends, Ms.Ashley Nye is one in a million! Bless her.
