Loss is so devastating. In this extremely emotional time, Chris made us feel very comfortable and calm in making decisions that needed to be made in a timely manner. The environment is very comforting for grieving and connecting. Everyone was respectful to our family and did their best to honor our wishes.
Cant say enough about how wonderful my experience was with Chris James and his entire staff. They made those difficult days of losing our mom so very easy for us. They responded quickly to our questions; they treated us with such respect and care. I dont know how I would have gotten through that week without their guidance and assistance. Even though I live out of town, they did pretty much everything via the phone and computer. Could not have been more accommodating. They have another place in Lake Ariel as well. Just cant thank them enough for all they did for our family. 5 stars indeed!! Exceptional!! -Trish Scalese, New Jersey
It is truly comforting for a family to experience such care, thoughtfulness, and compassion when planning the funeral of their father. Every question was answered, and any concerns were handled with understanding and professionalism. Our family deeply appreciates your help during this difficult time. Losing a loved one is never easy, but having everything handled with such grace made the process so much easier. Thank you, Chris, and everyone at Vanston and James Funeral Home. The family of John Higgins
