It's taken me some time to write this review, but let me start by saying Summer and Hector from the…read moreKing Street location were more than exceptional. My parents died 6 months apart, and they treated me like family. When my mother died, Hector called me right away to arrange to pick her up. When they picked her up, he let me know she was in their care at their location. Summer was an incredible funeral director. Her professionalism was exceptional. She helped find a way to pay for my mother's funeral, and let me tell you the money was not her priority. She prepared both my parents' bodies. My mother looked so beautiful. She even painted her nails. My father looked very handsome. The quality of work was more than I ever expected. Summer created wonderful pictures of my mother and father with all their favorite hobbies. Hector even invited a friend of my parents to play and sing at my father's funeral. People with big hearts like Summer and Hector who really care about their quality of work and their clients, are sent from Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior, and I'm grateful for them. Thank you for helping me through such a difficult time in my life. I was very blessed to have your help.

Thank you for being there for me.

Everything was arranged over the phone and virtually. They took the hardest part of everything out of the process for me and made it an act of love, care and remembrance for my mother. Every cost was very up front- nothing hidden, no surprises. They were affordable, and had so many options making if flexible for my limited budget, yet still met my expectations for my mother's beloved memory. We love the Stewartstown location, and would call them again if the need arises. Thank you, to everyone there at Hartenstein's...for making this easier and very special.

From the moment we contacted Etzweiler, we were treated as family. They were prompt in every communication and generous with our arrangements. We worked with Bob and Shannon extensively. The flowers that Shannon ordered (through Royers Flowers) were absolutely breathtaking. She also recorded video (per our request) which was professional and promptly uploaded to my dad's Tribute page. Bob was excellent as well. He facilitated the transfer of my dad across state lines during COVID. He dressed my dad to the nines, and presented him so beautifully. The staff here is not only gifted, but they take extreme pride in what they do. Never did we imagine that we would be in this position during COVID. The service we received from Etzweiler was unparalleled, and we cannot thank them enough.

Over 30 years Snyder funeral home have served Lancaster County not just service, but I personally consider them family. I have attended over 40 funerals for my loved ones, and Snyder is always there. Last month my mother suddenly passed, and the pain was so unreal that it felt, as if my heart was being pulled out of chest, I knew God would carry but Snyder would support me, just like they have done in the past. I had the privilege to work with Chad Snyder Elite team located at 414 East King Street to provide a 3-day funeral service for my mother.

He really valued that my Uncle was a veteran. He went above and beyond to allow my Aunt to view my Uncle prior to the funeral. I can't believe how natural my Uncle looked. What a great job he did. I was impressed by everything. He helped keep it so we didn't have to do much. I really liked that he took care of a lot so we didn't have to. I can't thank them enough.

Our family (going back to our grandparents) has been a loyal/regular user of Myers (and later…read moreBuhrig) Funeral Home since the early 1950s. However, because of a practice by Buhrig, specifically by Bob Buhrig and Kirk Freed, specifically where they INSIST that veteran's Death Certificates are $20.00 when, in fact, they are to be FREE, regardless of whether one obtains from from Vital Statistics or via a Registrar (which is an arm of Vital Statistics), that stance CROSSED THE LINE. Granted, to some this may be a small issue...but...it is a BLACK AND WHITE issue...and if Buhrig is going to overcharge in THIS area, it destroys ANY AND ALL sense of ETHICS in its other financial areas. If you do a search on other funeral homes and read where they address veteran death certificates, you'll find that they ALL state they are free of charge. But, Buhrig, even after being called-out on this specific matter, STILL insists they are $20.00 each, and will even suggest that you buy ten (10) certificates for potential executor tasks (i.e. pensions, bank accounts, insurance policies, et cetera). I can't help but believe that Buhrig is "pocketing" these $20.00 charges (for EACH certificate) for veterans (and SPOUSES of such veterans). They are also overly greedy in certain other areas of their services. For example, they charge $140 for a mere register book (where visitors to the viewing/funeral sign their names). You can buy a comparable or better register book online for a mere $20-$25. They also suggest an honorarium of $200-$400 for the pastor whereas other funeral homes suggest a going rate is around $175. What does Buhrig care; it's not THEIR money; they simply prey on the grieving and vulnerable family. For the first time in over 70 years, our family has decided that we will no longer do business with Buhrig based on THIS incident...and...based on other "concerning" observations when it comes to their transparencies. No way. I have even consulted with the State Investigator to look into their veteran death certificate practices, and am happy to see that in our initial telephone conversation, they are taking a HARD look into Buhrig. We shall see what the outcome is, but [again] in our initial conversations, I do feel that Buhrig will become "enlightened" that they can't pull this on everybody. They had taken the wrong stance with the wrong customer!!! And...if you opt to set up an Irrevocable Burial Reserve Account (IBRA) as part of your pre-planning tasks, do NOT be misled that you MUST submit these through Buhrig Funeral Home. You can set these up in a variety of financial institutions -- not ONLY funeral homes.
