The hall where the service took place was beautiful, besides sympathies, the most common thing I heard was about how great the place looked. They had a couple comfort animals running around and a staff member was always unobtrusively available. They made a wonderful slideshow out of the pictures we gave them. Digitized everything. The most touching part was a display they made, we had discussed interests, hobbies and such. They made a whole display out of the things we talked about with some pictures added on.

For a funeral home in which you would like to be taken care of at a very sad time, it is the worst experience I have ever had. They do not care about the fact you are saying goodbye to a loved one. I ordered a beautiful spray of flowers to be delivered, and when the flowers arrived, the funeral home sent the flowers back because they are not what they wanted. Even though it was the family's wishes for an full open casket, hours before the showing, they closed half of the casket and told us they would never leave it open (even though that is what we were told and planned). When confronting the problem, the owners were very disrespectful. Therefore I beg you to please avoid this place. Go someplace else and say your goodbyes and prayers at a funeral home that will take care of your wishes. This place ruined saying goodbye to a very special family member.

Recently had my husband's funeral arranged through Lakeside in West Seneca. I worked with Charles…read moreand Joshua. They were amazing. 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.

I wish death would never happened, but Hamburg is blessed to have this funeral home to assist in your darkest hours.

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.

A strange thing to review I'm sure, but my experience with this funeral home was about as good as…read moreyou could expect for a difficult situation. The workers were accommodating for anyone to speak up, come early for private viewing and plenty of water and tissues readily available for public use. The viewing room we were in was rather small but perfect for the small family crowd we had. I appreciated having a somewhat private room across the hall for those moments where you need a minute to be alone. The parking lot was small and became a bit of an issue during peak times. Also, because it's on the corner of several main roads, it's easy to pass if you aren't familiar with the area or to get lost in the tops plaza behind it.

He was kind, compassionate, and caring every step of the way. Fast forward to 2022, when my mother passed away, and then later that same year, my father.

Mitch handled both my mother's and father's arrangements with the same grace, professionalism, and compassion our family had experienced for years. Four years later, when my aunt passed away, we once again turned to Amherst Memorial Chapel. Once again, Mitch guided our family through a difficult time with kindness, dignity, and genuine compassion.
