It is nicely designed inside with kind of an open floor plan. There is a kid's room if you happen to have children that don't know exactly what is going on. Multiple places to hold a conversation with loved ones. Ample parking outside.

Phew, this is a hard review to write and one I didn't think I would have to write. On top of that,…read moreit was a tough time all around. I never, in a million years, thought that I would have to come to a funeral home for one of my parents arrangements. I mean, I knew it was was bound to happen, but I didn't think this soon. Most of the whole ordeal is a bit of a blur still a month and a half later. Bear with me when I go through this review. Once we arrived to make arrangements we were put at ease by the funeral director. She made things as comfortable for us and easy to make selections of what direction we were going in for the service. The funeral director was amazing, she treated us with the utmost dignity in our time of sorrow. She made it easy by giving subtle suggestions on how we should do what we were about to do. Everything that we wanted to have for the service she was able to accommodate. The day of the service the room was beautifully set up and ready for receiving friends and family. We weren't rushed in any way when it came to retrieving items after the service and we could take our time. This funeral home has been in town for years and the new owner of the business has updated a bit. Making for a comfortable place to grieve.

When I think of post offices, this is where my mind wonders. The simple set up, the pleasant staff…read morethat remembers your name, and the actual post office box you had to retrieve your mail from. Growing up in this area is why I remember a post office being a safe place rather than a hassle as I have grown to learn from living elsewhere for nearly twenty years now. The interesting thing about this town, Northern Cambria, is that there are two post offices in town. I know what you are thinking, why? Well, back before the year 2000 Northern Cambria did not exist. What you had were two separate towns called Spangler and Barnesboro. They then decided that in an effort to save money they would consolidate into one town, thus forming Northern Cambria. Instead of building a new consolidated post office they kept the two separate. If you put in the zip code 15714, it may still show up as Barnesboro. Also, if you notice the address for here the zip code comes up 15775, the old one for Spangler (even though when this address was just entered by me, I put 15714 as 15775 no longer exists). Look on some maps and you might still see the two towns still distinguished as separate entities, but in actually they no longer exist anymore. The post office that this review is for is still in its spot for as far back as I can remember. Not much has changed inside. The few exceptions being that you no longer need to separate your outgoing mail, they can all go into the same bin and the addition of newer technology for payment. Other than that, it's still that quiet area that people enter and leave quickly, much like a library. Once I moved away from home, my perception on how a post office operates definitely changed.

You don't have to deal with the employee that has been annoyed since an hour after the start of their shift. Also, it just feels like it moves faster. I stopped in here while on my way to an event. It had been a while, but I finally ran out of stamps. Like others, I don't want to just buy a stamp at a time, so I came in here to buy a book of stamps and to mail the letter that I needed to mail. When you walk in, it is like your typical small town post office. You walk into the area that has all the post office boxes and then you need to go into the lobby area for all other transactions, inquiries, and purchases. When I walked into the lobby area I had one person in front of me finishing up and then I was greeted by the nicest postal employee I have ever had the joy of dealing with. She greeted me so warmly and started a conversation with me like it was second nature and I knew her my whole life. She was so cheery throughout that I almost forgot to mail my letter. For some odd reason, post offices in rural area are so much more pleasant to deal with than others. And why is it that everyone seems to talk in a whisper when inside, this isn't a library after all?
