The two people who came to the house to pick up at 4:00 AM during a snowstorm were very professional. The Funeral Director, Sherry, was empathetic and professional. There was no "sales pressure" of any kind. Sherry gave clear descriptions of all the services and prices. Everything was very clearly and compassionately explained. Once services were selected, Sherry carefully reviewed them and the prices. The prices were very reasonable. There is ample parking. The decor of the funeral home is attractive. The common areas and every room I saw were spotless. Every aspect of my family's contact with AJ Desmond & Sons showed caring and professionalism. I highly recommend AJ Desmond & Sons!

A loved one passed away at home and this was the nearest funeral home. We called and they were able…read moreto come pick the deceased person up. We went up soon after to discuss services and pricing. The place itself is gorgeous; bright, welcoming. Not stuffy or sad. You can tell it's been recently updated. We were comfortable in the lobby and in the consultation room. We were offered complimentary bottled water, which is nice when you're bone dry from crying for hours straight. We made it clear from the beginning we didn't want a funeral or even viewing service. The salesperson was respectful of that and moved forward with going over cremation services. The cremation service itself is carried out by another company and was only like $600? But for some reason, the funeral home charges almost $3000 on top of that for their time and services. That seems wild to me for someone who didn't want viewing, mourning services, visitation, etc. It's expensive to live and it's expensive to die. The salesperson was friendly and mostly respectful, although we could hear the misogyny when he spoke to my husband directly, and not his sister, who was actually handling all the business. Don't like that. But he accommodated all of our simple requests without fuss. Besides the oldschool mentality of our salesperson, it was a fine place to spend a couple hours talking about a dead person.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would…read more When my beloved mother passed away on March 15, I was already in deep grief--but what made things even harder was dealing with unexpected complications surrounding her prepaid funeral arrangements. She had thoughtfully paid for everything 32 years in advance, intending to spare us any burden. Unfortunately, after the original funeral home owner retired and transferred her contract to another funeral home, I encountered a very distressing situation with them that was dismissive, rude, and suddenly demanding additional money despite previously telling me everything was fully covered. I was shocked, overwhelmed, and honestly heartbroken all over again. That's when I found Mr. Patrick Lynch and Lynch & Sons Funeral Home--and everything changed. I called after hours on Friday and left a message, not expecting to hear back until Monday. To my surprise, Patrick Lynch called me back within 10 minutes. He spent 45 minutes on the phone with me, patiently explaining everything, going over the other funeral home's statement line by line, and helping me understand what was actually going on. He was calm, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. More importantly, he genuinely cared. For the first time since my mom passed, I felt a sense of peace and relief. I immediately knew I wanted to move my mother into their care. The next morning at exactly 10 AM, just as promised, his son Paddy Lynch called me. From that point on, everything was seamless. Paddy was kind, attentive, and so easy to work with. He handled every detail with grace and professionalism, making a very difficult process feel manageable. They helped me create a funeral that was truly beautiful and elegant--far beyond anything I could have hoped for. Even though my mother was not embalmed and went directly to the church, everything was handled flawlessly. One of the most special touches was the Juilliard-trained violinist, Sonia they arranged, which made the service incredibly moving and unforgettable. The entire experience was handled with such sensitivity, dignity, and care. In a time of deep grief and despair, Patrick and Paddy Lynch were not just helpful-- they were a source of light, compassion, comfort, strength and steady support. They treated me like family, not just a client. My mother's funeral was absolutely perfect--graceful, meaningful, and filled with love. I will be forever grateful to them for guiding me through one of the hardest moments of my life. I cannot recommend Lynch & Sons Funeral Home highly enough. If you want compassionate, honest, and truly exceptional care for your loved one, this is the place to go.

Unfortunately, my family had to pull together a funeral for my dad unexpectedly in early May. Unexpected is the key word because if it's not already planned, all the decisions and details can be incredibly overwhelming - all while you're grieving. Mandziuk & Son were wonderful from start to finish, and helped make everything seamless. They guided us, were very professional, accommodating, and perhaps most importantly, helped us pull everything together incredibly quickly. For example, we picked out some pictures and some songs that they were able to create a nice memorial video for us within 24 hours. They also work closely with the churches and cemeteries so the family doesn't have to worry about coordinating any of that. With their help, I felt we were able to really honor my dad's life and for that I'll always be grateful.

I completed the funeral services for my mother-in-law at the Gramer Funeral Home in Clawson in July 2024. As part of our family's customs, I plan to carry her ashes overseas next year for the immersion ceremony (Asthi Visarjan). When I submitted the application to the Consulate in October 2025 for a no-objection certificate to transport the ashes, they requested a cremation certificate with some specific information. I contacted Gramer Funeral Home for assistance, and Megan and Paul were extremely helpful. They prepared the certificate the same day--within just a few hours--and provided the required letter without any hesitation, even though a year had passed since the cremation. Their support, promptness, and understanding during this additional step meant a great deal to me and my family. Thank you, Navin

We had to ship my loved one's body from CA to MI (through Franklin & Downs Funeral Home in Modesto,…read moreCA--reviewed separately). One of the partners, Kathy Desmond, called me personally to initiate contact and let me know how everything would be handled and rough estimates of involved costs (which helped immensely). She was courteous and professional. I then dealt through email with Bill Oldani, who was even more compassionate, courteous and professional. Bill took the time to recommend a local priest for a grave-site service (it was four people total and we didn't want a traditional wake). He also made all necessary arrangements so I literally had to do nothing but give approvals and answer questions regarding preferences. For each step, Mr. Oldani advised me in advance of all costs. (Even down to flowers to be placed on the casket--I gave a range on what I wanted to spend, and he came in the middle, recommending not to spend more due to the brevity of the service.) He agreed to have all costs billed to my local CA funeral home so I could pay everything in advance at once for convenience, which removed a lot of stress and worry. Throughout the process, Bill made sure all my queries were answered satisfactorily and encouraged me to contact him with any others at any time. At the cemetery, I met with Bill's associate Kelly (apologies if I'm misremembering the name) who had my brother and I sign all needed paperwork and explained every part of the process and service. Though she was young enough to be my daughter, she was still courteous and professional, which was appreciated. (Only two minor downsides: 1) the priest sped through the scripture readings like the disclaimer of a car commercial, and 2) we were offered the chance to pay our last respects in private, neither the priest nor Kathy stepped away to give us any privacy so it was too awkward to do so. The first was not A.J. Desmond's fault and the second may have been due to the conditions or the cemetery's policy, so I am not deducting any stars.) What truly impressed me was that after my return trip home, I received a letter from Bill expressing his condolences, as well as information and brochures regarding death-related scams to avoid, and free-of-charge grievance counseling services. (The local CA funeral home did not provide either.) Very appreciated. Death is something no one wants to deal with but everyone will have to eventually, and A.J. Desmond & Sons, and especially Mr. Oldani, made the process seamless and stress-free. I give them my highest recommendation--and deepest thanks.
