Strauch Funeral Homes

My brother-in-law Aaron passed away at Geisinger's Medical Center in Scranton on November 2024 and…read moresince we live out of state, we asked the hospital to recommend a funeral home. The recommended Edward Chomko in Scranton and we were blown away by their professionalism and attentiveness. It is a long running family business and we dealt with Andy. He went so far above and beyond, that it lifted such a huge burden in the midst of our grieving. He not only picked us up at our hotel since our car's " check engine" light was on, he called Geisinger's to make arrangements for us to pick up Aaron's belongings and he drove us there, came in and waited for us to pick them up and he drove us back to the hotel. He made the arrangements so easy and even sat with us when we had to speak to the local bank about closing the account and getting the death certificate over to them. It really restored our faith in humanity seeing how far out of his way Andy went; especially at a time when its hard to think clearly and grieve at the same time. I cannot recommend them enough.

When our mom suddenly passed away in July 2020, my sister and I were entrusted with the task of…read morelaying our mom to rest with dignity and respect. Since my sister and I reside outside Pennsylvania we had to rely on input from Google research and input from local residents. In the end we selected the Edward J Chomko Funeral Home. Both Edward and his son Andy went above the call of duty (yes they served our country during war times) to ensure our mom received the much deserved burial. They provided sound advice and direction on coffin selection, processes for obtaining & adhering to state and local documentation requirements. Because of their impeccable service and professionalism my sister and I had ample time to mourn our loss. We will always be grateful to Edward and Andy for all their hard work and time in making this difficult time easier to deal with. God bless Edward and Andy and thanks for your service.

The entire family was appreciative, and my grandmother wanted me to pass along the following: "I want to extend my sincerest thanks for the care and compassion that was exhibited during my husband's funeral. I would do so in person if I could. I thought the funeral that you performed for him was perfect in every respect and I could not have asked for anything better. You were very courteous and every detail went according to plan. I could tell that it was very practiced, which is a big credit to your company. I feel lucky and know I am in good hands as my family has also selected you to take care of me when my time comes (but I hope it's not for a while!)."

Miller Bean Funeral Home

My mom recently passed away unexpectedly. Despite being a hospice nurse and having experience…read moreworking with funeral homes, I felt pretty lost as this was my first time planning funeral arrangements for anyone. The Lackawanna County Coroner knew I was from out of town and suggested Miller-Bean to me and I'm so thankful that he did. Carmine was incredibly kind and made this process as easy as it could be. Everything can be done remotely which was the most convenient option for us. It was incredibly easy to communicate with Carmine via email, call, and text. I had fingerprint jewelry with my mom's ashes made and he had them shipped to me once received and ready. I will never forget this experience and I am just so thankful.

They also worked on the formal living and dining rooms. In the kitchen, the stove was scrubbed to sparkling brand new. They will be returning to finish the job that was bigger than we all thought and coming back biweekly to keep it maintained. I am grateful to know that my parents' house will be taken care of.
