We have used Fisher Edgington for both of my grandparent's funeral services. Brian was organized and helped us plan a memorable service in my grandparent's honor. Brian had excellent communication, was quick to respond and helped us plan every last detail. I highly recommend and thank all of the staff for the wonderful service during a very difficult time. read more

Two years ago, we lost a young family member in a sudden and tragic death. Our family was (and is) devastated. As a family member who attended the wake and graveside service, I was not impressed with Fisher-Edgington's logistics or professionalism. The building is not suited for a funeral service if you expect more than 20-30 people to attend. And the staff who were directing logistics really didn't take details into account or seem to have a plan on how to deal with certain situations that they must encounter regularly. Like many older funeral homes, the large house has several rooms, but none that can accommodate a large group of people. Far more people came than what our family had anticipated, and on the day of the service, about 30 of us were crammed into the room with the casket. Most of the attendees had to sit in other rooms, and Fisher-Edgington has no audio or visual equipment to speak of. No screens to accommodate overflow and one of the worst audio "systems" I've ever heard. It wasn't working properly, and there were times during the service when suddenly it would cut out, or squeak, or make other noises. Even those of us in the room with the casket could not hear. Those near the back of the room missed much of what was being said, and those in other rooms neither saw nor heard anything at all. The other major problem with Fisher is the parking logistics. There isn't much on Locust St--only street parking. We had a close relative who had to be transported in a wheelchair, and handicapped parking is non-existent. The day of the funeral service, I had to use flashers and block traffic on Locust St in order to assist the person in the wheelchair and keep them from getting soaked by rain. (Plus the sidewalks in the area are not in great shape for wheelchairs and you wouldn't want to be pushing them up the slope for long.) When it came time to go to the cemetery, there didn't seem to be any oversight or instruction from the staff and no one really directing traffic. Once the hearse and the limo for the immediate family left, you were on your own. Other close family members--such as grandparents of the deceased--whom the staff should have identified, assisted, and directed in the line-up--wound up in the middle of a very long caravan. That oversight led to more problems at the cemetery. The cemetery is small, rural, and hilly, and the staff seemed totally unfamiliar with it. There is one winding short road through the cemetery. It had been raining for days prior to the service. The burial was at the top of the hill, but even there the Ohio clay was quite soft. Because our car wound up in the middle of the procession, we were not near the gravesite. Our close family member who was wheelchair bound had to be left in the car--a fact I regret to this day--because we simply couldn't pull him up the small ravine we had to walk. It would have been difficult to get him to the grave in any event bec the ground was so soft, but if we had been near the head of the procession, at least he could have watched the service from the car. There were 40+ cars in the procession, and that basically filled the small U-shaped road in the cemetery. After the service, when 80% or so of the people were back in their cars, the first few cars pulled out but one car near the head of the procession remained on the road. There was a grassy area w/o graves where that car should have been directed to move so others could pass. Not suggesting that anyone should be hurried away from a graveside, or that Fischer is responsible for the set up of the cemetery. But they didn't seem to pay any attention to directing the procession here, either. A proactive funeral home team should familiarize themselves w/ local cemeteries and be in contact w/ local officials to ensure that things go smoothly. As it was, because the one car was not relocated, ¾ of the cars had to back out the other side of the cemetery. This was difficult because the entrance/exit of the U-shaped drive comes out in the middle of a hill, and backing out is tricky, esp bec it is a blind area; you cannot see traffic coming over the hill and they cannot see you backing out. Again, no funeral staff, no cones, no flags, no one directing/stopping traffic at the top or bottom of the hill. Either Fischer should have done this or they should have arranged for local authorities to do that. But they didn't bother. The staff never made any announcements, didn't really direct the attendees, never really seemed to make any inquiries or ask what the family wanted or needed, and did not seem to make any preparations or use foresight regarding the basic logistics. It was not a fitting memorial for our loved one. read more
