Funeral Services And Cemeteries near Whitehall

“Jay Gilbert and his staff, did an amazing job for my wife's mother. They were professional as expected but they also went the extra yard. They worked with us on pricing, and delivered on every promise. They went over and above to make sure that they met the expectations of our family. On one of the coldest days of the year, they set up a backdrop at the cemetery to block the wind and handed out blankets... allowing the sun to reign supreme, overcoming everyone's fear of freezing during the final ceremony at the gravesite. Jay and Susan were great communicators prior to the viewing and funeral. They prepared us well, and allowed us to achieve a most beautiful day with the aid of Joan and Fr Joe from St Elizabeth's Parish. We were blessed to have such wonderful support to turn a potentially difficult day into a beautiful celebration. We proudly recommend Gilbert's Funeral Home in Whitehall PA. They are a class organization.

Sincerely, Dave Wetzel/on behalf of the Tauber Family“

“Nicos was very patient, and worked with me every step of the way through the entire cremation process. I have used him twice now
He was very accommodating to all of my needs and was there to answer all of my questions. I recommend Nicos C. Elias to everyone I know. Both times I used their services it was A plus service.“

“I can’t say enough about the amazing people at Bensing Funeral Home. John led me through the entire process of dealing with a loved ones passing. And there is a lot of decisions to be made. He is very thorough and has all the information to help through the process of planning a funeral. It’s so important to have the help you need at such an overwhelming time in your life. And that help for me was John. I can’t thank him and the entire staff enough for being so kind, helpful, and compassionate.“

“My sisters and I have nothing but praises for Sonya Siegfried and the staff at Cantelmi-Long on how they handled our Father's funeral arrangements. Sonya walked us through every step in the process, gave us suggestions, and showed us all the options. She explained all the expenses and when our plans changed from the original insurance policy, she went through the new costs (which were lower). We received the refund in a week. I would highly recommend Cantelmi-Long Funeral Home to anyone going through such a tough experience as a loss of a loved one. Thank you very much.“

“I truly recommend James Funeral Home. Louis was absolutely amazing he went above and beyond. Louis is very helpful in every way possible. Mom's service was beautiful“

“I highly recommend Pearson Funeral Home. Jane was so very kind, patient & sympathetic; she lightened the burden of planning tremendously. Leah was available to make sure all the details were perfect, and on the day of the service Jim was irreplaceable. He made sure everything was taken care of, enabling me to focus on saying goodbye to my mother and be wholly present with my family. Thank you, Pearson Funeral Home, for gracefully supporting me & my family on one of the most difficult days of my life.Lizette V.“

“Over the years, Heintzelman has been incredibly community minded. They, like many other fire houses or funeral homes in the past, still lend out chairs to local community members. We are always careful to return them in the condition they were lent to us. Whenever people ask about Funeral services we always refer them, and tell others about how Heintzelman has historically treated the community and put their neighbors first. Who wouldn't want this family and community oriented business to care for their own families in times of need. Thanks!“

“On behalf of my mom & myself, we are extremely happy with the outcome of my dads' service / his last farewell ??⚰???. Their entire team is wonderful; from the owner, everyone in between, to their secretary personnel. The funeral home in itself is not creepy like most and has beautifully decorated areas throughout & different viewing room options. John made this difficult process little more bearable and explained everything in such detail, which is beyond important for someone dealing with all of this for the very first time. He is patient, kind, soft spoken, extremely knowledgeable, caring & by the end of the planning week, felt like a family member. Michael was also very helpful to me in regards to creating an obituary, in such a short time. Another employee that deserves all the praises is Vernon. Thanks to him, my last mental images of my dad could not have been executed any better. It also meant a lot to me when he mentioned that my dad was a nice looking man & that he would make him look good; that just really stuck with me. We would recommend their services to anyone (and that says a lot, coming from Eastern Europeans that seek perfection in all scenarios). Thanks again! ?“

“Mr. Kulik and staff handled our father's funeral in 1992 and also our mother's funeral this week. Our most sincere appreciation for the care this team gave us back then and now.“

“Following the unexpected death of my mother, and being new to the area, I was forced to find a funeral home in a matter of hours. I asked friends for recommendations and I heard the name Heintzelman-Stephens over and over. So glad I listened!. From the first phone call with them, all the way through to my last goodbye with my mom, I was completely impressed with the staff and their professionalism. Rodney Koch, the supervisor, was our first point of contact. He went above and beyond for our family. His dedication to his profession is evident and I’m so thankful for the respect he showed for my mom. I cannot recommend them enough!“

“Matt was so patient and caring to our family during the pre-planning of my mother's funeral and again during the actual funeral. He also had amazing suggestions for everything from florists to caterers to lawyers. Additionally, his staff was wonderful and so professional. High recommend them.“

“Tim was so thoughtful and helpful when planning for mom's funeral. He also spent time talking to me to provide helpful words of wisdom about grief when I picked up mom's ashes. We are thankful!“

“Molly in the office was excellent when I visited and found my family’s graves buried under a fallen tree in April 2025. I think a new company has taken over recently so the staff had not been around too long. She came to the site with me, called the manager and maintenance lead and they took my concerns seriously and fixed the situation as quickly as possible. Molly stayed in touch with me and reported the progress regularly and sent pictures. They did a good job fixing the situation and making it right and restoring dignity to the gravesites. It is so upsetting seeing a loved ones grave in disrepair and they were responsive when I brought it to their attention. Molly performed above and beyond my expectations and put me at ease because she did communicate so well and quickly.“

“During our unexpected loss, David Boyko was very kind and helpful. We're not local so we needed all the help we could get.“
