Jen wanted to know more about my dad; what he was like and his life story. Jen felt like family and I was very comfortable speaking to her via phone and in person. She did a lot to help me.

Unfortunately my grandfather passed away recently and we were in need of the services of a funeral…read morehome. We chose this funeral home because was in the hometown of where my grandfather grew up and is near the church and cemetery. The funeral director did a good job of guiding us through the process of paperwork and procedure. The funeral director was not very warm or consoling so I can't say that I liked him very much, but he WAS very efficient and appropriate. My grandfather was very thrifty and insisted that we would not spend a lot of money on his funeral. The funeral director was understanding and did not pressure us or try to guilt us into spending more money. We did have to pay up front for everything (which is the industry standard) but it IS shocking when you have to shell out thousands of dollars in one sitting. We got an excellent price (2,000 dollars less than we spent on another family member over 10 years ago at another funeral home,) so that was a plus. Everything was as we asked it to be and they humored our quirky requests. I do NOT think however, that they did a very good job of making my grandfather look like himself. He looked like a stranger, which actually made it much easier for me and my family. So my review of Marvil is mixed. But I would definitely suggest Marvil if you are on a tight budget and live in the Darby/South Philadelphia area.

Losing a loved one is a really tough thing. You are totally overwhelmed emotionally and faced with…read morethe daunting task of planning a funeral -- not to mention being the liaison between your immediate family and pretty much everyone you all know. It is quite a challenge for anyone, even someone who is hyper-organized like me. Bob and Erich Wetzel were amazing as they helped guide us through this very difficult process. From the first contact by phone to our in-person meeting to plan the ceremony to the ceremony itself, the Wetzel family took care of our family like we were actual family. It is no mystery to me why they have been in business for more than a century. We worked closely with Bob and especially Erich, who impressed even this 24/7 plugged in gal with his speed of his reply to any email I sent at any time of day. I think at most I waited 2 hours for a reply ever, and many times I had a reply within a few minutes. In addition to the tremendous respect, care and professionalism shown to our family, I think it's important to also note that the Wetzels brought a bit of good common sense and even, yes, a bit of humor. They helped us transition from that place where you're just shell-shocked that your loved one has died to the place where you are remembering good stories and laughing with each other -- celebrating someone's life rather than mourning their loss. They were low-pressure and made us feel like the only thing we needed to focus on was making the best decisions for us. There was no pressure to buy the most expensive option or be fancier than we wanted to be. (We just aren't really fancy people, after all.) The Wetzels were tremendous communicators, with clear and concise directions. They answered all of our questions, gave us material in writing, included reminders for items we might forget and also, as I mentioned above, entertained every single question we had at all hours of the day. Due to this excellent communication, there were no surprises and the ceremony was exactly how we expected it to be and was beautiful. One other thing I wanted to mention: This is the first time I've planned a funeral, but I do feel like one thing you are paying the funeral home to do is to help take care of all the nitty gritty details for you. When you are planning a funeral, you don't want to be bothered with figuring out how to obtain death certificates, how to file for a permit or how to interact with the cemetery. Wetzel and Son was able to do all of these things for us with very minimal information or effort needed on our part. You are so overwhelmed during this time that you really need someone to help you with the details, and the Wetzels were pretty much flawless in this respect. They dealt with the cemetery arrangements, filed the right permits, put the paperwork through for death certificates and probably a bunch of things I don't even know about. For the ceremony day, they made sure the flowers were all in place on time, they ensured that everyone in our party made it to the proper place, and they even stood by to help the ladies wearing heels navigate the site. They even had a relationship with the restaurant where we had the luncheon following the ceremony and placed a discreet call to the restaurant once our ceremony started to give an exact guest count and the approximate time of arrival. These details matter for sure, but it is such a relief to hand them off to someone you trust and not worry about them yourself. Even things like making sure all of the cards from the flower arrangements made it into our hands after the ceremony were all taken care of before we could even think to do them. A+ all the way. Worth every penny we paid and then some.

At the end of May 2019 I attended a funeral run by this group. If it was not for the reason I will…read moreexplain I would have no reason to not give them 5 stars but I was appalled when I learned of this: Unfortunately, when people were arriving to pay their respects there was a very unwelcomed family member whose actions caused a small argument and someone accidentally bumped into a table resulting in a small vase with a little bit of water and a couple flowers to fall and break. The small puddle of water would have been an easy clean up. The only son of the deceased went to go take care of it but someone working for this group told them they had it covered. I did actually witness this part. I forget how the conversation came up but a couple months ago the son of the deceased told me he was sent a $75 clean-up fee for that. That is a classless move. Did you tell him you had it covered to score an extra $75 or do you think $75 is what you should charge someone to clean up a puddle of water after you mislead them with a quick casual rest assured "I got it." Either way that was a classless move and showed a sincere lack of respect. I am sure you can figure out who was billed for this and give them their money back. Shame!

They are very efficient. they have the details at their finger prints and know what they are doing. When this hits a family the last thing ANYONE is thinking of is what type of wood to make the casket out of or what particular flowers you want. I mean yes you want that stuff BUT you don't think clearly, that is what they do. They help you sort out the muddle and help make it all happen. The down side was availability. yes they made it happen and they were out of sight pretty much at the service and just a little too out of sight. when I had questions it was a hunt to find someoen and rather more to the point there was soemthing i wanted to drop off after the planning meeting but before the funeral and making daily stops at the office no one was there. I was told there was a phone number to call but I was at the back door and saw nothing-that's where the parking lot is, and the idea of no one there gave the place, in the words of Dashiel Hamnett "A sort of vacant feeling" but other than this they were very good and hopefully it will be a LOONG time before we need their services but I'd have no problem going back

Craft-Givnish treated us like family. They knew how to speak to my grieving mother and how to accommodate her needs as Buddhists without hesitation. Moreover, Craft-Givnish tastefully made up my father for an open casket and had a very quick turnaround when it came to pamphlets, posters, and videos. My father's love of golf was even memorialized as a golf scoring card. These personal touches mattered. We didn't have to think about anything funeral-wise (timing, coordinating flowers, traffic, services, etc.) and was allowed to focus on the what mattered most: my father's life. Craft-Givnish created a truly wonderful celebration, which allowed my mother and my family to grieve peacefully.
