The funeral I just did was in celebration of a woman who thought men should be clean shaven--Michael, the funeral director, shaved his beard in her honor. This type of gesture happens a lot here. They really become a part of people's stories and lives. That's what happens when you've got a family owned business.

I could write pages about how wonderful Strano & Feeley Family Funeral Home was in caring for my…read morefamily during our time of grief. We physically lost two loved ones, and we would not go to anyone else but Strano & Feeley. The excellent customer service begins with the initial home call, taking possession of the deceased loved one (e.g., at home or hospital), then the intake meeting with the family. The clean calming atmosphere starts outside (e.g., fishpond) then continues inside with comfortable furniture and smiling staff to greet you. No matter which staff you receive for the intake meeting, they all conduct themselves with professionalism, care, and provided clear information on the various options. As a grieving loved one, I'd suggest you come to the table with your grief but an open mind and patience with your loved ones present with you and the staff. What I appreciated was for one loved one- we had all the answers prepared, for the other we were figuring out as we went along- staff provided time and space in the intake meeting for us to calmly figure things out. Having someone take notes in the family to compare with the staff's notes is always useful - they were always on point anyway but it's good to remember what you ordered and they will provide you a folder with information from the initial session as well. Any insurance or cemetery logistics were handled on the phone right away by the staff in the first session - which was amazing to watch them navigate the complex systems of care. We had a loved one cremated and another buried in a nearby state - the funeral home still took care of everything, just be sure to provide your photos, music and obituary timely. Nothing was overly complicated and if it was, they never showed it, just showed up for us in every way - we had no worries. When it was time to collect our loved one's things (e.g. urn or possessions not buried) they provide you with a beautiful bag of memories, some unexpected, that showed more care than we could have imagined. By the end of our grieving season this summer - this had become not only a funeral home but an appendage to our family. The staff will forever be a part of our loved ones' legacy. P.S. I would highly recommend the nearby Atterbury VFW - Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3420 for a repast and their regular caterer Ms. Lori. Everyone was such a blessing and joy to work with, and they took care of absolutely everything including décor and the food was delicious. Thank you to Jamie and the ENTIRE Strano & Feeley team, With Gratitude, The Gillyard Family

She was matter-of-fact, cold, and lacked every ounce of empathy you would expect from someone in this line of work. The entire interaction was substandard from start to finish. They waited until the very last minute to confirm insurance causing services to be pushed back an entire week, stalled on shipping ashes the same day payment was made, and then had the nerve to complain about their staffing shortages like that was my problem. Let me be clear -- when a family is grieving, they don't want excuses, they want compassion and professionalism. I even called and left a message for the owner, and to this day have NEVER received a call back. That alone tells you everything you need to know about how little they value families in their care. The only bright spot was Carl -- the ONLY person at this establishment who acted like he had some sense and helped hold us together during this chaos. Honestly, I wouldn't let them bury my goldfish. You'd be better off buying an acre of land, grabbing a shovel, lighting a bonfire, and burying your loved one yourself. That would be handled with more care than what we experienced here. Do yourself a favor: skip this place. Your loved one deserves way better.

[Disclaimer -- This is a lengthy review, but it cannot be shortened given the quality of service…read morerendered.] The House of Wright delivered a level of care and professionalism that surpassed every expectation. Their compassion and respect created space for mourning that was sacred, seamless, and deeply dignified. From the moment we arrived, the team moved with quiet precision. They anticipated our needs--offering tissues, fanning us as we cried, and gently supporting the casket when I leaned on it in grief. The presentation of our loved one was beautiful. The orchestration of the pallbearers was flawless. Every detail, from subtle gestures to major transitions, was handled with best-in-class excellence. They directed our motorcade from church to final rest without a single disruption. Not one. Their vehicles--spotless and seemingly brand new--reflected extraordinary attention to detail. Our deepest gratitude to Joanne, Hazel, Chris, Keith, and Jordan. Their warmth, grace, and unobtrusive presence allowed us to grieve fully. They did not just serve--they held us. They felt like angels. Even a brief moment of friction during the contract process was resolved with remarkable speed--one call, under 15 minutes, from Brooklyn. That kind of responsiveness speaks volumes about the integrity of this enterprise. The House of Wright is the gold standard in funeral care. Their service is a gift to grieving families, and we are forever grateful. My dear Brother Mr. Wright, your high standards show. You have truly mastered your craft. Respect, Michael Nicholls on behalf of the Nicholls, McClelland, Nicholls-Pierce and Johnson families June 2025

Gracelawn is beautiful. That's simply why we chose to bury our loved ones here. The management team…read morehas not been consistent or considerate when it comes to people visiting their loved ones and bringing flowers, etc. Losing loved ones is hard enough alone. My family has unfortunately buried two people at greacelawn in the past year and let me just say, it's already a difficult time trying to grieve and still go on with life. All while still handling the important things behind the scenes such as choosing a burial place. The last thing I want to do is come visit my loved ones and not see the flowers/vase that we just placed down two days prior gone. We notice some families are treated different, where as they don't have to follow the rules supposedly if they are visiting their loved ones frequently. My husband and myself visit my mother in law and grandmother every week if not twice a week. When we can't make it our Aunt is there. We bring fresh flowers every single week. We have been lied to countless times on why are things keep getting removed. Lisa Dimaio, absolutely unprofessional. How dare you tell someone to come dig their loved ones up? This place has caused us so much extra unwanted and unwarranted stress. Please be mindful, when choosing a place to lay your loved ones to rest. This ain't it!
