Sadly a dear friend of ours suddenly passed away. We attended the viewing, the prayer service, the trip to the church and the final trip to the cemetary.
I was pleased with what I saw, as much as one can be pleased in such circumstances. The building is beautiful and has ramps for those that need them. There is ample parking but it is on a one way street parallel to Ohio River Boulevard. The room was arranged beautifully. Employees were available but were not obtrusive. They could sense when someone might need a little help inside the viewing but they didnt hover. Everything was perfect both days. We knew where to be and what to do, accompanying our friend to the church and later to the cemetery.
Syka struck just the right balance of professionalism and compassion. It's a sad time. Not everyone is experienced with the rituals that may be part of the entire funeral experience. My friend had a beautiful funeral. But I am sad she is gone. read more
