Scanlan's: Where Life is Celebrated
“We chose Scanlan's for my mother's funeral in September 2026 and had an exceptionally positive experience with their services.
My mom lived at the Cedar Crest retirement community only a few miles from Scanlan's. The team at Scanlan's is very familiar with Cedar Crest and did a phenomenal job of guiding our family and planning a beautiful memorial service for her.
Niki, Amanda, and the entire team were empathetic, helpful, and responsive--from the moment we made our midnight call to them to collect my mom from her home after she passed, through the planning of the memorial service and selection of the casket, to accompanying us to the burial ceremony at a cemetery an hour away.
Scanlan's even printed a copy of my memorial speech minutes before I had to deliver it, and brought it to me at the Cedar Crest Chapel so that I didn't need to worry about finding a printer. They helped manage the memorial so that it was logistically seamless and truly a time when the family could focus on celebrating my mom.
Although we didn't hold the memorial service at Scanlan's building, we were very impressed with how nice Scanlan's facilities are. They have a tastefully decorated antique house that's a serene, uplifting, and elegant setting for a memorial service (and that even has a wonderful children's play room).
Scanlan's team was warm and professional throughout the entire process. They even provided an after-care service to make sure that we had help closing accounts, obtaining government and insurance benefits, and handling estate matters. We felt at all times that we were in very good hands and that my mom was well taken care of. We highly recommend Scanlan's and truly appreciate all that they did to make a difficult time much smoother and more peaceful.”
