We have had to use them 2 times in just a year apart and in the difficult time they were very comforting. I would definitely recommend them to everyone. There is not one of them that didn't go above and beyond for us. If you want your loved one in the best place that will truly treat them as if it were there family then this is definitely the place you want them to be at.

Charged over $2,000 for simple cremation and for shipping ashes across country--no service--for…read morerelative who lived nearby. The owner told me the cost was so high because cremations cost different amounts in different areas. He gave me a real estate analogy, which didn't make any sense as real estate prices are dependent on supply and demand. The funeral industry is not. Point is, he was condescending. $2,000 is the average rate in Niles? National average is half that. Here, it's a third. Turns out she was already cremated when we talked, he neglected to tell me that. I had questions regarding timeline and paperwork. Over the phone, he did not seem happy to answer questions. He kept interrupting. He accused me of being "nasty," and then asked, "when was the last time you came to see your relative." Wow. He has no idea any of the circumstances. Then he stated, "The nursing home told me she had no visitors for a year and a half." The fact is she was in the nursing home 6 weeks. He said, "Well, who put her there?" She did, that's who. Again, wow. The insinuation was "nasty," to use his words. He's in sales with grieving people for customers. They were quick about mailing the remains. He also had all the information about her bank account and why she didn't qualify for Medicaid. Wow. Unfortunately, I have had a lot of experience with funerals and cremations lately, but never one this horrible, or this expensive. If you have a choice I'd recommend you chose somewhere else.

I went to a visitation 03/14/2018 and asked why they didn't move the register (the book you sign)…read morefurther away from the front door as there was 20-30 people waiting outside to get in (my wait time to get in the front door was 15 minutes). I was told it has always been in that location and nothing could be done. The temperature was upper 30's and people came dressed and no coats, I also found many places the register could have been moved to allow all the people to get inside. I asked to talk to the director (I think was the owner) and when I suggested moving the register I was told "If I didn't like it go some other place!" Then he walked toward me and said "Get out of my way!" and when I asked if he was serious he said "Yes (continued to walk toward me) get out of my way, get out of the funeral home!" There was no respect for me or the other people that had to wait outside, he didn't care. I would never recommend this business for anything!

In the past 8 years, we have always received a letter in the mail, or it was printed in the news paper and then there were signage put up on McKinley Highway as well as Jefferson stating cemetery cleanup and when it is... This year there was no letter and no signage and to our amazement the cemetery has been cleaned... The dumpster is full of everybody's flowers and decorations... No notice given... going into the cemetery, in very small print, it gives the clean up days....but for someone with poor eyesight, they'd never see it... We lost a $100 solar light from Eternal Lighting Company, a couple other statues and figurines, and then five other solar lights that we had on some other family members graves as well... I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CEMETERY!!! They are crooks!!

Unfortunately, my family had to use Kaniewski for funeral arrangements…read more Mike helped us arrange everything and was a great person to contact with questions about the process. They made everything so easy during this rough time. The facilities were nice and they added included many services to make the entire process stress free. We were really surprised to find out they were going to deliver the remaining plants and photos from the visitation. When you're going through a time of loss, you really appreciate that you don't have to think of the small details.

Their services were professional and prompt, and their prices were reasonable. They do all the Holy Cross funerals for Notre Dame. If they are good enough for ND, they are good enough for everyone!

My father purchased a prepaid plan back in 2004. He passed away suddenly in 2015…read more The staff was very cold. I went in several times to go over the details as my dad was a stage 4 cancer patient at the time, and was only given weeks to live. Every question I had was treated as an inconvenience. Only "certain" people could help you if you walked in. They disregarded several of my requests. They think they have the monopoly on the Catholics on the West and South sides of South Bend. More, on prepaid arrangements, you are a thorn in their side. I took a year to think before I wrote this review. It wasn't done on raw emotion.
