I was recently invited by a family to officiate a Celebration of Life at Nicholas Chomko Funeral Home, and from the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with such warmth and compassion. Deserae, in particular, was incredibly welcoming--not only to me, but to every person who entered. Her kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care for the families she serves truly stood out. The atmosphere was one of calm, dignity, and respect, allowing everyone to focus on honoring their loved one. It was a privilege to be part of such a beautifully supported service. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicholas Chomko Funeral Home to any family in need of thoughtful and professional care during a difficult time.

My brother-in-law Aaron passed away at Geisinger's Medical Center in Scranton on November 2024 and…read moresince we live out of state, we asked the hospital to recommend a funeral home. 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.

Since my sister and I reside outside Pennsylvania we had to rely on input from Google research and input from local residents. In the end we selected the Edward J Chomko Funeral Home. Both Edward and his son Andy went above the call of duty (yes they served our country during war times) to ensure our mom received the much deserved burial. They provided sound advice and direction on coffin selection, processes for obtaining & adhering to state and local documentation requirements. Because of their impeccable service and professionalism my sister and I had ample time to mourn our loss. We will always be grateful to Edward and Andy for all their hard work and time in making this difficult time easier to deal with. God bless Edward and Andy and thanks for your service.

Hesslin Funeral Home did a phenomenal job helping my family plan my beloved Father's funeral. As…read moresome may know planning a funeral for anyone is as hard as things can get in life so I was especially grateful to be somewhere where our grief was not being taken advantage of like so many funeral homes are known to do. Brendon did an outstanding job preparing my father for viewing. He looked so handsome and looked as if he was in a truly peaceful sleep. Words could never properly convey how much that meant to us, it made things easier for my Mother to see him look so peaceful. I won't ever forget asking Brendon about the preparing of the body...yes I asked. He is my father and I wanted to make sure that every step of his death was met with as much dignity ,love and care as possible. I asked him will you take care of him in a caring manner or are you detached when doing this particular job? He said he couldn't do this job if he didn't care about the people that came across to him. In addition the owner of the funeral home (he didn't see that I saw this) came to pick up my father at hospice stopped for a moment before wheeling him off to the funeral home and crossed himself and said a short prayer. I cant tell you how much that meant to me. It showed me that death wasn't just business for them. I highly recommend Hesslin and their staff & I thank you all again for helping us during this most painful time in our lives. The Martinez Family

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.
