The recommended Edward Chomko in Scranton and we were blown away by their professionalism and attentiveness. It is a long running family business and we dealt with Andy. He went so far above and beyond, that it lifted such a huge burden in the midst of our grieving. He not only picked us up at our hotel since our car's " check engine" light was on, he called Geisinger's to make arrangements for us to pick up Aaron's belongings and he drove us there, came in and waited for us to pick them up and he drove us back to the hotel. He made the arrangements so easy and even sat with us when we had to speak to the local bank about closing the account and getting the death certificate over to them. It really restored our faith in humanity seeing how far out of his way Andy went; especially at a time when its hard to think clearly and grieve at the same time. I cannot recommend them enough.

The entire family was appreciative, and my grandmother wanted me to pass along the following: "I want to extend my sincerest thanks for the care and compassion that was exhibited during my husband's funeral.

The Lackawanna County Coroner knew I was from out of town and suggested Miller-Bean to me and I'm so thankful that he did. Carmine was incredibly kind and made this process as easy as it could be. Everything can be done remotely which was the most convenient option for us. It was incredibly easy to communicate with Carmine via email, call, and text. I had fingerprint jewelry with my mom's ashes made and he had them shipped to me once received and ready. I will never forget this experience and I am just so thankful.
