Over 30 years Snyder funeral home have served Lancaster County not just service, but I personally consider them family. I have attended over 40 funerals for my loved ones, and Snyder is always there. Last month my mother suddenly passed, and the pain was so unreal that it felt, as if my heart was being pulled out of chest, I knew God would carry but Snyder would support me, just like they have done in the past. I had the privilege to work with Chad Snyder Elite team located at 414 East King Street to provide a 3-day funeral service for my mother.

It was unexpected and very upsetting…read more Chris Boggs at Wagner-Elfner Funeral Home went above and beyond to make the entire experience as comfortable as it could possibly be. Chris was genuinely interested in learning about my husband and made some wonderful recommendations to us that enabled us to say goodbye to him in a way that honored him both in life and death. Losing someone you love can be very traumatic and it is hard to think clearly when making decisions about final arrangements. Chris made the entire process seamless, explaining everything along the way, giving us flexibility in our choices, and helping us curate an experience that fit my husband. Through their support, my husband's viewings and preparations were executed in a way that honored his true personality and life- all of which were ideas that they provided to us. I can't say enough great things about how Wagner-Elfner handled it all. Even when I made a last minute decision to have my husband interred at a church, they quickly pivoted to support my wishes. All of the staff has been extremely supportive, kind, and patient throughout this process. The attention to detail, communication, and coordination has been superb. I've been to other funeral homes in my life where everything was cookie cutter and there were sometimes two or three viewings happening at the same time. This doesn't happen at Wagner-Elfner. They focus on one family at a time which gives everyone who is grieving the space they need to visit with loved ones and start to heal. I would 100% recommend Wagner-Elfner to any family who finds themselves in need of final services for their loved ones. Thank you to the entire Wagner-Elfner family but especially Chris Boggs who stood by us throughout this entire journey.

Save yourself the heart I endured. I usually never write…read morereviews but when it comes to Harkins Funeral Home and My mom I'm making an exception. My mom passed away March 18,2025 after home hospice for 2 1/2 months. Sadly she died at 11:15 pm and I didn't know who to call so knowing Harkins Funeral Home was local I had hospice call them and ask for her to be pickup. . It started out okay they went and picked her up and I went the next day to make my arrangements. While in the meeting with Mr Lovelidge the owner, I found him to be very arrogant and excited to talk about himself also mentioning he would never hire a women to do his job as they weren't dedicated enough. The subject came up about how many siblings I had. I informed him I had two brother which hadn't had contact with my mother for years. Both living out of state. I explained that my younger brother would more than likely be willing to sign the cremation form however; I told my older brother would not. He never made mention that if my older brother didn't sign that he would not cremate my mom and in fact after finding out my older brother refused, Mr Lovelidge threatened to charge me to keep my mother there each additional day on top of the charge I already paid on my credit card. He said "we'll have to bury her". Crying and pleading with him not to bury her as her last wishes were to cremated. He said "I'm sorry but we can't just keep her here and it's a shame you have a brother like that". That being a moot point after making clear I wanted a direct cremation and nothing else. I thought he was going to allow me to see my mom and he never offered. When I asked if I could just pick my mother's body up he said sure but "I won't put my career on the line and I won't sign the death certificates which you have to have". Finding out that Maryland was a Majority Sign meant I could take her to a Maryland Funeral home and have just my younger brother agree. Mr.lovelidge was obviously angry and was short on the phone saying fine have another funeral pick up. I then called crying in a panic Schimunek Furneral Home and spoke a wonderful funeral director named Melissa. She was not only willing to be kind enough to get involved but assured me that my signature and my younger brother's signature was enough and my mother's last wishes would be honored. In trying to get refunded from Harkins not only was I not fully refunded with the exception of them picking her up and keeping for 36 hours they charged and additional $480 for "Professional Services" when trying ask what that meant Mr Lovelidge blocked my phone and handed the problem to his wife. Patty was unable to give any explanation as to what professional service were other we met with her husband for 40 minutes and listen to how wonderful he was according to himself. As my request for direct cremation took minutes. When speaking to Schimunek funeral home they explained they got pushback when they went to get my mom but stood their ground and retrieved body for me. Loving and heartbroken Daughter.

They did such a fantastic job that when other members of the family became ill or died suddenly, we would immediately contact Heffner to make arrangements. When my dad entered hospice care in April and we had to face the fact that he would never get better, we once again contacted Heffner. We selected his coffin and flowers arrangements and went over his life's history with a staff member. Knowing that my dad served in the Army and worked for US AID, he was offered full military honors. We were quite appreciative of that. However, after much discussion with my parents, they opted only for the flag over his casket and declined the rest of the traditional honors. My parents wanted a more intimate Catholic Mass and burial with family and friends only. My dad passed away on August 16, 2016 at 2:30am. Even at that early hour, two members of Heffner came dressed in full suit and tie to collect my dad. They treated his remains with the utmost care and respect and had a flag ready to drape over his body. On the day of my dad's funeral (Tuesday August 23, 2016), Heffner's staff worked tirelessly to guide, seat, offer condolences, and hand out tissues, prayer books, and keepsakes to our 300+ guests at their funeral home, at St. Jospeh's Catholic Church, and at Susquehanna Memorial Gardens. Every guest commented on how peaceful my dad looked, how beautiful the flowers were, how dignified the whole day was, and how wonderfully Heffner's staff catered to everyone. The Heffner family has been in the funeral business for over 100 years. They believe in their services and offer a 100% money back guarantee. I highly recommend them and would use their services again when it is time to say good-bye to another loved one.

She also recorded video (per our request) which was professional and promptly uploaded to my dad's Tribute page. Bob was excellent as well.

The staff here is not only gifted, but they take extreme pride in what they do. Never did we imagine that we would be in this position during COVID.
