The team at Buhrig Funeral Home in Mechanicsburg, PA is top notch. They took a very stressful time…read morefor our family and turned it into a good experience. They are professional, caring, and thorough. I had people contact me after to tell me that they had never been to a nicer memorial service. We held a catered lunch in the atrium. We loved that they kept the business in the community by using Snapper's. Their food was delicious. Also, they team surprised us with a beautiful blanket with a picture of our dad. So touching. I just can't say enough.

Our family (going back to our grandparents) has been a loyal/regular user of Myers (and later…read moreBuhrig) Funeral Home since the early 1950s. However, because of a practice by Buhrig, specifically by Bob Buhrig and Kirk Freed, specifically where they INSIST that veteran's Death Certificates are $20.00 when, in fact, they are to be FREE, regardless of whether one obtains from from Vital Statistics or via a Registrar (which is an arm of Vital Statistics), that stance CROSSED THE LINE. Granted, to some this may be a small issue...but...it is a BLACK AND WHITE issue...and if Buhrig is going to overcharge in THIS area, it destroys ANY AND ALL sense of ETHICS in its other financial areas. If you do a search on other funeral homes and read where they address veteran death certificates, you'll find that they ALL state they are free of charge. But, Buhrig, even after being called-out on this specific matter, STILL insists they are $20.00 each, and will even suggest that you buy ten (10) certificates for potential executor tasks (i.e. pensions, bank accounts, insurance policies, et cetera). I can't help but believe that Buhrig is "pocketing" these $20.00 charges (for EACH certificate) for veterans (and SPOUSES of such veterans). They are also overly greedy in certain other areas of their services. For example, they charge $140 for a mere register book (where visitors to the viewing/funeral sign their names). You can buy a comparable or better register book online for a mere $20-$25. They also suggest an honorarium of $200-$400 for the pastor whereas other funeral homes suggest a going rate is around $175. What does Buhrig care; it's not THEIR money; they simply prey on the grieving and vulnerable family. For the first time in over 70 years, our family has decided that we will no longer do business with Buhrig based on THIS incident...and...based on other "concerning" observations when it comes to their transparencies. No way. I have even consulted with the State Investigator to look into their veteran death certificate practices, and am happy to see that in our initial telephone conversation, they are taking a HARD look into Buhrig. We shall see what the outcome is, but [again] in our initial conversations, I do feel that Buhrig will become "enlightened" that they can't pull this on everybody. They had taken the wrong stance with the wrong customer!!! And...if you opt to set up an Irrevocable Burial Reserve Account (IBRA) as part of your pre-planning tasks, do NOT be misled that you MUST submit these through Buhrig Funeral Home. You can set these up in a variety of financial institutions -- not ONLY funeral homes.

Looking back, though, that local, intimate setting was the absolute best decision she could have made for her family during a difficult time. Christman's Funeral Home didn't treat us like a business transaction; from the moment we walked in, it felt like we were working alongside family. Their team ensured our mother was taken care of with the utmost dignity, and they created an absolutely beautiful service for her. Our whole family felt genuinely welcomed and looked after every step of the way. Even after the services concluded, they continued reaching out to check on us and see if we needed anything, a level of ongoing thoughtfulness you rarely see in today's world. We especially want to give a heartfelt thank-you to Liza and Julia. From day one right up to today, they have been extraordinarily supportive, warm, and accommodating through it all.
