Givnish Funeral Home

I know it may seem rather macabre to review a funeral home, but I know how clueless my family and I were when my father passed away last spring, so I feel it may be beneficial for others out there to know who provides quality service.
The Givnish family attends our local parish so, when an acquaintance suggested them, we thought «well, why not?». Honestly, it was the best decision we made. Jerry Givnish took immediately took over and made the entire process from beginning to end a breeze for our family. He also did it with grace and respect.
We had two evenings for viewing and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue. It was large enough to hold all of our guests and the many bouquets of flowers as well. There was even a photo slide show of my father that had been set to favorite songs that we had chosen. That was certainly a highlight if you could call it that. I was impressed that we, as the family, were also provided with dinner in a private room in case we needed to sneak away for a moment. One of the staff members even got me a much-​coveted milkshake from Nifty Fifty’s down the road!
The funeral was exactly what my father would have wanted — no pomp and circumstance, no religious fervor. Just family and friends and good music. It truly was a celebration of a life well-​lived. We were even presented with poster-​collages of all the photos we had compiled for the service.
It’s not easy to get everything in line for a burial at Arlington National Cemetery, but Givnish took care of all the paperwork, phone calls, and transport. I really can’t say enough good things about this business — they certainly made the worst time in my life a bit more bearable.
