It's seems odd at first to write a raving review on a place that you last saw your mother's body while other family gave their last physical goodbyes. I can't imagine funeral homes getting many reviews to begin with. It's been four months since my mother passed and I wanted to take the time to express my gratitude for the, dare I say, amazing experience I had with Gross Funeral Home. When I was a kid, I remember a radio ad GFH had that explained how they believed a funeral shouldn't be a mourning of someone's death but rather a celebration of someone's life. In particular, I remember the "sharply bent nine iron" golf club the ad mentioned was displayed at a gentleman’s funeral that although not very good, loved to golf. haha. I walked into GFH last year, many years after this ad, hoping their outlook remained the same, to which, I am thankful, it has. I worked with both Robynn and Katarine throughout my mother's funeral and I can't express how grateful I am for the roll these two individuals graciously took during this process. They were both respectful and patient with my many questions. They knew when to make a joke, when to listen, and when to offer advice. They allowed me to be involved and in control as much as desired. Being as much of a perfectionist as I am, I was surprised at how quickly I became confident in both of them that I was able to let go of the many responsibilities they were fully capable of taking care of. I did not feel rushed and was always given time to approve each step and they quickly made any changes necessary with absolutely no shown hard feelings in return. This was my mother and both Robynn and Katarine made me feel that she was just as important to them as she was to me.
