Emmanuel Johnson Funeral Home, Inc.

“My experience was everything and more than a disappointment and disaster. Took several days to pick up my father’s body, causing the delay of his embalming process, and wanted to place additional fees after the signing of our contract for my father’s services. Also, publicly placed my father’s death on their website, the Philly Tribune, and now on the internet (google) with their establishment listed under without our consent. A complete violation of our privacy as well as a threat to our protection. Confronted Bethany, who told me her mother was incompetent to further practice and using forceable measures to have her retire, she told me that I was responsible for removing my father’s post. However, they were the ones who placed it there. They didn’t return my father’s extra clothing I provided, and during his viewing, article of clothing wasn’t placed that I had to inquire about. Drove in the wrong direction after his service causing more turmoil on us as a family. If you value your loved one the way I valued mine, Emmanuel Johnson Funeral Home IS NOT the place to go.”

“Was there for a service, the place is needs an upgrade and a vacuum. It was almost comical of how dusty and antiquated that place was ..very small and dirty. Very ancient no technology no upgrades very last century did I mention that is was dirty? The lady with the locs extremely rude, but again I was just there for the service. I mean if you're going to look like you got everything from a thrift store, it doesn't mean it needs to be dirty too... there's no excuse for that..”

“A funeral home is not the most desired place to visit. Unfortunately, on two different occasions in the last few years, both of my parents died. Most recently, my father died last week (October 2024.) My five-star review is for the supportive staff at Emmanuel Johnson Funeral Home. When my father’s body was picked up, Jade softened the blow with his compassion by making sure we understood the process and asking if we were ok to view the process. Additionally, after the service ended, Eugene asked about the flowers (where to place them, meaning at the cemetery or the repass room). I wondered if the funeral limo could drive by my Dad’s home route to the cemetery- accommodated by Eugene. Finally, assisting with getting leftovers from the repass into our vehicles.”
