My mother suffered a wrongful death, a very traumatic event. I had to come from out-of-town and quickly make funeral arrangements. Start to finish Penwell-Gabel was fantastic to deal with. I worked with Paige. She was kind, compassionate, helpful, and extremely patient. Despite choosing to have a memorial service at another place, she assisted me and produced all the cards and memory book needed. She was truly wonderful and eased my anxiety and grief during a very difficult time.

Reviews
When my adult son died in a fatal car accident I was very distraught. As a parent, you never plan to bury your child. I called another funeral home but they never answered or even got back to me. Penwell Gabel not only answered the phone on a Sunday but got in touch with a live person to calm me down and help me with all the steps needed in planning a funeral. Never at any time were they pushy or trying to get me to spend more money on extra things. There were many options and I was able to plan a funeral that I could afford on my budget. Everyone at the funeral home was very nice and helpful.
I would highly recommend Penwell-Gabel for any of your funeral or cremation needs. John Frownfelter was a tremendous help to our family. He was very caring and very attentive to our needs. He made us feel comfortable and that we could trust him in a time when we needed it.
