An old friend of mine is buried here. I came today to pay some respect on Mother's Day…read more Since Mother's Day was coming up they made sure everything was looking nice. The grass was freshly cut and all the old flowers were removed. The headstones are spread not jammed together, which is nice. The staff was very nice and helpful. One of them wished me a "Happy Mother's Day" on my way out. This cemetery is actually great for people who love history. For example, it is over 100 years old and contains the headstones of many people from the 1800's. The 8 sections of the cemetery are named after 8 prominent people from Reconstruction. A few famous people are buried here including James Bland. They also offer dove ceremonies after burials.

After my latest experience with this funeral home, I felt I had to write a review…read more My father's cemation service was Feb 5, 2015. We paid for the urn, the niche as well as the processing fee to open and close the niche after urn placement. My brother and I attempted to visit our father on Father's day June 21, 2015 and to our dismay, we could not find our father. This baffled us because we had paid everything in full. We contact the furneral home office on Father's Day but they had gone for the day. The answering service was able to reach Kevin McCormick, who we spoke to back in February to make urn/niche arrangements. He did not remember us but said that he'd look into the matter the next day. It started to get later in the day (and seeing how they close at 2pm), I faxed a copy of the invoice where we paid for all services upfront along with a note advising our father was not in the memorial in the niche we paid for. At 3:43pm, Kevin calls advising the urn was not placed in the niche because he was waiting to hear back from my brother on scheduling the urn ceremony and to sign a permit??? My brother and I indicated we did not need an urn ceremy and urn shoudl be placed in the niche. Kevin advised his notes did not reflect that. So guests who are greiving from a death should check his notes to ensure he's writing down the correct information? After further questions to Kevin about this "urn scheduling" i was told that the urn scheduling can only be done during the week between 9 and 2pm as thats what we paid for and they need 2 days notice. When was that communicated back in February? Nope because we told Kevin that we did not want an urn ceremony. My issue: Where was the follow up from the funeral home to my brother or myself about this "urn scheduling" especially since full payment was made and all services were not rendered? Here we are some 4+ months later and now we're told about scheduling an urn ceremony??? I feel like Kevin McCormick was not empathetic about what has occurred (or what did not occur). It's really sad when people are not accountable for their failed actions and then make you think it's your fault.

My father was in hospice care recently.   I decided to be proactive and reach out to the funeral…read morehome on behalf of my mother, to get an idea of what was available to fulfill my parents wishes.   My family had used Lambie Funeral Home 3 times prior for two of my great uncles and my grandmother.  The last time was about 10 years ago. After emailing them, I received a phone call from David Lambie to talk to me personally about what we were looking for (cremation,  memorial service,  live streaming,  death certificates,  social security and Medicare notifications, paperwork to fly the ashes internationally)and the costs.    David was kind and caring.  He took his time and explained the processes, step by step.     A week and a half later, my father passed away. I called David just after midnight.  He was there within half an hour to pick up my dad.      The next day, we met with David and worked out the obituary and the rest of the arrangements.   He listened to us, and he made thoughtful suggestions.  Over the next few days, he was patient and attentive as we edited the obituary   and memorial cards several times.  He added and edited our picture montage several times as well.  He was always patient, and kind and sympathetic. He and his lovely wife, Dana, recommended several restaurants for our post memorial reception.    On the day of the Celebration of Life he had someone in the parking lot upon our arrival, ready to help us bring in our pictures, photo albums,  and other props. From the moment we walked in the door, David was there and ready to help us set up our memory vignettes.  My dad had multiple businesses throughout his life and we set up stations that payed homage to his entrepreneurial endeavors.      David went above and beyond.  We had family across the country who were not able to fly in for the services. David started the live feed an hour early so our family members could watch the reception before the services and eulogies started.      The services and eulogies were heart warming and stirring.   At the end of everything,  we had so many people approach us and compliment us on the best funeral that they had ever attended.   I don't know about you,  but I've never been to a funeral that was such a stand out,  that I wanted to remark about it to the family.  We heard it over and over again.   This was all made possible by David & Dana Lambie.    When we were leaving,  David & Dana had everything ready for us.  They had a flash drive of the services, the guest book, the framed picture of my father from the memorial service, and the paperwork we would need to transport the ashes internationally.        They were thorough and efficient, warm and caring.  I can't say enough wonderful things about them.   I would recommend them highly.   They are professional,  effective,  compassionate and a credit to their profession.  When you need funeral services,  know that these people will handle every detail with the utmost care.   David and Dana Lambie are absolutely fantastic!

Money was limited, and I feel that as a result of that, they limited their professionalism. Folks in their 80's set aside money years ago, when $5000. bought a great service, but now that amount limits options. They wanted a 15 minute viewing, same day as burial. We had to fight to extend it to a hour. There was no guest book, (extra). The decor looked like a yard sale exploded inside the place. Guests had to ask repeatedly for "Funeral" Flags for the cars. The body was picked up 2 blocks from the home, the cemetery is only a few miles from the home and it was held on a Saturday during the Philadelphia Bike Race, a few feet from the festivities, so, it was not a high demand time for them. It was basically a family gathering to say goodbye to a life long lived and we felt as if we were bothering them because it was not a more expensive funeral. As a small businesswoman, I value all customers and every sale. I felt Fitzpatrick, does not. Spending less is not a crime or something to be ashamed of. Tsk tsk.

Within a day or two, after I had made the arrangements and left, John contacted me because I had left a ring on my mother's finger, and he asked me if I wanted it. Also, my requests around the ashes were a bit unusual and he was able to make sure everything I wished for was accomplished. Now, a year later, I have received a lovely card recognizing the one year anniversary of my loss. I am so touched this funeral home's sensitivity and kindness. I can't recommend them enough!
