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!

Strano & Feeley Family Funeral Home

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.

My husband and I travel so ensuring either one of us could be returned home if we passed while on a trip was of great concern. We are also wanting to prearrange cremation services so our children don't have to figure out what to do when the eventual happens. Neither of us are sure if we want our ashes scattered or placed at a cemetery. In speaking with funeral homes, it became clear that each of these services can be purchased individually or combined in packages which is reflected in cost. My goal is to minimize cost with Away from Home and direct cremation now and decide on if we want a cemetery location later. I found DFS Memorials in my search and spoke with Sara who was very helpful. We initially spoke about Away From Home policy and moved to direct cremations services via email. Because of my research, it was clear that DFS is a legit company working in companion with funeral homes yet offering Away From Home independently versus combined with direct cremation and burial services. She researched the least expensive direct cremation services in my area that met my criteria (transferable if I moved in the US). Because of her and the help she provided, I now have decided what to do and have the peace of mind that my kids will not have to worry about what to do when I pass. Thank you Sara for your help. You made a big difference in my end of life planning experience!

This is the first time I have ever written a Yelp review - but I felt strongly that I should do so…read more It has been well over a year since my Mom passed away. You may wonder why I would wait so long, but the death of a beloved family member can be such a painful process and a memory that many do not want to revisit. Yet, I have found myself so very grateful for the kind and experienced advice I received from DFS Memorials through one of the toughest times in my life. I was going through some papers and files and I was actually able to look at those moments with some happiness and relief, knowing that I gave my mother a lovely burial with a very limited budget. I'm so thankful for the advice and how quickly they responded to all my questions. They gave me options I didn't even think about. When I went to the onsite cemetery office, where my family members are buried in Virginia Beach, the quotes they gave me for her cremation, an urn and burial were absolutely shocking. There were so many charges. The same happened at our local funeral home (Hollomon Brown) where my father, brother, grandparents services were held. I left both places feeling devastated and shaken. Luckily I remembered a friend that had told me about this company. I immediately called the main number and Sara walked me through the whole process. She couldn't have been more patient and professional. She put me in touch with Steve, the local representative in the Virginia Beach area. He was a great communicator and he promptly returned my calls providing me with information. This was such a relief, because I had to do everything very quickly. Also, this happened over Easter weekend and there were a lot of burials taking place over the next few days. He was incredibly professional and explained how I would be able to arrange for my mom's cremation, they would find the crematorium for me, arrange the visitation at the funeral home for relatives, help me select the urn and other needed materials required by the cemetery and even the licensed undertaker to oversee the graveside burial. (This is a requirement by many cemeteries and this one tried to overcharge me for that, as well.) All total, I saved well over 50% off the total costs. The photo attached is the beautiful marble urn I ordered through DFS and they had many selections to choose from. The cemetery wanted to charge me 4x the price! The urn was so beautiful, made of a very heavy cobalt blue marble. It was lovely. I cannot thank this company enough for helping me through everything and making a very sad event in my life something I could look back on with some happiness of knowing I provided a beautiful burial and goodbye to my beloved mom. And that is why I decide to write this review. It is my hope someone reading this, will write down this information and keep it with their important papers, so when the unthinkable happens, or if you know of someone that may need help, you can feel assured they will be well taken care of, the same way I was. I am truly grateful. Thank you, Sara, Nic and Steven.

The team arrived on time and immediately got to work, moving efficiently while still being incredibly thorough. They cleaned areas that are often skipped, including baseboards, trim, and hard-to-reach corners, and treated the home with real care. I also have a cat, so pet hair and stray litter can be a challenge, but they handled it without issue. Floors, corners, and high-traffic areas looked noticeably better, and the space felt truly clean--not just surface-level tidy. They worked steadily the entire time they were at my home. Olga actually called me with an updated quote after the team felt more time was needed to finish the job. Communication was appreciated and given the thorough effort and quality of their teamwork, pricing is fair. For anyone in Wilmington, DE, Olga's Cleaning Services is a fantastic choice.

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.

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.

I just attended a viewing on a very cold night and saw the same care given once again....... we waited outside in line with heaters, hot beverages and goodies. The caring and services offered doesn't end when your loved one's funeral is over. Grieco Family Funeral Home offers a Grief Journey Workshop, all are welcome. Another beautiful gesture is the Service of Remembrance; once again, open to all who wish to attend. My first attendance to this service was with a dear friend who also lost her husband. We both left with a new feeling after a wonderfully planned night where we listened to a guest speaker, were entertained by wonderful musicians, enjoyed delicious food, shared memories, laughter and tears with others in the same situation. My next step that I will lean on them for is to assist me with a grave monument. Unlike lots of other companies that offer this service, Grieco Family Funeral Home has never pressured me; only offered to be of service when I'm ready for this next stage. Matt Grieco and his staff are an amazing group of people to have for support during and after a very trying time. I highly recommend Grieco Family Funeral Home to help you get through this very hard road that we must travel. Lois Zunino
