From the kindness of her team taking my mother back to PA to sitting with me and explaining all of the funeral ceremony options, she was compassionate and quick to get back to me to answer my questions. I am so appreciative for her attentiveness and her attention to detail. She was kind and even mailed me the death certificates so I wouldn't have to travel again to pick them up. 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.

The short brief service inside was short and sweet and to the point. However, the disappointment came when we had to wait almost 30 minutes after the brief service just to be able to go down to the site where they would place his casket. I do believe that they did not even have the ground ready at the time that we finished. We were actually given no reason as to why we had to wait so long. It looks to be a very well kept ground but, it would be nice to inform people of the reasoning for having to wait so long once the brief service was over. The flag received was also very nice.

As Baltimore natives, over the decades, our family members have used a variety of funeral homes…read moreafter the deaths of our loved ones. Some have been pretty good, and others have unfortunately not met our expectations. In fact. one large funeral establishment that sits on a hill, off the beltway in Lutherville, did such a poor job with my father that I asked the mortician the identity of the "man in the box". When my mom recently passed away we researched some funeral options. Several years ago I attended a funeral for a friend at Johnson-Fosbrink and I was impressed with the caring attitude and professionalism of the staff. I was not disappointed when we negotiated with Tim Fosbrink concerning my mom's arrangements. The price was very reasonable given our desires. Straight off the bat Tim advised us that we would not incur a $700.00 embalming fee if we were cremating my mom, (which was her preference). Unless I was an "insider" I wouldn't have known that. The funeral home was also able to create a wonderful DVD video package chronicling mom's life. Heather, Tim and all the staff were respectful, gracious and accommodating. The physical plant was clean and beautiful. I highly recommend Johnson-Fosbrink. They are top drawer.

Our family member that consulted with Ms. Evans was asking for clarification of services and was met with multiple derogatory remarks. This interaction complicated and added unnecessary stress to an already grieving person/family. On Evan's website they promise warmth and compassion in a professional atmosphere. Also, gentle guidance and support is promised. If you are promising this to grieving customers you should deliver, otherwise please choose another profession. True compassion is authentic. You can't give what you don't have.
