Harris Funeral Home

Remember man as you pass by, for as you are so once was I, but as I am you'll surely be, so prepare…read morefor death and follow me. I said so long to my mother ten months ago and to my brother yesterday, I'm not sure if this quote is written exactly, but it came to mind and continues to circle through my thoughts. My youngest brother died years ago in a car accident, my mother died due to the negligence of the hospital she was staying in from massive stage 4 and above bedsores, but this brother, "Moose" we called him, had been suffering for years from type 1 diabetes. He's had heart attacks, toes removed, just two weeks ago he had two more removed, numerous eye surgeries, but none of this takes away the shock of getting that phone call. During the wee hours on Monday morning my brother went into renal failure, but only told his wife he was tired, yet restless and just needed to lie back down, by 11:30 in the morning he had passed due to a massive heart attack where his heart had imploded. He and my sister in law were childhood sweethearts and they were also each others best friend. She was used to him sleeping most of the day, for every good day that he had, he had three or four bad ones and the good days were getting further apart. He really took my mother's death hard, he was a great son, brother and friend. The Geisel Funeral Home has been used by my sister in laws family for years and she was comforted in how they came right out to the house and actually arrived before my brother's body had been removed from their home. The next morning the funeral director met with her and arranged for his viewing, final cremation and burial. The funeral home is so large with a large memorial chapel, many sitting rooms and lounges and two parking lots, they also have a huge welcoming lounge with tables set up for food and beverages. The only downfall that I had was they are grossly understaffed, during the three hours that I was there, there was no staff member or director there to answer her questions, if someone was there they were well hidden and the office was wide open. I have never seen a town with so many funeral homes, but Geisel is who my sister in law was familiar with and trusted, they were right there for her when she needed them. My brother Moose was 55, a great guy, the funeral home was over flowing with family, friends and coworkers. His heart was as big as he was, rest in peace Moose and no more bad days...

I inherited a few plots from my grandmother who is buried here. It's in the higher section of the…read morecemetery & is always kept nice in that area. I didn't want to burden any funeral decisions to my son so I've been working with Forest Lawn's management to handle these. It was an easy process to transfer the plots over to my name. I chose everything I wanted & they set up an easy, affordable, interest-free monthly payment plans for my decisions. I chose the headstones & marble for my husband & I in the first agreement for a 3-year payment plan. After that was paid for, I set up a second 3-year agreement for the urn burial vault & one site-opening charge. Now that one is paid off I'm going to set up the final agreement for the second urn burial vault & any other details I choose to add on. It makes me very happy & at peace finalizing all my arrangements now, at today's prices so my son won't be left with having to do this when the costs are higher in 20+ years or whenever my time is up. I took one star off only because they need to keep the roads in better condition.

Perhaps there has been a change in management, but the complaints that I have seen in earlier posts seem to have been set straight. A friend of mine recently passed away and is buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Johnstown, and I am grateful for the care the facility has given to my friend's grave and to the rest of the cemetery.

The space was warm and welcoming, and they had a great display set up of photos and mementos of her mum's life. The staff was easily able to accommodate the larger-than-expected crowd that turned up for the service. But what made this such a memorable memorial service was the personalization to our loved one's life. My friend's mum was disabled, and as such, a large portion of her friends and contacts she knew via the internet. The staff at Moskal & Kennedy helped set up a Skype broadcast of the service so that her friends around the world could virtually attend. They were even able to join in and share memories and stories to our group in Johnstown from as far away as Vancouver, the UK, and California. It was unlike any memorial service I've ever attended. Most of all, I know how the staff at Moskal & Kennedy made my friend feel comforted in her time of need. And I'm grateful that they were able to put together such a beautiful send off for a wonderful person.

Richland Cemetery

If you have never been to Johnstown, Pa. it is at the top of the Allegheny mountains with an…read moreelevation of 1273 ft. The surrounding mountain peaks are towns which all lead down into the famous valley that you have all read about. Richland is on one of these mountain tops and the town where I grew up. Well I don't know about growing up, but I spent my childhood there. I am still awed to this day that no matter where you drive in and around town the majestic mountains take your breath away. My Mom is now lying on one of the mountain peaks with these same majestic views. The cemetery is gorgeous and well maintained. My "father" lies in the veterans circle at the top of the hill. When my brother lost his life at the age of thirty two, Mom had bought a double headstone and plot. She now lies next to him and her sister and brother in law are resting not far away. My Mom lost her life due to unnatural causes and nothing had gone right since. When one is mourning and trying to make heads or tails of everything that is suddenly happening, you try to focus on the here and now. I drove by the cemetery on my way into town and noticed a small hole dug two stones over from my mothers plot. There was none dug by her tombstone. I went to her house, called the cemetery and they said they would relay my message to whomever. The day my Mom was to be buried they still planned on using this same hole. We held our little service while a truck stayed close by waiting for us to get done so they could dig the right hole for where my mother was to be buried. This was a rush around deal, my brother drove down to the office and thank heavens someone was there. We stayed around to make sure that a new hole was dug for my mom to be placed at rest, right next to my brother. As for me, I don't care, bury me in my pajamas in the back yard with my long passed on dogs and cats. As for my Mom, she needed to have her final wishes obeyed. Imagine the horror of the folks who owned the plots where my Mom would have been buried! It is still a beautiful cemetery with gorgeous grounds and Mausoleums.

It's understandable that paperwork needed for burials on lots is needed. It can be time consuming for all involved. That being said, my sister had all paperwork done; paid the exorbitant fee to open the grave for a cremation burial three weeks in advance of the day scheduled; scheduled the day (and time) a week prior; and to our amazement, the hole was not dug when we arrived. We had to go to the office and Roger said he was sorry it wasn't ready. My sister and our family then had to wait for the hole to be dug. Several of us had made arrangements to take off work, leave work for a while, travel from out of the Johnstown area; and Roger just said sorry. I know that mistakes happen, but it would have been professional for Roger to come to the grave site in person and talk to my sister. I really don't think it's too much out of the realm of business to at least offer her a percentage refund apology. No way. Roger feels that since it was done on the day, that is enough. So, in essence, Roger is saying that should he decide to dig that hold at 6 pm, we would just have to wait. Shame on him. Burials are a very trying time.
