“From start to finish Mark was amazing!! He let me spend time with my son. His understanding of my broken heart...I couldn't ask for a better person to guide us through this difficult time. THANK YOU!!“

“I cannot thank them enough for the care, compassion, and respect they showed during one of the hardest times of my life. Losing my dad John Melvin was incredibly difficult, but they handled everything with such kindness and understanding that it brought me a sense of peace. Every step of the process was handled gently and professionally, but what truly touched my heart was the final thing they did — something so thoughtful and meaningful that it filled me with love and comfort. It felt like they didn’t just see my dad as another person they were caring for, but as someone special who mattered. In a time when my heart was breaking, they gave me a small piece of healing. I’ll always be grateful for the compassion they showed my family and for giving my dad the dignity and care he deserved. ? Kristy Bennett“

“Bill and Lucy are a class act! From beginning to end, they’ve made the process of arranging plans to lay our loved one to rest with compassion, grace, professionalism, and expert level of care. I really appreciate their lighthearted approach that made my mom and I feel so at ease during this difficult time.Lucy took us in for a tour of the funeral home and provided us with a lot of information at a moments notice. Lucy is welcoming, funny, and made my mom and I feel safe and informed about options and pricing. She listens to needs, concerns, and also shared a little of her background that reassured us that we are in good hands. It turns out Lucy is from 4 generations of Funeral Home care, and you could tell with her tactful demeanor. She even shared some anecdotes that explained that there’s no wrong way to do things, and that whatever we wanted was the perfect thing to do. We had it in our minds to tour 3 different funeral homes, but after meeting with Lucy, decided we wanted our loved one in their care and didn’t need to see more places.Misencik is a comfortable place with a sizable visitation room that held a very large number of family and friends. There are other sitting areas as well for those who might have a harder time seeing their passed loved one, but still want to be present. There’s also a small lounge in the front where they had a fresh brewed pot of coffee with all the sweeteners and cream, and a fresh water dispenser. They also keep plenty of tissues throughout which is very helpful.When Bill realized our turnout was bigger than expected, he started bringing out more seating, cracking some jokes to my relatives and bringing smiles.Bill is a rockstar! My mom and I may have been a tad neurotic at times during the planning and leading up to the day, needing to check details to make sure this important event was going to honor our loved one the best way possible. He is very understanding and allowed us the opportunity to check in, in ways that reassured us. Bill was very available and compassionate to our concerns. My mom and I really appreciate Bill’s levity in some instances when we really needed it. Bill and Lucy just have this ability to read people and situations, and knew when humor could be appropriate and that we were receptive to it.Our loved one was prepared and presented respectfully and beautifully. It’s hard to describe, but seeing him so peaceful was a remedy for the unfortunate way he passed. It helped us feel better closure.I couldn’t imagine having a better experience, considering the circumstances. I actually had guests say to me afterwards “this was the best funeral I’ve been to” which might be a bit odd because funerals are not fun. But I’m in complete agreement. My family, friends, and Misencik funeral home really co-created an incredible, sacred, beautiful send off for our loved one that authentically conveyed his funny, loving spirit. I am beyond grateful for my brother to have been in such amazing care.Thank you Bill and Lucy.“

“We appreciate the prompt and professional service of Melissa and staff. They were very helpful in a stressful time.“

“We have used this funeral home for multiple family services over the years, including most recently for my father’s funeral. Vince, the funeral director, is truly one of the most compassionate and attentive professionals I’ve encountered in this industry. He goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is handled, allowing our family the space to grieve without added stress. His communication is clear, timely, and thoughtful, and no task is too small for him to manage.

The service was beautiful, seamless, and truly honored my father’s life. We are so grateful for Vince and the entire team. I highly recommend this funeral home to anyone looking for respectful, professional, and caring service during such a difficult time.“

“I pre-planned my final arrangements at Sunset this past Friday, 6/27/2025. The process was amazingly easy and completely stress free. Laura and Kelsey worked with me to determine exactly what I wanted. I was never pressured and there was no upsell (although I chose the most expensive urn, but that's on me!). The entire process was pleasant (which is not what I expected). Their new building is modern and comfortable. For anyone looking for pre-arrangements, I highly recommend Sunset, and especially Laura and Kelsey.“

“We had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth Gray when our daughter died this last year. She was over and above in accommodating our requests. We had several meetings with her and she was always pleasant and very helpful. She always was more than helpful when it came to customizing services according to our needs. Our family owns several plots and hopefully she will be there to deal with us again if necessary“

“Mr. Reidy walked me very gently and respectfully through the process of creating a beautiful funeral for my mother. His kindness helped me tremendously. He was 100% available to me when I called and needed to come to his office. He treated me as if I was his own family. Everything was perfect. Her make-up and presentation of her in her casket was breathtaking. The amount of time provided for her eulogy and service was not rushed. The amount of time to allow our family to gather didn’t go unnoticed! Everything was EXACTLY as asked. I could never be more grateful. His expertise helped me navigate through the most challenging time for our family. I will never forget him or his kindness. We recommend this funeral home.
