The two people who came to the house to pick up at 4:00 AM during a snowstorm were very professional. The Funeral Director, Sherry, was empathetic and professional. There was no "sales pressure" of any kind. Sherry gave clear descriptions of all the services and prices. Everything was very clearly and compassionately explained. Once services were selected, Sherry carefully reviewed them and the prices. The prices were very reasonable. There is ample parking. The decor of the funeral home is attractive. The common areas and every room I saw were spotless. Every aspect of my family's contact with AJ Desmond & Sons showed caring and professionalism. I highly recommend AJ Desmond & Sons!

A loved one passed away at home and this was the nearest funeral home. We called and they were able…read moreto come pick the deceased person up. We went up soon after to discuss services and pricing. The place itself is gorgeous; bright, welcoming. Not stuffy or sad. You can tell it's been recently updated. We were comfortable in the lobby and in the consultation room. We were offered complimentary bottled water, which is nice when you're bone dry from crying for hours straight. We made it clear from the beginning we didn't want a funeral or even viewing service. The salesperson was respectful of that and moved forward with going over cremation services. The cremation service itself is carried out by another company and was only like $600? But for some reason, the funeral home charges almost $3000 on top of that for their time and services. That seems wild to me for someone who didn't want viewing, mourning services, visitation, etc. It's expensive to live and it's expensive to die. The salesperson was friendly and mostly respectful, although we could hear the misogyny when he spoke to my husband directly, and not his sister, who was actually handling all the business. Don't like that. But he accommodated all of our simple requests without fuss. Besides the oldschool mentality of our salesperson, it was a fine place to spend a couple hours talking about a dead person.

Unfortunately, my family had to pull together a funeral for my dad unexpectedly in early May. Unexpected is the key word because if it's not already planned, all the decisions and details can be incredibly overwhelming - all while you're grieving. Mandziuk & Son were wonderful from start to finish, and helped make everything seamless. They guided us, were very professional, accommodating, and perhaps most importantly, helped us pull everything together incredibly quickly. For example, we picked out some pictures and some songs that they were able to create a nice memorial video for us within 24 hours. They also work closely with the churches and cemeteries so the family doesn't have to worry about coordinating any of that. With their help, I felt we were able to really honor my dad's life and for that I'll always be grateful.

In summary: Authentically-Caring, Attuned to Our Unique Desires followed through with Detail-Oriented Execution My Dad passed away just prior to the Christmas holiday and during the Snowstorm of the Century -certainly not the best timing. From my first phone call with Samantha Burke, her compassionate tone and patience with my numerous phone calls was superb. General Manager, Tim Summerford, took care of us like we were his own family and he made the Arrangement process comfortable, and respectful and put my family at ease. When it came time to do the printing, on the day before Christmas Eve, Amy Thompson stayed late -despite the treacherous weather & road conditions, She pleasantly accommodated my interminable revisions and she even caught a mistake that I made. She ensured everything was done on time despite it being a holiday weekend. On Christmas Eve day, with the roads still treacherous, Erica Simmer showed authentic care about our situation, from the moment I walked in. Her calming demeanor and easygoing responsiveness to my multiple last-minute requests lightened my burden immensely, during a time when I had millions of thoughts going through my head. On the day of the service, Tim Summerford, Tom Townsend, Laura Morrissey, John Desmond, and Bill Frazier all made sure the Visitation, Viewing and Funeral Mass went so smoothly that our family did not have to think of anything. All of our last-minute requests were met with the quiet confidence and responsiveness of a five-star concierge. My Mom, who does the funeral coordination at her Parish, said "everything was perfect." and I would agree. Afterward, they provided a Compassion Help Line, to help with the grieving process at no cost. Funeral services are not something most of us shop for every day. I hope in some small way this enables you to make an informed and wise decision, to select the team at Pixley Funeral Home for one of the most important days of your life, whether you are planning ahead or have an immediate need. I strongly suggest you plan ahead. It makes a world of difference.

I was married to my man almost 41 years and it's true what the saying says, life has a way of coming around full circle. I was born and raised in Clawson and after our Mother and Father passed away we bought the house from the estate and my husband died in the family house after many years of sickness. Every funeral home is going to serve you what they learned in mortuary school, hopefully. But the funeral home will take on the personalities of the directors. Just as the quaint township we raised our children the logo was, Serving the community country style, here in Clawson it's logo is, The little city with a BIG heart and I am quite convinced that Paul Gramer fulfills his part in that logo.

I completed the funeral services for my mother-in-law at the Gramer Funeral Home in Clawson in July 2024. As part of our family's customs, I plan to carry her ashes overseas next year for the immersion ceremony (Asthi Visarjan). When I submitted the application to the Consulate in October 2025 for a no-objection certificate to transport the ashes, they requested a cremation certificate with some specific information. I contacted Gramer Funeral Home for assistance, and Megan and Paul were extremely helpful. They prepared the certificate the same day--within just a few hours--and provided the required letter without any hesitation, even though a year had passed since the cremation. Their support, promptness, and understanding during this additional step meant a great deal to me and my family. Thank you, Navin
