Although it had been nearly 18 years since our family needed the services of a funeral home, there…read morewas no question as to who it would be. It needed to be Hollis! That is where all of our loved ones services have been held. From the very first phone call to Charlie, we immediately knew we were where we needed to be. The home itself is amazing. Its grandeur and character welcomed us with a sense of peace and familiarity, with memories flooding back of the traditional services our parents and grandparents had there. However, there was one thing about Hollis that we didn't realize had changed. Charlie teamed up with his daughter, Eileen - and they couldn't make a better team! Charlie had already earned our business with his charming personality, years of experience, and the comfort of traditions. Eileen brought an even further sense of compassion and comfort to the experience. She is lightheaded, innovative and reassuringly professional. We highly recommend Hollis Funeral Home ! Whether you are looking for a service that is less formal and more personal, or you prefer the traditional, Charlie and Eileen will make it happen. You'll leave feeling like you have been taken care of by dear friends.

However, there were things here and there that really didn't go well the during the process. During the services, the clergy they provided called my grandfather by the wrong name, and she spent minutes throughout the ceremony shuffling through her binder randomly picking out readings that didn't really flow at all. We truly felt they called her about two hours before the services and she had no time to prepare. We were also pretty rushed during the carrying of the casket to the burial site from the hearse. We weren't given clear directions on how to carry or how to lineup, and even though we had eight pallbearers picked out the gentleman from the funeral home decided to help carry the casket from the back. They were very nice and helpful to my grandmother which was important to us but I hope they make sure they know the name of man in the casket the next time they start the services.

I scheduled a sit down and met with Juliana she had NO remorse or sympathy and pretty much snobbishly asked "well what do u want." the establishment was grim, chairs and furniture was very dated and upcharges for EVERYTHING.

However, the funeral director, Jan Maloff at A. Dewitt Memorial Funeral Home was fantastic and took all my stress away.

On top of that, myself, along with other relatives who lived out of town had to use zoom to view the service and Jan made sure everything went smoothly. It was like I was there.

At first I really liked "T". I thought he was a nice guy with a therapeutic voice, saying all the…read moreright things to a grieving family. Turns out he is passive-aggressive, judgy, and sneaky: My sister-in-law had agreed to pay for the funeral from my brother's very significant life insurance policy. "T" knew this from the outset - yet when she didn't pay on time, "T" called to collect from me instead. I said I would help him collect by working on my sister in law - on condition that he not remind her that as a second signatory on the funeral paperwork I could be forced to pay instead. In return for my help, he was happy to agree. Guess what? He went ahead and told her everything anyway - that if she doesn't pay he can just bill me instead - and WORSE, that I had asked him to hide this from her. He gave no thought to issues this may cause between us while grieving the loss of my brother. And it wasn't even necessary because she honored her agreement to pay anyway - but what does this say about "T"? Why would he betray an agreement and backstab someone trying to help him? This was wayyy out there. I think we've all met people like this - quiet demeanor, pretend to be nice .. but for their own reasons plan out sneaky ways to undermine you. Additionally, when I called "T" later to get a copy of a certificate, after the bill was paid of course .. he rudely refused to give it to me. He lost that therapeutic voice and, with a very snotty, judgy tone said that since I wasn't the "paying" party, I could go ask my sister in law. You tell me if this is the type of person you want to deal with while grieving.
