In what was the most gut wrenching, difficult time of my life, Ben could not have been kinder or more helpful in helping us navigate the steps needed to see her to say goodbye and have her cremated in order to bring her home as quickly as possible. He took great care of us and of my daughter's remains.“

“Our family cannot say enough about the services of this funeral home. We have been treated like family, going through the process of saying goodbye to our mother. Everyone that has helped us has been compassionate, explained every step of the process and kept us informed. We would especially like to recognize Jeff Hogan, Ashley Menser, and Tracey in Avon Lake who showed such love and grace to all of us. We are incredibly thankful for your services during our time of grief and know each of you are in the roles you should be. It takes a special kind of person to do what you do, and we appreciate you.“

“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.“

“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.
