Like an extension to my family-- Nat, Melanie, and Kealey offered advice at each phase of my journey. They offered educational checklists, followed through on state-issued death certificates, delighted in an order of customized St. Jude prayer cards, and answered each impromptu call on life insurance policies. I trusted their word. I found friendship in their hugs. Even with my trusted binder of notes by my side, I found relief in knowing I could fall back on their grace when I came up short on estate planning. Some decisions are just easier to make with a knowledgeable friend at your side. The team knew when to guide and when to respect the pace of grief, especially upon Dad's departure from our home. Nat leaned into sorrow knowing exactly how to remind me of Dad's presence, "Would you like to carry Dad down the aisle?" I found the necessary confidence to tackle estate planning, as an only daughter to an unwed father. I know it was Dad's most sincere last gift to me to place me in the hands of the Pantalone team. I found the loving presence of God in their oversight.

With my being married to Ed, a funeral director and owner of the Cieslak & Tatko Funeral Home, Inc., for over 45 years I understand the commitment in helping a bereft family navigate the emotions and difficult decisions. I know the time and love it takes to do it proudly and properly. Pittsburgh Cremations & Funeral Care provided me with everything needed to make the final journey of my loved one special. We were allowed to make the day of viewing a true celebration of a life well lived, as witnessed by family and friends. My husband was dedicated to his family business and I know he would have been pleased and approved of the handling of his final journey. With much heartfelt thanks, Donna J. Tatko

Well, I was wrong.The owner, Danielle, does not know the laws r/t POA and legal decision-making which cost my loved one's estate thousands of dollars in attorney's fees. She also made changes to the obituary at the request of an individual who did not have the authority to make any decisions. Not only did Danielle change the obituary without my approval, she didn't even have the courtesy to let me know that she made changes. The owner was unprofessional and refused to do the right thing for my loved one who ended up spending 21 days in their care because she refused to "get involved." She had no problem taking my loved one's money. Shameful behavior from a so called "professional" who cares about the people she supposedly cares for in the end. Would never recommend this funeral home to anyone even as a last resort.

We just held my beloved grandfather's funeral at Maloy-Schleifer and had a wonderfully positive…read moreexperience. My grandfather passed away relatively quickly, and we hadn't put much thought into a funeral before meeting with Bill after my grandfather passed. Bill and his son Billy are kind, thoughtful, organized, transparent, patient, and prepared -- all of which came in handy as our family was just trying to keep our heads on straight and sort out how to proceed. As genuine, kind, and caring people, the Schleifers are perfect for the line of work that they're in. Their memory for details is impeccable, and they took all the time we needed to chat about whatever topic was at hand. Although they deal with death all the time, they aren't hardened to it - they poured out an incredible amount of care and compassion to our family and friends, and were unfailingly giving, kind, and helpful. The fact that they can do this time and again for each family, for decades, speaks to theIr skill and the strength of the family's character. I was impressed by how modern their operations are. Their reputation in the community is strong, and rightfully so. Given that, they could certainly just deliver the same kinds of services that they have for decades, without changing much, and be perfectly fine. Instead, it's clear that Bill and Billy invest a lot of time and energy to be sure what they offer is competitive, modern, and the best of the best. They aren't content to just coast along on the strength of their good reputation; they earn that reputation again with each service they provide. Their website has beautifully modern personalized obituaries, tribute options, and integrations with florists so that friends and family were able to easily send arrangements to the funeral home. Bill also told us about things he'd learned from others and read in his trade association's newsletter around coronavirus (more on that below). They've won awards and distinctions for their work, and it was clear to me that they have their finger on the pulse of good new innovations in the industry. The team runs a flawless operation. Their turnaround time for everything was amazingly fast, yet we never felt rushed through anything. And although I'm sure their core processes are the same for each funeral, they were able to incorporate an exceptional amount of personalization so that we could have the service and experience we desired. The Schleifers quickly and capably organized an amazing, perfect funeral that made our hearts feel full. Since we had a funeral in mid-2020 and hadn't been to any services since coronavirus, we had some questions about how that would affect our plans. We're extremely conservative with our approach to the virus, but felt we should leave our "bubble" for the first time to have a small gathering. We didn't know what to expect before we met with the Schleifers, but once we did, we were instantly reassured by all the thought they've put into their coronavirus response: - The funeral home was spotlessly clean (as always) - The guest book table and other areas were all thoughtfully stocked with sanitizer, clean pens (and a spot for used pens), single-use materials, etc. Everything was frequently cleaned. - The visitation rooms had HEPA air purifiers and great overall HVAC ventilation - Local rules around capacity and mask-wearing were enforced - The services were live-streamed for those unable to attend in person I have high standards and can be a stickler for details. I plan, research, and notice a lot, and when it came to my grandfather's care these past several months, I've stopped at nothing to ensure he had the best of everything. I was absolutely blown away by how much the Maloy-Schleifer team did, all within 3 short days of planning. Not only did they do an amazing job with all we expected, they thought of countless other things we hadn't, and not a single thing was wrong or overlooked. I learned just how much goes into a good funeral, and they executed each piece amazingly. Bill also provided helpful, independently-written materials on what comes next in grieving and winding down an estate, as well as personalized materials that recapped our day at the funeral home and remembered my grandfather. They really thought of everything. Bill's personal, thoughtful, independent, concierge-style services go above and beyond what I would expect, and are truly unparalleled. If you're in need of a funeral home, stop reading and go give the Schleifers a call. You'll be glad that you and your loved one are in such good hands. I trust them fully and can't imagine going anywhere else in the future. Their prices seem very competitive, and feel like a bargain when I look at how much they did for us. Most of all, the Schleifers' skill and compassion brought us peace and provided a perfect send-off for my grandfather, and for that, we can't thank them enough.
