Jay had coordinated the funeral with us, and made sure to be there every step of the way. He comforted us when needed and made sure we had everything we needed. On the day of the funeral we had Jamie Connell with us. He was amazing! He made sure everything went smoothly and was constantly checking in on us. If we were lost on anything he was there to guide us. They provided the shoulder to cry on. We valued the time they took with us during this hard time and we will be forever thankful for their service to our family.

He took the time to listen and create the most beautiful memorial we could have imagined. Everything was perfect from the flowers to the slideshow. The military honors he arranged were done right in front on the lawn and it was one of the most moving things I've experienced. Justin arranged for them not only to play "Taps," but also to play my dad's favorite song, "Amazing Grace" and "Wild Blue Yonder" since he was in the Air Force. Justin took care of every detail and is even helping us navigate the process that comes after all of the services are done. The facility itself is stunning and the feeling of warmth and comfort it offers is unmatched. I highly recommend their services. They will be the only funeral home for our family's needs.

Pearson has taken care of funeral arrangements for four of our loved ones: two aunts, an uncle, and…read morenow my beloved father in January, 2022. We contacted Pearson's despite the fact that my Dad was living in New Jersey at the time of his passing, because of the beautiful job they did with my aunt's funeral in 2010. Twelve years later, despite many complications due to COVID, Jane and her team did an even more beautiful job coordinating services for us. They navigated and overcame hurdles like the closing of our church for electrical work and a lack of available workers to open up the grave site, allowing us to focus on other things and mourn our loss. Dad looked so wonderful and peaceful, and everything from the set up of the room with his memorabilia to live streaming of the services was taken care of at our request. I am so grateful to Pearson's, and while I hope it's a long time before I need their services again, I know I can trust them to get everything perfect when I do. Thank you all.

Burying you loved one is never easy. The funeral home should be there to help plan things and ease…read moreyour burden. Pearson's caused me extra stress and were a detriment to planning the memorial for my father. Per my father's wishes, we had a small private funeral for my father with a memorial about a month later. Since I live the closest, dealing with the funeral arrangements primarily fell on me & my husband. You already know that it's going to be difficult to say good bye and see your beloved father at the viewing. Add to that finding the clothes he DIED IN left in a folded pile next to the casket! Luckily, my husband and I were the first people in the room. We quickly disappeared the clothes to our car's trunk, before my aunt & other relatives could see them. They didn't even give us something to carry the clothes in, despite my having brought his funeral clothes on multiple hangers with a bag for his shoes & unmentionables. As for the memorial which was part of the plan I signed for, they were completely detrimental to planning it. I REALLY needed help planning the memorial, because I was falling apart with grief. Pearson's made it 10x worse by saying they would help coordinate with the church, but never actually contacting the church about the service. My family & I planned it all, very last minute & so stressful. Then we find out two days before the service, that they were planning to send staff to the memorial - without having ever having communicated that previously & to do jobs that I had already asked friends to take care of. Obviously, I told them not to bother sending their staff. Pearson's did remove the memorial fees from my bill. I would much rather have paid the fee in return for the assistance I needed. I would not recommend them to anyone.

NEVER AGAIN will I use Herron funeral home. So on January 19th 2025 my mother passed. Herron…read moreFuneral home ended up with her body. Because of her passing bills were very tight. She was in the funeral home for 3 days when we found out where she was. She had a life insurance policy for $5,000, that was to pay for her cremation. My father who was very ill and myself were told we had 5 days to come up with $500 or my mother would be treated as an unclaimed body. Thanks to them and their inconsiderate selves, THEY SAID SHE WAS AN UNCLAIMED BODY. To this day, I refuse to pay them for services, when they ripped us off, and did something with her remains. Neither Northampton County or Lehigh County can locate her. And whenever I call to try and get information Dimitri (funeral home director) ends up yelling at me. They tried to charge me $250 for a single death certificate. They are $20 at Vital Records.. He said it was a $225 processing fee. FUCK YOU HERRON FUNERAL HOME. INCONSIDERATE, MONEY HUNGRY ASSHOLES.

The gentlemen run this service like clockwork, thinking of any and all aspects that might allude you in the season of life.

For us they guided our family through the process with grace and humor. The only downside (if I had to mention it and WE DID) was the hideous matching February ties! Seriously David, get that together... :) But honestly; David, Chad, and crew could not have been kinder & funnier. We are forever grateful as a family!

As a native of Emmaus, I have been to more funerals at Schantz Funeral Home than I can count. I always appreciated that for every one, there were "senior" Emmaus natives who I recognized from my dad's generation guiding the many guests and managing the parking and processionals to the cemetery with such kindness and solitude. I appreciate the legacy and tradition of the Schantz family that Dustin embraced and continues for this Emmaus community as the "home" to go to, without question, when a loved one passes.

This week was the third funeral that Schantz handled for us, and it was perfect. I always worry that all businesses lose their luster as time goes on, but not the case here.

Dustin is an expert at what he does and helped us arrange a wonderful service. We are very grateful. Thank you all so much.
