    If I could give less than 1 star I would. This place got EVERYTHING wrong. My brother passed away…read moreon June 13, 2025. This funeral home was selected by his adult son. I do not know the details of the contract between them. My understanding was that my brother was to be cremated and there would be a procession driving from the funeral home to the cemetery where a U.S. Marine Corps Honor Guard was to be there to honor his remains, provide a 21 gun salute and Taps. The person driving the hearse with my brother exited the highway procession because he RAN OUT OF GAS!!!???? Half the people in the procession followed the hearse and the rest continued to the cemetery. RAN OUT OF GAS??? Really??? So, when we get to the cemetery, the administrator for the cemetery tells us the Marines are not there for the Honor Guard. WTF??? My brother retired from the Marines and requested a USMC funeral and deserved to have one. Come to find out, AE Grier never contacted the Marines to be present. The cemetery administrator there asked if I would accept an ARMY honor guard because they happened to be there for another funeral. I declined as ANY MARINE would. I too am a Marine Corps Veteran, and so is my other brother who was at the funeral. ANY Marine would have refused an ARMY send off. After we left the cemetery, we went back to the funeral home. I was very upset because like many other people at the cemetery, I was expecting my brother to have his USMC funeral because he EARNED that after 23 years in the Marines. A lot of us came from not just out of town, but from out of state for this. I CAN NEVER GET THAT MOMENT BACK THANKS TO AE GRIER AND THE INCOMPETENT HANDLING OF THIS MILITARY FUNERAL. I don't know if they refunded my nephews for the services they did NOT provide, but for me it's not about the money, it's about the memory of my brother's funeral as a big SCREW UP by AE Grier. The woman at the funeral home told me and I quote " We dropped the ball on this one." WOW!!!! Was that supposed to make me feel better???? Long story, but the point is, maybe look at other funeral homes. How would you feel with "We dropped the ball" on services for YOUR loved one? The Marines provided an Honor Guard service 2 weeks later for his sons and their mother, but No one there initially will have that memory.

No Support from the funeral staff, what we ended up with was a do-it-yourself celebration of life service at their chapel I paid for a service, and I thought we were going to be under the care of a Director, which turned out to be a chaotic day for the family. We were not engaged in a timely or orderly manner to enter the chapel in an orderly manner. The place was not only disorganized in terms of communicating with family. We were pretty much left to handle things on our own. Our family had hired an assistant, thank god we did !! Who ended up serving as the IT person IT person and helped in many other areas due to the lack of support from this funeral home for the service because they lacked the ability to accommodate the family with a competent person to handle their antiquated system, We were passed around to different staff members from the beginning. The last gentleman put on a suit for the viewing, but then presented himself in the parking lot to inform us that we were being passed on to someone else and stated he had other work to do. We were stunned, and we were then at that time informed that we would have to transport the flowers to our home ourselves. He basically said "there are a lot of flowers in there, and we only provide a vehicle for that when we are going to the cemetery". They need to understand that times are changing and they need to keep up with the times. With that issue, we were out in the parking lot, scrambling to find people to haul flowers. Between a family and a few strangers, we got the flowers hauled. It was chaotic and embarrassing for us. And we had family members who had traveled from out of town to miss part of the repass. At the end of the service, the funeral home representative misrepresented the presentation of a blanket that was created by our graphic artist as a gift to the family, stating it was from the funeral home. If you are in need consider another funeral home

Fortunately, I happened to connect with Sam, from Pet Passages, after working with Dr. LaVergne (from Home With You) in the process. Sam coordinated directly with Dr LaVergne on the appropriate timing to show up to my house, shortly after Bruno had been euthanized, and Sam entered the scene as an extremely compassionate and professional person. He downplayed the 'transactional' nature of the job and focused primarily on putting my mind at ease and treating Bruno's body with dignity. When he came to the house, he had a purple blanket with him, and explained to me that purple was the color of royalty, and that's how Bruno would be treated by the folks at Pet Passages. We wrapped Bruno in the purple blanket and he allowed me to help carry him out to the transport van. A minor detail, but the van itself was clean, professionally marked, and climate controlled--just the small things that put me at ease during all of this. Within 48 hours Sam brought Bruno home to me, in a custom wooden urn/box (see the photos)--he hand-delivered the box, and again was extremely professional and compassionate. All in all, working with Sam during such a tough time was a blessing and I'll forever be appreciative for his exceptional handling and care of Bruno.

    Heartfelt Gratitude for Harrisburg Funeral & Cremation…read more My sister, Debra, and I want to express our deepest gratitude to Harrisburg Funeral & Cremation for the compassionate care they provided for both of our parents. They took care of our father's cremation and final wishes in January 2022, and most recently, our mother's in October 2025. From the very beginning, they were extremely kind, understanding, and attentive to every detail with such care and love. Both Keshia and Tish were incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. They gave us time and space to grieve before taking our parents into their care, and the gentlemen who came to our home handled everything with dignity, sensitivity, and respect. Their shirts read, Heavenly Transport. What stood out most was that they guided us gently through each step with empathy, thoughtfulness, and honesty. We are especially grateful for the beautiful fingerprints they provided of our mother -- a keepsake we will cherish forever. Her box with the ashes turned out so beautiful too. See photo I uploaded. We are truly thankful for everything Harrisburg Funeral & Cremation has done for our family. Their compassion and professionalism made one of life's hardest moments a little easier to bear. -- Pamela & Debra

    Not impressed…read more.. Recommend: No. My mother in law's passing (dec 2022) decreed to use this facility, but all said and done, there are a number of unprofessional actions I was not appreciative of. Most specifically, both the Register of Deeds office in addition to Hartsell Funeral home, (whom was paid for this service), failed, collectively, to both inspect the death certificates ordered and HFH, failed to provide a correction. Again, HFH was PAID to accomplish this task but took zero responsibility ensuring the certificates were professionally legible. At a loss of the processes' resolution, they would not pacify correcting the misprinted death certificates and instead we had to visit the Albemarle Registry of Deeds to get corrected documents. Not impressed with this action. To: Harstell Funeral Home Director: I highly encourage you to consider the above commentary and improve on your services. My family members in this area have already sought out alternative funeral service locations due to this and other less than admirable demeanors.
