I lost my mother and was lost as to what to do. I knew the Coroner and asked him who to call. He…read moresuggested Bensing-Thomas along with a few others. I picked the right one. Phil came and took care of mommy as if she was his mother. When I was ready, I was not rushed....Phil and Christine explained everything, totally transparent. They treated daddy like he was their father, who after 60 years of marriage, was fractured beyond repair. My family was so taken how well we were treated, we made pre arrangements for daddy fearing we would lose him soon to be with mommy. Three years later we did. I was crushed, my daddy was gone. He died in hospice care in our home. Phil came and everything was taken care of perfectly. The pre-arrangements were perfect, nothing to do, just mourn and heal. We need more Phil and Christine in our world, with compassion, respect and patience. I would recommend Bensing-Thomas Funeral Home to anyone and everyone.

Sympathetic, kind and nice until the funeral is over. Don't dare ask for a death certificate,…read morebecause you will never receive it.

When I tried to cuddle random people outside the funeral home, they tended to Pula way from me but…read moreI understand. I like it because it's got a nice design and adds some character to the lovely city of Stroudsburg, as you can see from the picture. That's why I give it a good rating. If their services are as good as their building design then it's well worth using them. I'm not trying to Pula fast one, but Joseph J Pula isn't either, so that's good.

I have had to use them far too many times. Joe and his staff go above and beyond to make this time…read moreof grief a little less painful. This September when my dad passed away he sent someone up to New Hampshire to pick him up. Then he handled all of my dad's arrangements and he went above and beyond. I can't tell you what comfort that brought to my mom and our family. I can't thank the staff enough for all their hard work and concern.

This review is based on my most recent encounters with them. my dad passed away in January 2025…read more His military bronze marker was delivered to the cemetery in the beginning of March. we go to the cemetery for Memorial Day to find that it was not installed yet (the granite is there and has the holes drilled for it with mom's marker already there for years.) We were given excuse after excuse why it hadn't been done yet. They've been busy. It's been rainy. so today (July 30) I went to the cemetery again to find the marker has still not been placed. I spoke to two different people who had no reasons why it had t been done yet. the result? it will be placed tomorrow morning even though it is going to rain because rain doesn't affect the adhesive they use. This is hopefully the last time I need to demand they do it (gluing it down costs almost $500!) and they would not refund me the money to get another more reliable company to do it. Don't use this cemetery or Prospect Cemetery in East Stroudsburg (same parent company) unless you want to be in constant contact with them (in person, they don't return messages) about everything.

I first got a notice in the mail for my father who has recently passed away. I called them and told…read morethem that and not to bother me again. Well, 2 weeks later they thought it would be a brilliant idea to call and leave a message. I would sooner like to be tossed in a dumpster than deal with them as their complete lack of decency is outrageous!
