Words can not express the gratitude that my family and I have for how Chris Stone and his staff…read morehandled all of the arrangements for my father's viewing and funeral service. He paid attention to every detail and the event was absolutely beautiful! We could not be happier with the outcome! Each time we had a question, he had already thought about it and handled it. He was literally 20 steps ahead of everything. We thank the team for making sure that my father received his military recognition. What a beautiful and honorable ending to the celebration of his life. I know that he would have been so proud. Having to bury your loved one is such an emotional time for families and close friends. It is hard to continue to do daily tasks, yet alone plan a funeral. He took away the burden of having to think about the details and allowed my family and I to grieve but, still enjoy the ceremonies. We knew that he was on it and we didn't have to worry. This is a gift that he gives to families that seek funeral services and we are truly grateful.

Whiting's Funeral Home took amazing care of us from start to finish. We were expecting a cumbersome and difficult process and we got none of that. Whiting's was engaged with us from start to finish. As soon as we notified them that our loved one passed, they were able to connect with emergency personnel to ensure that our love one was brought into their care. They not only knew what to do, but knew how to treat us as a family. Chris was absolutely amazing, he was compassionate, caring, and as we requested was diligent in the process so our heartache was not prolonged. Our family member was a veteran, so those arrangements were coordinated. So we were able to honor our father with a military salute at the funeral, as he deserved. Our loss occurred during COVID, so we were able to celebrate our father's life outdoors and it was absolutely a beautiful ceremony. Chris kept us informed, asked us questions about what we wanted from the program, to the music, to attendees. Again, losing a love one is a terrible thing, but having a funeral home that allows you to feel comfortable, is patient, is supportive and helpful, provides guidance, and makes you feel like family made the process smooth and effortless on our end. I would recommend Whiting's and Chris was fantastic, he helped us through a difficult time and made a process that could have been extremely mentally and emotionally draining, one that I can say made our family more at peace with our loss during such a hard time.

My brother in law passed away recently unexpectedly.

Today was the day, after driving down from Bucks County on Thursday. It was very hard to find and follow the directions on the alumni website, but I stopped a Campus Police Officer and asked for help. He offered to have us drive behind him and take us to the spot. Above and beyond to be sure. The garden is framed by a low brick wall on one side, with a stunning statue of a large dove on wing arising toward Heaven. It is surrounded by a round flower bed and lower wall where I sat contemplating life and its fragility. This is a perfect spot for the occasion. The alumni association has realized a beautiful way to honor their history and the people who made it. Respect.

They took care of our needs and provided some special little touches for our father's memorial service. I would definitely recommend them to others. Just be ready to negotiate on costs.
