Although we knew of the inevitable after two years in Memory Care at Brandywine Summit; it was still the most emotional experience ever and the staff at Bradley, led by Chris, spent the time and made the effort to make the process easier and more comfortable. It's not easy when you are dealing with a large family, each with their own thoughts and requests. Not sure any of us were ready for the nearly two hundred people who arrived during Pam's memorial, but Bradley took it in stride Our Thanks to Chris and the staff at Bradley for their kindness.

Bradly, Smith and Smith Funeral Home handled the services for my wife last month. As a former fourth generation funeral director, I knew what was needed to handle my affairs professionally, with dignity and respect. Even by my standards they went above and beyond. This is what makes loving memories more comforting. Sincere gratitude to Chris, Lauren and Pat for their professionalism and care. Mike Caffrey

We have used the funeral services of Bradley for several family members and most recently for our Mother. Everyone involved in the process was extremely helpful and supportive.

Google Reviewer

They were attentive, helpful, kind, responsive, caring, professional, compassionate, and calming as well as informative about the entire process. The graveside funeral and burial were handled perfectly. The organization was flawless. (The funeral/burial was prepaid some years ago; that process was handled seamlessly and extremely well; we were always informed.) Since the burial, the funeral home has kindly reached out to us several times. I would highly recommend using them without any hesitation.

There are not enough accolades to say how incredibly supportive, kind and caring the Ascher-Zimmerman Funeral Home Team was in helping to plan and orchestrate my mothers funeral. From the time of her passing to checking in after the fact, they made sure every detail was taken care of. Ryan and the team went beyond what I could have ever hoped for during such a difficult time. They truly made what could have been an overwhelming situation a positive experience. I felt my mother was treated with dignity and caring in every aspect of her passing. There were so many questions I had, and every single one was answered with such kindness and professionalism. On behalf of my family, we will always be filled with gratitude to Ryan and the team. The Ascher-Zimmerman Funeral Home is the gold standard of saying goodbye to a loved one. They will remain in our hearts Forever with pure gratitude!

Susan and everyone at Byron Keenan made an awful time as painless as it could possibly be. Their compassion and kindness was amazing. After my husband passed, I was dreading having to make arrangements. Susan took a great deal of time with my whole family, talking with us about my husband and our family and what would be meaningful for the services. When we arrived for the services, I could not believe how absolutely beautiful the presentation of everything was and how it represented my husband and everything he loved! Family and friends all commented on what a beautiful tribute it was to him and our family and I could not be more grateful! I highly highly highly recommend Byron Keenan to everyone who is looking for a place to say goodbye to a loved one. In the face of unimaginable grief, Susan and everyone at Byron Keenan was a true blessing!

I cannot say enough about the care and compassion shown by Forastiere Family Funeral Home. I was in London when my grandmother passed, and they helped me immediately, easing an incredibly stressful and emotional situation. My grandmother was cremated at their facility, and they handled every detail with professionalism and kindness. They took care of all the necessary documents so I didnt have to worry about logistics while grieving. What truly sets them apart is how they go above and beyondweeks later, they even checked in on me to offer continued support and services. Their thoughtfulness, empathy, and dedication made a very difficult time more manageable. I am deeply grateful for everything they did.

Hello, my name is Stephen, and my dad recently passed away on October 23, and it was a very hard time losing him and grieving his passing. Paulette, Steve, and everyone at Henderson's Funeral Home took such good care of my dad. He served in the Marine Corps as a Corporal for four years during Vietnam, and they honored him beautifully. They prepared him so well and made him look so peaceful in the casket, dressed in his Marine uniform, that for a moment I almost couldn't recognize him. Their work showed real care and respect. I wrote his official obituary for Legacy.com, and on the day of his Celebration of Life, I delivered a shortened version of my original eulogy. Even with the last-minute changes, Paulette was incredibly supportive and genuinely loved the eulogy. To me, my dad is not a tadpole anymorehe's a spirit frogand the Celebration of Life truly reflected the meaning and love behind that. I received his flag for his service to our country, as well as the shell casings fr

Ms. Paulette and her entire team are an elite group. In 2009 during the worst tragedy of my life she took care of my family with laying my infant daughter to rest. Well today we held a memorial service for my father in law. I communicated directly with Ms. Paulette over the phone as we live out of state. She was empathetic and considerate. She handled us with such care and took care of details I didnt even think of. This business has been in the community for coming up on 75 years and I can see why. If you dont know where to start or if you know exactly what you want this team will take care of you and your loved ones. The facility is beautiful, welcoming and comfortable. Thank you Hendersons for all that you have done to make todays service beautiful.

Paulette went above and beyond for my family to have the appropriate closure needed. Her kindness and hospitality will forever be appreciated. A loss is always going to be stressful; but the professionalism displayed here to me and my family helped with making the process as comfortable as possible. Thank you again.
