    Managing a funeral during Covid is not easy and Ralph Schugar staff and Sharon Brody were beyond…read moreour expectations. They were caring, helpful and treated my family with respect and gave us welcome advise when we needed it. From start to finish, they patiently walked us through the process and helped us make the best choice for our family even arranging for a special viewing for the grandchildren to say goodbye to their beloved Papa . My mom did not want to split up my five siblings and wanted us all with her so they arranged for a stretch limo. The cemetery had issues with the actual grave site and they help navigate so that my mother and siblings were satisfied, we had a grave side service and they arranged for chairs for all of the older attendees and a tent. They even assisted with live streaming so that out of town guests could join us. My oldest brother had many many demands and required some extra attention and somehow Rose on the Schugar team was his personal aid and made him feel heard and got him what he needed quickly. We had one day to pull together a service, arrangements and shivas and they helped to get it all done. Thank you for helping us while we were at wits end during one of the worst times in our lives. I highly recommend.

    There are times when all of us need to come to grip with reality regarding the inevitable. Ralph…read moreSchugar Funeral Chapel is one of the few ultra Orthodox Jewish funeral home in Pittsburgh. Clearly by far it is the best. They offer funeral packages, graveside packages, or you can make up your own. The chapel is an adequate size for the ceremony. Judaism dictates no open viewing but rather 1 hour visitation before the service. Casket remains closed. Off to the side of the chapel is the mourner's room where family and friends may pay their respects to the deceased' next of kin during that visitation period. They provide you with information on how to find the various cemeteries and give you a small book of prayers, and a listing of the yearly Yahrzeits (Hebrew anniversary of date of passing) for the deceased. Their phone answers 24 hours round the clock so there is always someone available. They provide excellent service and compassion and understanding to the one in need. Another service they offer is a prearrangement which I lean towards. Often times in a period of loss a person is under much duress and as a result has a tendency to overspend. You can arrange an apt with a member of their staff and declare your intentions for your next of kin or for yourself. Around the time of the Jewish High Holidays in the fall they give out complimentary Jewish calendars. I have utilized their services in the past and have been here on a number of occasions. Out of respect for the chapel no photographs please.

(This was charged to us) reason being that morning the limo had a flat & Ms. Tracy had a waredrobe malfuntion. Noone called us & noone showed up. There was no organization. Still havent recived final bill. Every time we have asked we are told someone else Mr. Jones is the only one that can give us that. SPRIGGS.-WATSON failed misserable and giving him his final resting . Please if others have had the same aweful experience with this funeral home please contact. State Board of Funeral Director @ 1-717-783-3397 Email @ st-funeral@pa.com No family should have to deal with shaddy business practices.

    We recently used Spriggs-Watson Funeral Home for my husband's grandma's burial arrangements. We…read more worked with the funeral director and he was unprofessional in a number of ways. When we came in for our scheduled meeting to discuss the arrangements, he was late to our meeting. When he did come in to the room, he never said he was sorry for our loss. He then had a folder of information for our loved one, however, he had other people's information in her folder. Also, his cell phone kept going off during the meeting and he didn't 1) turn it to silent and 2) ignore the calls. He actually answered the calls in the middle of our meeting, which I thought was very unprofessional. He was very unprofessional and also could stand to have some sensitivity training. In addition to all of that, there were some financial disputes between the family and the funeral home. We needed to purchase a vault for our loved one and the director said we could purchase one from the cemetery for $1900, or purchase one from him for $1200. That turned out to be entirely false. Thee cemetery only charges the base price of vaults, which is about $700. I believe the director, Napoleon, takes advantage of people in their vulnerable state in order to get more money for himself. The only reason I gave Spriggs-Watson two stars was because the gentleman who conducted the actual funeral service arrangements on the day of the funeral. He was very professional and courteous and made sure we were okay the whole entire time. I wish I knew his name!

    Our family wishes to express our heartfelt thanks to Linda and John from Elachko Funeral Home in…read morehonoring our mother in a very special way. They were kind and compassionate. They provided us with the information of what needed to be done, they guided us through the process, offered us with the resources/options, they took care of all the details from contacting the church, the cemetery, detailing the types of flowers available , being flexible and accommodating our request. The cost is very reasonable. When we entered the viewing room, our mother looked lovely surrounded by beautiful pink, soft roses that matched her dress, it gave us such a sense of calmness, radiance and peace. This does not happen by accident, it's the attention to details, caring about our mother and treating us like family. We are forever grateful and highly recommend their services.

They were thorough and knowledgeable, but they were also kind, and compassionate -- so caring and gentle. We all were in good hands. When we asked for advice.about a probate attorney to help us handle our brother's affairs, they recommended Greg Diulus, who has also been an absolute Godsend, just as Linda and John were. I highly recommend them.
