Frank Kapr, his family and staff have cared for my immediate and extended family for decades. When…read moremy Father passed, Mr. Kapr made all of his flight arrangements to Pittsburgh as well as providing ground transportation to Scottdale. He helped us plan a fitting tribute to our Father, including finding a Bagpiper on short notice. We were very pleased.

The funeral was as usual but the rented room that was across the street was a disaster in many…read more This room was on the second floor which is not a good idea as the funeral attendees are mostly 70+. Yes there is a stair lift but thinks about getting, perhaps, 25+ people up the stairs on this lift which is slow and after going up must come back down to get another person - HOURS. Next there is only one bathroom for 25+ people. The caterer that the funeral home recommended did a "drop and run" (Elegant Tents and Catering). Their All-Inclusive package did not include anything to drink. So what is All-Inclusive???? The family of the deceased is usually not able to remember "everything" and All-Inclusive should mean everything!!!! that an event would/should need. Also there was no employee of Elegant Tents in this room on arrival which meant some attendees were left to open all the food items. What if there was a problem??? Who to call??? We were later told by the funeral home that an employee would have been an additional charge. (Remember All-Inclusive). And when we were cleaning up what did we find but a hot box that contained two additional trays of Chicken Parmesan. Who was supposed to know this??? My opinion as well as others that attended this funeral was that Elegant Tents Catering really falls short In doing what they are paid to do. Kapr Funeral really does not think about funeral attendees but just want to rent this most undesirable room to unsuspecting people and prey on the grieving. Buyer Beware.

I have never experienced the process of preparing funeral arrangements before and when I tell you…read morethat Mr. Shell went above and beyond, I can't stress that enough. He listened to our wishes, guided us through the almost impossible maze of paperwork and preparations from beginning to end. The amazing folks who work there were extremely professional, caring and helpful beyond words. Jerome W Shell Funeral Home is truly a cut above the rest. We will always refer family and friends their way. You absolutely cannot go wrong choosing Shell when it matters the most. Melissa W.

Personal service from the owner Tim Billick. Everything was handled flawlessly and timely. Very…read moreattentive to detail and provided some informal guidance on things not offered by other funeral homes. He did everything he said he would. He and an associate showed up in a timely manner to pick up my father in law and was very professional and well dressed. We had an initial meeting that evening then a followup the next day with more details and pricing. Once the viewings and funeral were done he delivered anything that belonged to us that afternoon and went over in detail everything that he delivered and everything he had done on our behalf. I have had very few dealings with funeral homes but I am 100% confident in the abilities of this one. They paid for everything for us and billed us one total. Everything went perfectly.

It is never fun to review a funeral home, but they are still businesses. I'm not going to go into…read moremuch detail as to why I was here other than to attend a friend's funeral. Marra Marshall is located in Monongahela and is surprising a beautiful building. The outside is a beautiful building and the inside is set up to allow for people to pay their respect in a comfortable atmosphere. Parking is a bit wonky as there is on street parking and a parking lot behind the building. The staff kind of direct you where to park so that they have maximum parking available. What I am going to review here is how kind the staff are to those that attend a funeral. They were really respectful and spoke in hushed tones when talking with those visiting. They were helpful in directing people where to go. When I went to leave they were empathetic to the situation. Rest easy friend.

From that first phone call Dominic provided great care and compassion in arranging my husband's service. Any time I thought there were obstacles, he calmed my fears and worked toward solving them, which he did. The day of the service proceeded smoothly because if his meticulous planning.

A complete nightmare that is still going on. John Mabry, the funeral director and owner, said he…read more"lost" a diamond engagement ring that was supposed to be buried with a family member. He then proceeded to not even show up at the viewing because he said he had a migraine. I called him later and he said he missed the viewing because he was at home looking for the ring. Why would the ring be at his house? The greeter went into his office trying to help us find the ring and pulled out a large bag of jewelery. You can make your own assumptions about that. Still no ring, no empathy, and he added extra charges onto the bill. If you choose this funeral home lock your car doors and good luck.

70 years in business is worth Yelping about. Obviously, they are doing just fine on their own…read moremerits without the aid of Yelp, but certainly deserve a review. Far more than your average hardware store. Any business can stock their shelves with endless merchandise, but very few can back up their products and services with the level of knowledge and dedicated service found underneath this roof. Its usually my go- to for screen repairs and replacement. Other services include key- making, glass cutting, equipment rentals, small engine repair and so on. This family owned business is an asset to the community and a refreshing alternative to chain box stores. Consistent staff and consistent service is obviously key to their longevity.

The employees seem eager to help anyone with their projects and are very friendly. They also offer a few more services that range from propane and kerosene fill ups, fencing estimates and bids, small engine repair shop, and pellet stove sales, service, and parts. The Stihl selection is great, too. Definitely would recommend to anyone who has questions about their home or equipment. A great local hardware store for people in the Youngwood, New Stanton, Ruffsdale, and Mt. Pleasant area.
