Kristyn Lefferts and all of the staff were exceptional. We had a very personalized celebration for my husband. They are very caring, supportive and excellent at guiding through a devastating time. They mentioned ideas that we incorporated that made our celebration memorable for both our family and attendees. The celebration was custom and personalized to reflect my husband. We are very thankful for all of the support we received.

Rick Falicki and the whole Boyd-Horrox team did a wonderful job on my father's funeral. The prayer card and the remembrance tri-fold and slide show were beautiful and as we expected. We were blown away, though, by the unexpectedly beautiful guest book and the surprise blanket. They were respectful and kind when we called in the middle of the night, did an excellent job preparing Dad, and handled the funeral and burial really well. They gave us private time at the funeral parlor the night before the viewing and made a difficult path easier at the cemetery. We were all really glad to have chosen Boyd-Horrox.

We held our babys memorial service at Boyd-Horrox-Givnish Funeral Home this past August, and we are so deeply grateful for the kindness and compassion shown to us during such a painful time. Every member of their team treated us with genuine care and respect. They guided us through every detail with patience and sensitivity, making the process as easy as possible while we were grieving. Because of their thoughtful support, our family and friends were able to come together to say goodbye to our baby in a peaceful, loving way. It meant the world to us to have that space and support. We cant thank Boyd-Horrox-Givnish enough for helping us honor our little one with such tenderness and grace.

We had our mom's celebration of life there today. Days like today are never easy, but I must say that we couldn't have chosen a more suitable location or funeral service to celebrate mom's life. The service and attentiveness exceeded our expectations. Everything was beautifully arranged and flawless, just as mom would have wanted. I firmly believe she was smiling down on us, proud of the celebration. Justin is truly amazing and times life these are never easy and he ensured that everything went well and smoothly. Thank you, Justin.

I can't say enough good things about this place. I guess I'll start with Justin! From the moment I called the facility, he answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease. Not only was he wonderful to talk to, he told me about all the available benefits for my father's burial because he was a veteran. Things that I didn't know about and the VA did not tell me about. He facilitated everything. He took care of the transportation and the scheduling of the services. Justin is patient, kind and goes above and beyond. He offered to record the services for my family that could not make it. His pricing was also very competitive. This should be your one stop shop so to speak. You'll be so happy and relieved that you contacted Justin. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and from my family. We are eternally grateful.

We recently had services for my mom at Raffeo-DiCecco Funeral Home, and I cant say enough about how kind, patient, and supportive Bridget was. She was truly amazing  compassionate, understanding, and so helpful through every step. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect during such a difficult time. Justin was also incredibly kind and professional, making the whole process feel smooth and respectful. Losing a loved one is never easy, but Raffeo-DiCecco made sure we felt supported, cared for, and never rushed. I am truly grateful for their compassion and the way they honored my mom. Highly recommend.

I made arrangements for my mom in advance because she was on hospice. Steve was kind and very helpful. The gentlemen who picked her up were professional and also kind. This isnt a service anyone wants to need but Id recommend Raffeo Dicecco.

I cannot express how accommodating and patient Nichole and her team are! We have been patrons of Johnson's for nearly 30 years and their service has been consistent and unwavering. The level of compassion and care taken with my loved one, me and my family was appreciated right down to some sensitive conversations that were needed. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Kevin and his brother were very professional, caring and patient throughout the entire process of planning and hosting my mothers funeral services.

Volpe Funeral Home is top notch. Kevin Sr and Kevin Jr are terrific and were very supportive and informative throughout the difficult process of setting up my fathers arrangements. Nothing ever felt rushed or too much of a bother. They made my father look almost identical to the person we remember. Thanks again guys.
