My family is eastern European and we have always chosen Holowchak Funeral Home due to their vast experience in accommodating Ukrainian Catholic funerals and their expertise of observing the Byzantine-Slav tradition. Like his father Peter had done previously with my grandma (Baba) and my Uncle's service; Adam, with the utmost professionalism, took care of every detail with the arrangements of my father's passing and did so in such a kind, personable and family oriented manner.
Adam's guided support through every step in the entire process provided my family the comfort and stability that was needed during this emotionally difficult time. Adam was always responsive and followed through with everything we asked for and orchestrated a heartfelt, beautiful and dignified funeral service.
Adam always showed awareness of the budget and never pushed anything and did everything we asked. Above all, he provided a ceremonial funeral in honor of my father and with the awareness of customs, routines & sacraments in a dignified and traditional way. Adam also without question, brought in multiple caskets as my mom was a bit indecisive and very choosy about which casket she finally chose.
Adam was unwavering in his assistance and provided whatever we asked and went well above and beyond what can be expected. My father also looked healthier for the viewing than he was at the time of passing, as his cheeks had to be filled in and the end result was much more of how we remember him.
I would highly recommend Holowchak Funeral Home, especially if you're Ukrainian or Eastern European, as my father was born in Slovakia. The Holowchak's truly adhere to and understand the heritage, customs, rituals and practices of the Byzantine-Slav tradition and provide a very caring, understanding, compassionate, professional & family oriented funeral service. read more
