The Funeral Director Jeff S was disrespectful and unprofessional throughout. Many issues with him…read moreand his bloated ego. He was NOT in the least consoling or comforting at a time that is so deeply hurtful. He only added to my stress. A meeting with him to address these issue was met with distant and some inane explanations for his actions. At no time did he offer any semblance of an apology. Subsequent meeting with the owner was very much respectful and empathetic to my dismay and anger at Jeff's demeanor. There is a problem with communication policy/practice at Slater's. Events must be conveyed to bereaved individuals in a thorough and specific manner. This led to much confusion and stress for me. My husband had a grey/black mustache which became a black smudge for his viewing. I could understand if there was an accident but just be honest. Slater's as whole was good BUT the Funeral Director needs to find another career choice. Simply believe he has been doing this for 30 plus years and lacks empathy and common courtesy when interaction with his customers. Truly truly a sad state.

If I could give this funeral home no stars I would!!! They buried my son naked, not that it matters…read moremuch now, I guess but it did at that time and when ur paying a place 7k to handle things properly this should NOT have happened. I was also threatened with pictures of my brutally murdered son when I 6 months later (I was in shock at the time and just accepted I had to have a closed casket) later went in to see why I couldnt have had a open casket. My son was shot in the head and but had a his full face so Im sure they could have put a hat on him or something. I mean the reconstruct faces at some funeral homes and my sons face was fine. My mom and brother seen pics of him from the corner and they both said his face looked fine it only had a small scratch under his left eye that makeup could have hid easliy. When I asked the funeral director he said, "that kid had no back of his head!!", "you want me to show you??!" As he was looking through his folder to show me this horrendous picture of my son!!! I also wanted to see what suit they buried my son in since it was I couldnt see my son and didnt know the suit was never delivered until after my son was buried. The funeral director lied right to my mom and my face and had the nerve to say my mom brought his suit, but she did not and was not the one suppose to even bring it. Also it was made very clear this was a young man's funeral and there would be a lot of ppl attending and the funeral director was either running around yelling about the amount if ppl there or he was hitting on ppl and not only was he a easy 20yrs older then the ppl he was chasing around but he is a married man, and suppose to be a religious one too... It was so bad at one point he was literally stocking ppl and relentless hitting on them even on facebook. He is truly a sick man and I can not believe I trusted him in my weakest moments with my sons finally hours on this earth. Please I beg of you to not make the same mistake!!! I tried contacting the funeral home and its owners countless times, not that they could even fix anything, but I wanted them to know what kind of service my son had and for them to make sure it doesnt happen to somebody else, but I never even got 1 reply back, nothing. Im telling you please do no waste your $, or emotional well being and go with a funeral home that has respect for your loved ones weither they are alive or dead because Greens does not.

My family is from Aliquippa/Hopewell and this is the place everyone uses. The staff are very, very kind and attentive which is what you need and want during a time of mourning and saying goodbye.

Cemeteries. I like them or dislike them. Usually for the same reasons. It's only a matter of…read moretiming. I recently lost a long-time friend to ovarian cancer. I stopped by Deer Creek to pay my respects and say my own goodbyes. Deer Creek is much bigger than I expected. It may have been the lack of trees or tall bushes that can break up the long site-lines in a typical cemetery, but the gravestones seemed to go on forever, up and down the small slopes. The grounds were spotted with dashes of color from the flags or flowers placed near the markers. I noticed the well-paved, large roads that take visitors to all corners of the grounds. There are street signs and street names on the intersections. I've not ever noticed that before in a cemetery, but it gives it the feeling of a small town. If I consider, also, the other markers designating areas within those blocks, almost like house numbers, I suppose it is like a mini-town. A well-laid out town. Bittersweet. As I roamed, looking for the one place I needed, I saw the well-groomed grass and nicely maintained grounds. You can move from the older to the more recent without noticing. Deer Creek obviously chooses not to save money by letting things becomes overgrown. Good job. After several minutes, I gave up and stopped by the office to ask for directions. The man working that day found the information on the computer, gave me the location, and pointed me in the general direction. Fewer than 5 minutes. Efficient. It's a nice cemetery. Next time I'm in the area, I may like it. But right now, in this moment, at this time: I dislike it. Cancer sucks.

Bock Funeral Home is an older structure with faded pictures hanging on last century's wallpaper &…read morethe distinct smell of out-dated furniture...which could be overlooked if my Dad had been presented as someone I recognized. I have no idea who he was supposed to look like...definitely not my Dad. And his hair looked like he just got out of bed!The unfriendly personnel offered cold respect to family and friends. The Pastor we chose had a lovely service before the presentation of Military Honors. At that point, they wheeled the casket in to the chapel area which felt very disrespectful to my Dad. This was not done in a ceremonial fashion and destroyed the ambiance established by the Pastor. Why not have the casket in the chapel during the eulogy waiting for the Honors? There was no honor or respect. It was awful!

Something is fishy about the flower situation, he donates them to charity. Shouldn't the family decide what gets donated! Some flowers were never even put out! Lots of shaky things with my experience many lies! He is very nice and the facility is nice but doesn't know a thing about his job or the paper work and legalities. Find another place to go, find someone who knows what they are doing. Especially at a sad time, you need direction and guidance, you will not find it here. Also, his voice mail is always full and you cant get thru the funeral home! Death certificates can be picked up in Pgh., the next day. You dont have to wait 3 weeks! The list goes on!!!!!

I want to highlight how genuinely remorseful he was for our loss, and how kind he was. Matt was also so kind, helping me hook up my slideshow for my Gram, and assisting us. Every detail was really thoughtful, including a special charm Nick gave my mother and I at the end that is cut in half, one piece to stay with my grandmother & one with us. They checked in on us at the perfect times, asking if we needed coffee or water. They greeted all of our family and gave their condolences. Perhaps the most touching aspect was how Nick helped us get my Grammy home. There was an issue back home in CA with her death certificate (nothing to do with Alfieri, it was her doctors), and she almost did not make it back to PA, her final resting place. Thank you Nick and Matt, truly. You gave my Mom, her brother, and our whole family peace and closure with your services.
