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.

It was because of this, I chose Strunk Funeral Home for the arrangements when my wife recently died, and I could not have been more than satisfied and comforted during the days following her passing. Chip not only attended to every detail with professionalism, but compassion as well. He noted every detail we discussed and even assisted me, as the surviving spousewith insurance and pension issues as well as the surviving spouse after her funeral. Don't hesitate to contact either Chip or Stephanie when you are faced with one of life's most daunting challenges.

Strunk has handled all arrangements for my parents and other relatives, from the first steps through guidance with follow up filings/needs, and we never had a slip up or issue. I wish other companies ran this smoothly,

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.
