What Families Say
“Tl;Dr: A local alternative to corporate funeral homes that provides far superior service, and won't treat you as just a number. My family and I are glad to leave another 5 star review for Emmick's Family Funeral Home. My mother recently passed, and while she was going through comfort care, my family and I were reaching out to various funeral homes since the hospital indicated that they can only hold onto the body for no more than 6 hours. I eventually chose Emmick because it's local and family run, they didn't try to ups3ll and make me feel like I was at a car dealership, and because of the reviews I've read. Michael helped us at every step of the process, and provided us with options that worked for us. Sure, as a business, they would love it if we chose the most expensive options, but we were never pressed to do so. He gave us the options, and answered our questions when we had any, and further elaborated if there was more information that we should know. A concern with choosing local over a multistate corporation may be how careful the body is prepared, or how prompt (or not) that the local may be vs the corp, but Emmick did very well with the prep. They were able to garb the body in the culturally appropriate attire that we asked them to, reached out to confirm the look with us, and applied the changes we asked them to. We are very pleased with the final result. We had the funeral shortly after the passing and they were on time and were always able to contacted. It's too bad that Google's AI can't figure out that when ups3ll is mentioned in these reviews, it is done so in the negative context since the folks at Emmick cater to what your family needs.”

“Our family used Emmick after a recent loss of a loved one and we could not have made a better choice. Unlike the bigger corporate funeral homes that try to up sell on everything, there were no such antics from Emmick. Desiree and Michael were caring, compassionate and supportive. Don't look to any other funeral home than Emmick. They are a small family home company and they need to be supported. Thank you Desiree and Michael for the incredible service and your compassion and responsiveness. We appreciate it very much.”
