The funeral home is a comforting place for the family. They displayed our pictures very nicely. The color guard, music, etc. was perfect. The service was beautiful & gave our family such comfort during a difficult time. Thank You!

I have nothing but good things to say about the services provided. Everything was very professional and the entire staff was caring and compassionate. The appearance of my mother was absolutely beautiful. This is an enormous comfort to the family. I particularly appreciated the private time with my mother the day before the services, and the funeral home gave me all the time I needed.

I would like to thank the staff at Sharer-Stirling-Skivolocke for the kindness, understanding & caring concern with the loss of the love of my life; husband, father, brother & friend. Every detail was attended to & all my wishes were addressed, professional care & top notch attention to all details were considered and the utmost satisfaction was the result for me & my family. The follow up after the service and taking care to distribute the floral arrangements to area nursing homes so others could enjoy them was much appreciated. The overwhelming sadness during our loss was attended to as well as counseling offered if needed now or in the future. Consider this staff and facility when your time of need arises... it's a basic fact that it's inevitable for you and your loved ones. It is a total peace of mind that your final wishes are handled with care and respect.
