    Remember man as you pass by, for as you are so once was I, but as I am you'll surely be, so prepare…read morefor death and follow me. I said so long to my mother ten months ago and to my brother yesterday, I'm not sure if this quote is written exactly, but it came to mind and continues to circle through my thoughts. My youngest brother died years ago in a car accident, my mother died due to the negligence of the hospital she was staying in from massive stage 4 and above bedsores, but this brother, "Moose" we called him, had been suffering for years from type 1 diabetes. He's had heart attacks, toes removed, just two weeks ago he had two more removed, numerous eye surgeries, but none of this takes away the shock of getting that phone call. During the wee hours on Monday morning my brother went into renal failure, but only told his wife he was tired, yet restless and just needed to lie back down, by 11:30 in the morning he had passed due to a massive heart attack where his heart had imploded. He and my sister in law were childhood sweethearts and they were also each others best friend. She was used to him sleeping most of the day, for every good day that he had, he had three or four bad ones and the good days were getting further apart. He really took my mother's death hard, he was a great son, brother and friend. The Geisel Funeral Home has been used by my sister in laws family for years and she was comforted in how they came right out to the house and actually arrived before my brother's body had been removed from their home. The next morning the funeral director met with her and arranged for his viewing, final cremation and burial. The funeral home is so large with a large memorial chapel, many sitting rooms and lounges and two parking lots, they also have a huge welcoming lounge with tables set up for food and beverages. The only downfall that I had was they are grossly understaffed, during the three hours that I was there, there was no staff member or director there to answer her questions, if someone was there they were well hidden and the office was wide open. I have never seen a town with so many funeral homes, but Geisel is who my sister in law was familiar with and trusted, they were right there for her when she needed them. My brother Moose was 55, a great guy, the funeral home was over flowing with family, friends and coworkers. His heart was as big as he was, rest in peace Moose and no more bad days...

    I inherited a few plots from my grandmother who is buried here. It's in the higher section of the…read morecemetery & is always kept nice in that area. I didn't want to burden any funeral decisions to my son so I've been working with Forest Lawn's management to handle these. It was an easy process to transfer the plots over to my name. I chose everything I wanted & they set up an easy, affordable, interest-free monthly payment plans for my decisions. I chose the headstones & marble for my husband & I in the first agreement for a 3-year payment plan. After that was paid for, I set up a second 3-year agreement for the urn burial vault & one site-opening charge. Now that one is paid off I'm going to set up the final agreement for the second urn burial vault & any other details I choose to add on. It makes me very happy & at peace finalizing all my arrangements now, at today's prices so my son won't be left with having to do this when the costs are higher in 20+ years or whenever my time is up. I took one star off only because they need to keep the roads in better condition.

    I have seen the other reviews of this cemetery. They are old reviews, and, though I visited it for…read morethe first time only recently, I found it to be very beautiful and well kept. Perhaps there has been a change in management, but the complaints that I have seen in earlier posts seem to have been set straight. A friend of mine recently passed away and is buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Johnstown, and I am grateful for the care the facility has given to my friend's grave and to the rest of the cemetery.

They put the number that they gave my dog on everything. My dog was like a child to me. My dog is not a number. The paw and nose prints were barely there.

She was one strong and independent woman who had the foresight to take care of her own cremation and burial needs. Hindman is a longtime run family business that has their own private crematory. The crematory is used only for the families they serve and they are the only area firm that can guarantee the integrity of the cremation process because your loved one never leaves their care . It's a very long story of how my mother died, but the funeral home staff was more than kind enough to issue me temporary death certificates, so that I could open the estate. We are still waiting for the autopsy results. I did have one problem with them but it could have been a mistake. My brother received a call from one of the staff members saying that the laws had changed since my mom had paid for her complete burial and the cemetery now required the urn to be placed in a vault before it was buried. When my brother Jimmy quoted me the prices of these vaults, I said give me the name and number and I will call him. I spoke with this person and he assured me that a vault was required before the urn could be buried. I asked him for the number of the cemetery, of which I called and they told me there was no such law. I called back this person and told him it will be like this; on Friday morning at 9:00 we will be present when my mothers remains are delivered to the cemetery for her burial. In a way it turned out to be a good thing, because my mom wanted no service or prior viewing, so we were able to do a little family service and burial. She did say that if we wanted a church memorial service, we could do that, of which we did. The funeral home is absolutely gorgeous, enough so that I may one day lie inside, as I do not want to be cremated! I will burn in hell as it is! Even though I live four hours away Hindman impressed me that much with their care.

    It feels a little weird or morbid to review a funeral home, but these guys did such an amazing job…read morewith my friend's mum's memorial service that I had to recognize it. The space was warm and welcoming, and they had a great display set up of photos and mementos of her mum's life. The staff was easily able to accommodate the larger-than-expected crowd that turned up for the service. But what made this such a memorable memorial service was the personalization to our loved one's life. My friend's mum was disabled, and as such, a large portion of her friends and contacts she knew via the internet. The staff at Moskal & Kennedy helped set up a Skype broadcast of the service so that her friends around the world could virtually attend. They were even able to join in and share memories and stories to our group in Johnstown from as far away as Vancouver, the UK, and California. It was unlike any memorial service I've ever attended. Most of all, I know how the staff at Moskal & Kennedy made my friend feel comforted in her time of need. And I'm grateful that they were able to put together such a beautiful send off for a wonderful person.

    Honestly, 5 stars, all the way. I can not say enough about the caring nature of the staff here…read more Yes, it is a business, but they GENUINELY care about people and it shows. Thank you will never be enough for their kindness. Dan specifically handled my sister's funeral and his patience, kindness, and compassion are appreciated beyond words. Additionally, price-wise there is no competition. Thank you again to the staff at Moskal & Kennedy Funeral home you made a very difficult time, a little easier.
