Although it had been nearly 18 years since our family needed the services of a funeral home, there…read morewas no question as to who it would be. It needed to be Hollis! That is where all of our loved ones services have been held. From the very first phone call to Charlie, we immediately knew we were where we needed to be. The home itself is amazing. Its grandeur and character welcomed us with a sense of peace and familiarity, with memories flooding back of the traditional services our parents and grandparents had there. However, there was one thing about Hollis that we didn't realize had changed. Charlie teamed up with his daughter, Eileen - and they couldn't make a better team! Charlie had already earned our business with his charming personality, years of experience, and the comfort of traditions. Eileen brought an even further sense of compassion and comfort to the experience. She is lightheaded, innovative and reassuringly professional. We highly recommend Hollis Funeral Home ! Whether you are looking for a service that is less formal and more personal, or you prefer the traditional, Charlie and Eileen will make it happen. You'll leave feeling like you have been taken care of by dear friends.

It told of how the Fergerson family has kept track of its ancestors. Normally not an easy task, the Fergerson story is unique because the family has lived on the same North Syracuse land for six generations. As one of the pioneering families of the area and having a rich history, the Fergersons hold a deep appreciation for the community. The family actively participates in charting North Syracuse's future growth and development. Alfred E. Fergerson was named North Syracuse's "1992 Man of the Year" for his community involvement and in 1993 was placed on the CNS High School's Wall of Distinction as a role model for youth. In October 1993, the Fergersons were named "New York State Family of the Year" by the Knights of Columbus for their service contributions. It was at Alfred C. Fergerson's home on South Main Street where the family funeral business began. However, it was his so

Overall my grandfathers services were very nice. The casket was beautiful, he looked great in his…read moresuit, and the facilities were very nice the days of the viewing and funeral. However, there were things here and there that really didn't go well the during the process. During the services, the clergy they provided called my grandfather by the wrong name, and she spent minutes throughout the ceremony shuffling through her binder randomly picking out readings that didn't really flow at all. We truly felt they called her about two hours before the services and she had no time to prepare. We were also pretty rushed during the carrying of the casket to the burial site from the hearse. We weren't given clear directions on how to carry or how to lineup, and even though we had eight pallbearers picked out the gentleman from the funeral home decided to help carry the casket from the back. They were very nice and helpful to my grandmother which was important to us but I hope they make sure they know the name of man in the casket the next time they start the services.
