My experience with Holy Sepulchre was a nightmare from February until early May. I needed to…read moreconfirm whether there was room for my brother in a cremation only plot where my parents are buried. Before he died, it was his wish to be with our parents and he seemed sure that there was room for him. Just in case, I contacted the cemetery because I did not want any conflict to arise when the "at-need" time came. I became frustrated as the month of March arrived. I began to receive marketing emails from the company that operates and manages the cemetery on behalf of the salesperson. That prompted me to email the sales person to inquire about whether he found an answer to my question posed in February. Sadly, on May 1, that answer came after we had the funeral. In February, the salesperson indicated that he was sure there were "room for 4 souls" in the grave with my parents and he moved to quickly try to sell me on prepaying the grave opening fee and purchase other potential services. The same salesperson called me when we scheduled the service to introduce himself as the person who would be handling my brother's services. This became an unnecessary dispute that caused a lot of stress. While the cemetery "made an exception" to allow my brother to be buried with my parents, there still is something not right here. Another concern about my interactions with their area VP has arisen. He noted that there is no room on my parents' stone to add my brother's name. While that is true, it was also claimed there was no room for my brother to be buried but there was plenty of space for my brother's urn to be buried and there looks to be plenty of room for another stone to be placed. I gave the cemetery 2 stars--originally up from the 1 star I would give because I had a very positive experience with the cemetery's frontline staff when I visited the cemetery on May 6. Taras provided me excellent directions on how to navigate the large grounds so I could visit my great-grandparents' gravesite. His directions were excellent. He provided a map where he even drew a line with the best route to follow through the cemetery. Despite the overly aggressive sales tactics, I ended up having a great experience on the front-lines with Taras.

I wanted her to go to a muslim burial place not a christian one pretending to be muslim. Terrible. Also gibbs threatened me over the phone.

Luckily I was able to get mom out of that sick place but at the expense of giving them $1900. Which doesnt make sense even the other funeral home was confused why he was charging that. Insane.

Any funeral and its associated services are going to be expensive but Visconto did not make me feel pressured with upselling of goods and services. This is the second time my family has used their services. First in 2022, when my mother passed away and just this year (2026) when my brother passed away. Before my brother passed, he wanted to do some preplanning. Lou came to our home and spoke with my brother and it made things easier when the time came. Jena was great. She worked her magic with a very well put together slideshow that had music in the background. Mike and staff were great when the evening viewing was held. The funeral mass was very well done. There was even a hiccup that occurred with the cemetery. Lou and family advocated and supported me throughout that process. My brother's urn was held for safekeeping at the funeral home. With the funeral services held April 17 & 18 and the burial service at the service finally held on May 20, that is why I am truly satisfied with the high quality services provided by Visconto Funeral Home. I like to call it the Visconto Family Funeral Home, where your affairs are truly a family affair.

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.
