We worked with David for pre- planning arrangements and again recently when our mother passed. He is extremely responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and patient. The service went exactly as discussed. Highly recommend.

Dave and his staff at Tindall Funeral Home were wonderful to work with. They helped make our father's funeral a beautiful sendoff.

I worked with Dave on my mom's preneeds arrangements six months before she passed and he was extremely helpful explaining everything. I had never had experience with funeral planning before and Dave's expertise certainly made it a lot easier for the family when our mom died. The funeral went beautifully and perfectly right down to the smallest detail.

Marie was the most incredible funeral director we've worked with. She was extremely accommodating, responsive, respectful, and allowed us to have the most special and beautiful farewell to our loved one. What a lovely team!

Marie and family took care of us with the utmost care and excellence, just like we were one of their own.

I never thought Id be writing such a positive review about funeral services. But Farone & son is an exceptional business who treated my family like we were part of their family. The level of attention to detail, customer service and care for our family was outstanding. Thanks to the entire staff for helping us through this most difficult time.

New Comer in North Syracuse did the best I could have imagined - from the visitation to the service. It was perfect in every detail. Thank you!

Michael is very professional and kind!! Thank you Michael. Thank you everybody here at the New Comers!!

We deeply appreciate the exceptional efforts of the Newcomer Cremation & Funerals staff in organizing the celebration of life services for my husband. Their professionalism and attention to detail made a difficult process much easier. We are grateful to those who worked diligently with the insurance company to initiate the claim process and to the ushers who provided courteous assistance. Newcomers compassion and dedication truly made a difference during this challenging time.

I would like to take the time today to share the loving care that Ballweg and Lunsford Funeral Home. This is the sixth time that we have dealt with them the Last two times we have had Jason Brushnell. Jason has gone above and beyond for my family, the care, respect, and Going above and beyond is truly a blessing. He makes the whole process so much easier for a situation that could be very sad and depressing, but working with Jason is far from that I would highly recommend going to Baldweg and Lunsford., And DeWitt Memorial. They are reasonable friendly and do a wonderful job with your loved ones that have passed on. So again Jason for the sixth time thank you from all of my family.

Mr Sung guided me in through all the steps that needed to be done for my daughters cremation. Prices, where she would be taken for the cremation, newspaper posts with costs, etc etc, everything. I'm so deeply grateful for him explaining it all and helping to ease my mind about everything.

I am very satisfied with the work DeWitt Memorial Funeral home dose they had three of my love ones and the price was very reasonable. Very nice people and will work with you to make everything go smoothly. Thank again for everything.

Absolutely amazing at what they do!

I found the Carter's to be incredibly kind and respectful. Their attention to detail and mindfulness of my wishes was exemplary. I would recommend their service to anyone and will be forever grateful that I chose them.

Our family received the great funeral service from Pete who made sure everything was taken good care of, from planning until the last minute. I definitely recommend Carter Home for future service.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience during such a difficult time. Peter and the guys at Pirro Funeral parlor were truly exceptional. They showed genuine care and compassion for my family. They made the entire process of my father's passing much easier, for my mother and family. Not once did they try to upsell or nickel and dime us - their main focus was on making sure we were comfortable and at peace. They took care of everything for usmaking today at the funeral go smoothly and handled every detail with professionalism. I highly recommend Pirro Funeral parlor and am grateful for their outstanding service. Thank you guys for orchestrating today with ease and being so supportive to my family and I. -Anne Marie O.

We lost our baby January 6, 2024. This funeral home took great care of our daughters remains and our family. They kept us informed and left us feeling cared for every step of the way. This was an impossible time in our lives and they made it a little bit softer.

From start to finish Tom III, Peter and David and staff made this stress free for the family. Pre planning is the key . By the time my husband actually passed, I basically showed up for the services and they orchestrated the day. Very pleased and I received tons of compliments from family on how nicely done the service was. Easily got over 400 people in and out without having them stand out in the cold. You guys know how to pull it together with grace and dignity. Linda Brown

My mother recently passed. Her parents went through Ballweg & Lunsford, and it was where she wanted to go as well. They are a highly professional, respectful, and helpful group. Their prices are reasonable and very clear broken down by each aspect or item of the process, everything is clearly explained, they make every effort to get you all of the assistance that you might require and will be with you to do it, even going so far as to make the calls for you with you present. I was assisted by Tzeiwei Sung, and I don't think I could have asked for someone gentler or kinder to be by my side during the process. He answered every question I had and went out of his way to help me and make sure that everything was taken care of. Thank you, both to Tzeiwei, and to Ballweg & Lunsford. As much as was possible, you eased the hardship of a trying time and I am grateful.

Worked with Jason and he was very understanding and respectful throughout the whole process. He answered every question I had quickly and professionally. Would recommend these guys to anyone in need of their services 100%!

I am truly grateful for the support and encouragement that the team at Ballweg & Lunsford gave me throughout the process of dealing with the loss of my niece and helping me with every step to make sure I was able to honor her wishes. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being there for me and giving me peace through the process. May god bless you all for the wonderful work you do every day!

Tim Burns was extremely considerate to my Dad, who handled my Mom's cremation. Would highly recommend!!

On numerous occasions, they have gone above and beyond to plan beautiful services, attending to every detail with professionalism and courtesy. Their dedication to meeting all our needs made them feel almost like family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Tim Burns, the owner, and his team for their compassionate and outstanding support. We highly recommend Burns-Garfield Funeral Home for their exemplary service.

Tim Burns and his caring team have been so kind and fabulous in preparing for calling hours and memorial services on both sides of our family. They don't forget any details & the picture memories projected all around the room walls are so comforting for all to see. God bless you Tim & family for all you do from the bottom of your hearts.

Losing my sister was one of the hardest experiences of my life, but the care and professionalism shown by Hollis Funeral Home made an incredibly difficult time a little more bearable. From our very first conversation, Charlie was kind, honest, and straightforward. There was no pressurejust guidance. He was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain every step of the process with patience and compassion. It was clear that he genuinely cared about our family and treated my sisters arrangements with deep respect. He was responsive and organized, handling every detail with carefrom preparing the service to coordinating with others involved. He even helped lead the ceremony in a way that felt personal and meaningful. His presence gave us comfort, and his steady hand allowed us to focus on grieving and being together as a family. I am incredibly grateful for the dignity and attention Charlie provided. I cant recommend him enough for anyone facing the heartbreak of saying goodby

The owner Charlie Hollis was nothing short of AMAZING! Extremely kind, caring, informative, great price, easy transaction, easy pick up (3 hours away).. I could go ON about this company. Extremely professional, if I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Charlie Hollis was wonderful from my first contact with him. He was pleasant and patient on the phone with my many questions. He was busy when I called but contacted me as he said he would regarding an appointment with him that day. Charlie was waiting at the door when us siblings arrived and warmly welcomed us. He patiently listened to what we needed for our deceased brother. Very professional. An added feature was his sense of humor obviously he read the four of us. Our deceased brother was most likely laughing along with us in heaven as he had a great sense of humor too. I highly recommend Hollis funeral home. Thank you Charlie.

Upstanding! Truly a dignified service provider. we felt supported, comforted, and truly cared for. The owner, Don handled every detail with professionalism, grace, and genuine compassion.

Don and staff were great, one call and he took care of everything for us in our time of need. Thank you very much for your care and compassion.

Reliable. Consistent. Professional. Efficient.

Ryan is a man who truly believes in the sacredness of the human person. Even the remains of a baby not yet fully formed in the womb he cares for with profound respect. It is clear that Ryan feels called to his profession as one who thirsts to help people on a personal and individualized level, and he brought our family great comfort. He will truly walk with you through your difficult time and will make your journey as easy and affordable as possible.

I give Ryan Smith the highest recommendation as founder and owner of Syracuse Simplicity. More families are choosing cremation then ever before, now over 60% nationally. Ryan's choice to focus on this growing preference is both bold and smart. Personally, I experienced Ryan's instinctive compassion when he was just beginning his career. It was time to put down my beloved pet, Miami. Ryan came to the veterinary clinic with a transfer hearse van and stayed with me through that difficult experience. He professionally transferred my cat's body to a local pet crematory. Ryan is unique among funeral professionals today. He naturally possesses qualities which cannot be taught. Whether your need is immediate or you are planning in advance, you can be assured that your family and your loved one will receive the best professional care with compassion and grace by choosing Syracuse Simplicity.

Ryan was the absolute best with the care and planning of my mother. We were stuck with having to find an affordable funeral home and we were lost until we stumbled upon Syracuse Simplicity and Im not disappointed with our choice. He has made it clear and understandable but also makes it very clear he cares for his clients and treats them like this business is his own family. 10/10 highly qualified and suggested from someone who made it feels easier and understandable from my late mother. Under the circumstances of losing a relative, i completely recommend Ryan at Syracuse Simplicity.
