Losing my father was one of the hardest moments of my life, and navigating the arrangements during…read moresuch a difficult time was incredibly overwhelming. Even writing this review is hard for me as this is still so new. That said, I am forever grateful for the compassionate care and professionalism that Gary and the team at Ball Funeral Chapel provided during this process. In terms of service, quality and value you just cannot go wrong trusting your loved one with them. I read some of the poor reviews I DO NOT understand the upset at all. Seriously, he was amazing to us. We wanted someone professional, kind, very upfront in terms of cost and logistics and he was all of it. From the very beginning, Gary's approach was nothing short of exemplary. Unlike some other funeral homes we considered, he never once (not. even. once) tried to upsell us on services or push us into making decisions that weren't aligned with our wishes or our budget. In fact, he made it clear that he was there to guide us, not take advantage of our grief, which meant the world to my family. He was always a phone call or an email away, and he was prompt with purposeful response. He helped us navigate the complex process of dealing with the hospital, the VA, and the many other details that we didn't know how to handle. His support allowed us to focus on healing, rather than getting lost in the logistics of it all. Not to disparage other funeral homes, but they seemed to play on folks emotions by hinting that anything else than the diamond package was a stain on our love and dedication to my Dad. Outrageous! I understand that grief affects everyone differently, but if you're looking for someone who is kind, professional, and truly knows his craft, I wholeheartedly recommend Ball Funeral Chapel. Gary and his wife provided my family with the highest level of care and respect, and we will always be grateful for the peace of mind they gave us during the hardest time in our lives. I encourage anyone who needs these services to turn to them for the support and professionalism that you deserve. Thank you again, Gary, for everything.

I have never felt so alone and scared I am crushed from losing my husband of 56 years. And this person treated me so bad. Now after it was paid on that Wednesday I never got his ashes until Monday. When I had to call and ask for them. I know there had to be a more caring way to tell me what she did. I thought a place owned by woman would be a little bit more compassionate. So if you don't have insurance don't send your loved one there. All they care about is the money well at least that's all Danelle cared about. Once she got the money she tried to be nice to late she took a horrible loss and made it even worse. She made me feel like I just wanted to be gone, I thought I was having a heart attack from crying so hard after the way she talked to me. He's home now I will never recommend this place.

My father passed away in Seattle and wanted to be buried with my mom in Pennsylvania. My father's body had to be flown from a funeral home in Seattle to Pittsburgh but they were delayed in sending his body. The late arrival gave the folks at Corba less than a day to prepare my father for the funeral instead of the 1-1/2 days we planned. I was panicked thinking were going to have to change the funeral date, notify everyone, and re-book our travel. Michele and her teamed worked tirelessly to keep to the original funeral date. Michele was very communicative by phone and email throughout the entire process. She coordinated with the florist, the priest, the cemetery, the US Army (my father was a Veteran) and everything went smoothly. I was incredibly impressed with Michele's compassion and professionalism through the entire process and I am grateful to Corba Funeral Home for helping my family during this difficult time.
