“The process of losing a loved one is something no one is ever truly prepared for—it’s overwhelming, emotional, and incredibly difficult. From the moment we walked into Stellato, we were met with warmth, compassion, and a sense of comfort that felt like family.

A special thank you to Dori, who went above and beyond during such a hard time. Her kindness, patience, and attention to every single detail did not go unnoticed. She guided us through every step with care and understanding, making an incredibly painful process just a little bit easier to navigate.

Not a single detail was missed. Everything was handled with such professionalism and genuine heart. We are truly grateful for the support, compassion, and dignity they showed our family.

We cannot recommend them enough to anyone going through such a difficult time.“

“I cannot say enough about Bizub-Quinlan Funeral Home. When my dad unexpectedly passed away in April 2026, we were completely lost and overwhelmed. Wayne was absolutely incredible, so compassionate, knowledgeable, and understanding in this awful time. They are an honest business and went above and beyond to ensure our memorial was beautiful, honoring exactly my father’s wishes and our family’s. Even after the memorial, they extended their support, offering their services if we ever needed anything else or had any questions during this difficult time. They have cared for my grandfather, my aunt, and now my father, and I trust them wholeheartedly with these precious moments. I am so grateful for their care. We had flowers delivered for the memorial and they took great care of them– even holding them until we could pick them up after the service.“

“My family has hired Shooks for two of our precious family members who passed away in the past few years. Each time was a caring and peaceful experience. I did not assist with planning the funeral, other family members handled that. But all the interactions I had with staff was pleasant. Thank you for taking good care of my family in our time of sorrow.“

“They were very helpful throughout the entire process. Jim helped us write an amazing obituary from just talking to us about our uncle. They even followed up a few weeks after the funeral to see if we needed anything“

“Sgobba did an amazing job cleaning my parents’ badly discolored headstone. I stopped by their office at noon and by 3pm the headstone was restored to new. The headstone was purchased from them 30 years ago and they delivered the same quality, professional service today that they did three decades ago!“

“Exceptionally compassionate and professional service. Totally supportive and transparent. Helped my family navigate through a difficult time. We are thankful for their assistance and would unequivocally recommend them.“

“The funeral director Michelle guided my family through this process with respect and empathy. It’s hard to lose a love one but she made the process easier (if that’s possible). The grounds and parlor were beautiful and plenty of parking. Thank you Mrs Michelle for everything..“

“We recently held my father’s viewing and service at Madison Memorial. Victoria and her staff were outstanding. From start to finish and despite the awful weather everything was perfect. Our family highly recommends Madison Memorial Funeral Home!“

“The staff provided compassionate and professional service during a very difficult time. David and the entire staff were great—kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the process. They assisted my family through three loved ones’ deaths over the past year, and we sincerely appreciate their care.“

“Nick G was so supportive to our family during this difficult time. He handled everything and kept us informed of next steps throughout the process. His compassion, support and knowledge was greatly appreciated. The Levandoski-Grillo funeral home was also beautiful. They even had someone park guest cars during their visit. I dont think we could've asked for a more attentive funeral home staff.“

“It was a beautiful and welcomed experience in the handling all the details, in the sorrowful loss of my husband. At Scanlan’s, with Meghan Owens, being so kind, so professional, taking care of all our needs. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a champion to us, as we grieved.

Scanlan’s is top notch for beauty, light, and peace, along with accommodations for children’s room equipped with games on computers. We loved having coffee within your beautiful appointed room, with the fireplace going. I was so happy that your establishment made it uplifting and very nice, with our sadden hearts.
Thank you Meghan for your help and kindness.“

“During one of the hardest times for our family, Bob and Meg at Prout Funeral Home treated us with warmth, kindness, and professionalism. From the very beginning, they made us feel supported, never pressured, and truly cared for. They were patient, easy to talk to, and helped create a calm and comforting environment for our family.

I had heard from others that planning a funeral can be difficult emotionally and financially, but Prout made the process much easier than we expected. What stood out most was their 1) caring attitude, 2) transparent fees, 3) clear communication, and 4) therapy dog, Morris. One evening, while my daughter and I were working on the obituary page, Meg unexpectedly called us. She was also working late, saw us online, and wanted to personally help guide us through the process. Small acts of kindness like that gave our family a lot of peace of mind during a very stressful time.

The service itself was handled with care, dignity, and attention to detail. They balanced professionalism with genuine compassion in a way that truly honored our loved one’s memory. We even went over our scheduled time by 30 minutes, and they did not charge us extra for it. We are deeply grateful for their guidance, patience, kindness, and integrity“

Thank you!❤

“Had this beautiful monument done recently. Owners Scotty and Dianna were very helpful. They were very easy to work with and my mother’s monument was completed in a timely fashion. They created the monument incorporating my wishes and were very accommodating to changes I made to the design. I live out of state and they were very easy to communicate with either phone, email or text. Hope I don’t need another monument soon but if I did I would certainly use them again. I highly recommend this company for all your monument needs. I have attached a picture of my mother’s monument to emphasize their beautiful work.“

“I would like to thank Toby for all his hard work on getting our death certificates for us. It took such a long time but he worked hard for us with compassion and was patient with us when we were frustrated with how long everything took he was. Excellent place to have you funeral service with. Toby is wonderful ❤“

“? I had to arrange funeral matters from a distance, which made an already heartbreaking situation even more difficult. Thankfully, I was fortunate to have Izabela by my side. She was not only an incredible organizational support but also a true source of emotional strength. She guided me step by step through the entire process, explaining clearly what needed to be done at each stage — it truly felt like being led by the hand through something overwhelming. I wouldn’t wish anyone to be in the situation I was in, but if you ever find yourself in need of funeral services, I wholeheartedly and sincerely recommend Izabela. Her compassion, professionalism, and dedication made a world of difference.? Dziekuje !♥️“

“Ed Shaffery and his staff went above and beyond to meet our needs. It was a very positive experience. They made sure to fulfill the deceased person’s wishes. I can’t thank them enough for their hard work and dedication. Highly recommended!“

“Very beautiful historic cemetery. It's a great place to go for a walk and enjoy the scenery.“

“They are the best. They make Black people look like they are asleep. Five stars aren't enough. They get a hundred stars from me!“
