Kevin and his crew used their knowledge and judgement to guide us through with real compassion and caring. We wanted a basic cremation so Kevin listened, advised, and made it happen. They handled pickup, crematory, death certs, and obits. We decided as a family that we would take the amount that would have been spent for exactly the same service elsewhere, and donate it to our favorite charity. This was the greatest value that Kevin gave us: spreading some good karma out of our loss. Unreservedly recommend.

He walked us through everything over the phone, was very patient with all my questions and ended up handling everything for us so that we could focus on other things. When we landed in Syracuse, we had to hit the ground running to take care of other odds and ends. Kevin met up with us eliminating the need to stop by his office to obtain the death certificates. He definitely went above and beyond to make things easier on us - amazing customer service! Warms my heart to know that there are still good people in this world - and Kevin is definitely one of them. I would highly recommend to anyone needing his services! Thank you Kevin!

Although it had been nearly 18 years since our family needed the services of a funeral home, there…read morewas no question as to who it would be. It needed to be Hollis! That is where all of our loved ones services have been held. From the very first phone call to Charlie, we immediately knew we were where we needed to be. The home itself is amazing. Its grandeur and character welcomed us with a sense of peace and familiarity, with memories flooding back of the traditional services our parents and grandparents had there. However, there was one thing about Hollis that we didn't realize had changed. Charlie teamed up with his daughter, Eileen - and they couldn't make a better team! Charlie had already earned our business with his charming personality, years of experience, and the comfort of traditions. Eileen brought an even further sense of compassion and comfort to the experience. She is lightheaded, innovative and reassuringly professional. We highly recommend Hollis Funeral Home ! Whether you are looking for a service that is less formal and more personal, or you prefer the traditional, Charlie and Eileen will make it happen. You'll leave feeling like you have been taken care of by dear friends.

However, there were things here and there that really didn't go well the during the process. During the services, the clergy they provided called my grandfather by the wrong name, and she spent minutes throughout the ceremony shuffling through her binder randomly picking out readings that didn't really flow at all. We truly felt they called her about two hours before the services and she had no time to prepare. We were also pretty rushed during the carrying of the casket to the burial site from the hearse. We weren't given clear directions on how to carry or how to lineup, and even though we had eight pallbearers picked out the gentleman from the funeral home decided to help carry the casket from the back. They were very nice and helpful to my grandmother which was important to us but I hope they make sure they know the name of man in the casket the next time they start the services.
