ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!! I am a military spouse that was stationed overseas and wasn't able to return for my fathers passing. They released his body AND the diamond necklaces made to a person not LEGALLY allowed to sign them out (not even a family member) and told me it's not his problem and I'm going to be blocked if I called again. I now have to get lawyers involved. Such a shame such an AWFUL man is in charge of peoples last wishes. I am heartbroken. Shame on you, sir! You are a HEARTLESS man that has ZERO business in this industry!! read more

I really needed to write a review for this Funeral Home. Over the years many of my family members have been buried through Yeosock's and my family have never had any problems...Until my 98 year old aunt died and we of course went to Yeosock.. Pat is related to my family and we were assured that they loved Aunt J. and would take the very best of care of her. We met with Mike and everything was set up for a bit of a family gathering { in the church} and then she would be cremated and buried at a future date because of the weather. There was a burial insurance account with Yeocock and we wanted to be sure there would be enough money left after the burial to cover a kneeler on the family plot or to have her name engraved on the family headstone, we were assured that there would be aprox. $700.00 left for those plans. In the following year we kept calling and e-mailing to get an accounting and to set a burial date. Most of the time there was no answer to phone calls or messages left and never a response to an e-mail. I was fed up and I called a member of the association that represents funeral homes and directors and poured out my story...FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE STATE OF PA....that was the recommendation. I did.. I never was suggesting a criminal activity but I was suggesting the director, Michael Yeosock was no longer able to perform his duties and that his son that should have had his back and resolved our problems was no where to be found. The state ordered Mr. Yeosock to appear before a board for a hearing and suddenly he reached out to us and we set up a date for my Aunt J. to be buried in the family plot with her parents. After 1 1/2 years the family gathered for the burial and Mr. Yeosock was there although he never got out of the car. My cousin met with him, in the car, and he finally gave her the accounting.....Very strange the fact that to the very last penny THE COST AND INSURANCE BALANCED...totally.....While they met he asked her if "now that things were settled would I please call the state and tell them everything ok. I DID NOT TELL THEM EVERYTHING WAS OK. There was something wrong but we decided to just leave it up to the state. Several months later my cousin {the executress of my aunts will} received a check for aprox. $500. better than nothing but not the accounting he had told us in the beginning. Now we can make plans to have her name added to her family plot. Sad story of what was once a great business seemingly not knowing when to close the door and retire? read more

Horrible customer service. Just attended a service there and the woman who met us and "hosted" the service was unfriendly, unapproachable and rude. She bossed people around the room, did not have the place set up for the attendees despite lots of upfront information about the amount of attendees (no chairs set up, etc). Didn't have the prayer cards placed, nothing. Her presence was completely not appropriate for funeral home personnel. The most un-kind, non-compassionate environment for grieving loved ones ever. read more

I attended a viewing and funeral at Yeosock Funeral home. The funeral home did not completely seal the mouth of the deceased. Fluid was draining from his mouth. It was absolutely horrible. The poor family. Someone had to stand near the casket and wipe his face. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I'm writing this review after finding such a negative one on Yelp. It's unnecessary and wrong to contest someone else's experiences; death is anguish from beginning to end. However, my experiences with this funeral home--over the course of twenty-five years--are so different from the first reviewer's that I had no choice but to write. Mike and Pat Yeosock are known far-and-wide--to a much greater distance than Luzerne County--for lifelong willingness to step in and help in situations where other morticians would turn their backs and think nothing of doing so. Their charitable nature and diligence have been a bedrock. I could not imagine dealing with anyone lacking their or their son's sense of civic responsibility and compassion, and would be derelict not to say so. For Yelp readers familiar with the Bible, Our Lord says to say our prayers in private and not make a show of righteousness. The Yeosock Funeral Home embodies this verse. I know this--beyond my own family's experiences, for twenty-five years. read more
