Had a wonderful experience working with Gary at Bangs for my father's funeral service in Ithaca & transportation for burial out of state. My family was especially pleased with Gary's embalming services - we only wanted the casket open for the family, but he made my dad look so good we could have left it open the whole time! Gary provides the best of everything you need in a sad & stressful time - kindness, attention to detail, skill & knowledge of his profession & a sense of humor when appropriate. Everyone at Bangs has been very polite, professional and thorough with every little detail that we needed taken care of. Highly recommend!
I cannot sing Gary's praises highly enough. My father died unexpectedly and the last 5 days have been an absolute nightmare. Of all of the things that my family has been through,this was one of the things I was dreading the most. It's another level of finality that your parent is truly gone. But by the time my brother and I left Bangs,we felt at peace. He made a really traumatic experience anything but. He has a way about him that puts you immediately at ease. The process was smooth and it was handled very gently and efficiently. He really was such a comfort and just a pleasure to be around. So,a huge thank you to Gary and the folks at Bangs for taking care of my family and my father at a very difficult time.
Professional and caring service. Joe was thoughtful and very helpful during this emotional difficult time.Joes guidance through this process made it seamless. Highly Recommend.
