Unfortunately, I do not live close to the funeral home and they were recommended by the cemetery…read morecaretaker where my father was buried. The service I used was to order a monument for my fathers gravesite. Working with the director was pleasant, but didn't seem that my business was really wanted since I was not local (our interactions were conducted via email and phone). I placed and order for the monument, above my requested budget, and was not provided any follow-up details for processing, timelines, etc... When I received the invoice in the mail, there were no line items broken out for the monument, services, or fees, just all bundled together into a single line item. After several e-mails (no responses), and follow-up calls, I was able to get a timeline for the placement of the monument (about 5 months). Now, the date provided for placement has come and gone and I have not heard from the director or home. I drove out to the gravesite and the cemetery has a placement ready for the monument but no monument is there. I am now forced to follow-up again to determine where the monument is and how much longer it will be. My only advice for the funeral home: follow-up and customer service goes a long way.

Despite the hardship that normally comes with this part of life, I have nothing but positive things to say about Finkenbinder / Rothermel. Dave my assigned funeral director handled anything and everything then I had to deal with during this time period. He boiled everything down and made it straightforward so that I could quickly make choices and pretty much guided me through the whole process. He definitely went above and beyond while helping me work through some issues with a county coroner's office. I've had to deal with many vendors and various services during this time, but I can honestly say that the funeral services for my father were one of the easiest parts of the entire ordeal. I cannot say enough I cannot say "thank you" enough as they were always right on point and handling things before I even thought of them. I highly recommend their services.

Weaver Memorials

1.0

Working with Weaver Memorials has been one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences…read moreI've ever endured. I placed an order for my late father's headstone at their York location in December 2024. It took me time to work up the courage to get this done, but I chose to support a local, family-owned business, believing I would receive care and professionalism during such a sensitive time. Unfortunately, what I received was the complete opposite. From the very beginning, this process has been emotionally exhausting and filled with unprofessionalism. When I placed the order, I made it clear--multiple times--that the headstone needed to be flat due to cemetery regulations. This requirement had been discussed months earlier when I obtained a quote, and I reiterated it during my December visit. The employee I worked with assured me she would verify this with the cemetery before finalizing the order. She even consulted with her supervisor, who is part of the family that owns Weaver Memorials. Despite these assurances, I was contacted days later and told that the stone I purchased could not be placed in the cemetery. This happened even though I was explicitly promised verification beforehand. To make matters worse, instead of immediately correcting the mistake, the office attempted to upsell me on a more expensive stone in order to reduce my refund. I had to insist that the order be modified to a compliant flat headstone of the same material. I was repeatedly promised a refund within 3-5 business days, and an addendum to the order confirmed this. However, two weeks later, no refund had been issued. When I followed up in January 2025, I was told something completely different--that I would not receive the refund until the headstone was placed, which could take six months. This was a direct contradiction of their written promise and completely unacceptable. It left me feeling deceived, financially strained, and taken advantage of after I had already paid in full. For months, I emailed multiple people and made numerous calls, but received little to no response. By May, I still had no refund, and the headstone had not been placed. When I contacted them for an update, I was told they had been waiting on me to approve a sketch they had "supposedly" emailed. I had never received such an email or proof, and during those 5-6 months, no one followed up with me even once. Their negligence delayed both the placement of my father's headstone and my refund by another 6-8 weeks. Then, on August 4, 2025--my sister's death anniversary--I visited the cemetery and discovered my father's headstone (next to hers) had been placed without my knowledge. No one from Weaver Memorials contacted me to inform me it was installed, nor did they notify me that my refund would finally be processed. When I called, I was told it had been placed in mid-July, meaning weeks had gone by without any communication. Even then, I had to follow up twice more before my refund was finally issued. What makes this experience even more infuriating is that this seems to be a disturbing trend in this industry. When my sister passed 10 years ago, I faced similar problems with the ordering of her headstone--delays, lack of communication, and broken promises. To see the same unprofessional patterns repeating a decade later is deeply troubling and unacceptable. This entire ordeal has been unacceptable. Instead of easing a painful process, Weaver Memorials caused unnecessary emotional and financial hardship at one of the most vulnerable times in my life. Their repeated lack of professionalism, broken promises, failure to communicate, and outright negligence are inexcusable. I regret ever placing my trust in this company, and I would strongly caution anyone against doing the same.

The first two I was told would not be able to be stretched, which was totally fine, and he tried and I was satisfied. He gave me tips for stretching at home which was super kind and nice! The last two, I was not so thrilled with. The first pair needed resoled, which he did. But rather than asking if I would like them conditioned, he went ahead and conditioned the boots right over the stitching. He missed spots and other spots are globbed on. There is also conditioning inside the boot, very messily. The last pair, we discussed repair and I told him I was able to get a new pair of the same boots for 60$. He told me that rather than resoling them(due to the low price of new boots), that he would just repair the stitching. Fast forward to me coming to pick the boots up, and he resoled both the pairs, disregarding our conversation. He wrote no information down as to what I wanted. So here I am, paying an extra 60$ for resoled boots when I could have just bought them brand new for the same price. Disappointed with my service.

The burial permit, cremation certificate and death certificates all contained errors. We were disappointed that the funeral home was unwilling to at least pay for two additional corrected copies we ordered, as we initially paid for ten copies which all contained errors. It took many weeks for staff to respond to phone messages and text messages that were left with questions. We ended up scheduling the interment at the gap cemetery on our own. We were also disappointed with the staff that picked up the remains of our loved one after they passed away in our home (Courtney & David). They took away a sheet that belonged to us for some reason instead of just taking the remains. Thank goodness we thought to ask for her wedding ring as I later found out someone else we know who used Geigle forgot to do that and the funeral home was unwilling to give that back to the family. Also we saw Courtney at the Giant food store a few days later and said hello to her by her name. She just stared at us and walked away. very creepy, which in a nutshell explains our whole experience with Geigle. This summary was emailed to the funeral home's contact us link to inform management of our negative experience and they never responded.
