Reviews of E. Franklin Griffiths Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Inc. (Mortuary)

Steve Daderko

I had occasion to use the services of Griffiths Funeral home twice in the past year or so. My mother-in-law passed away in March 2018, and my father passed away in December of 2018. In both cases I found Griffiths Funeral Home to be caring and very knowledgeable in the process for dealing with the associated paperwork. In the case of my mother-in-law, it involved transporting her to Pittsburgh for internment and coordinating the events in Pittsburgh.

When my WW II Veteran Father started hospice the head nurse asked if the arrangements has been made yet, Since they had not she suggested I start calling around to local Funeral Homes. So I took her advice and made a list of 10 local places in White Haven, Freeland, Drums and Weatherly. I started calling down the list inquiring about direct cremation services which was my Father`s written wishes, I cannot tell you my revulsion at the despicable people I had conversations with. They all asked breathlessly if a family member had died. When told no they wanted to know if a family member was about to die. When I would say no that I just wanted some pre-planning pricing quotes you could hear the disappointment in their voices. They then all turned into used car salesmen, offering me today and today only five to eight hundred dollars off their standard cremation costs if I signed up today and the quotes were all high and some downright ridiculous. Finally I connected with Sank and not only did he have the best price he sounded like a really nice human being. Upon meeting Sank he was everything he sounded like on the phone and much more. He was one of the finest, kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met in my life. I really cannot say enough about this man, he is the genuine article. You will not regret entrusting your loved ones last chapter of life to the care and stewardship of Franklin Griffith III.

Sank Griffiths and Staff have been a god send with not only helping my father plan my stepmoms funeral but with helping him deal with all the paperwork that comes after. I really don’t know what or where we would be right now without all of your time, help and generosity over the past few months. Thank you so much from my Father, myself and our family!

I rarely take the time to write online reviews of anything. Either something has to be really bad, or really good. Luckily, my experience with Griffiths Funeral Home is in the latter camp. A relative of mine recently passed away unexpectedly in PA and I live out of state. Since I was the closest next of kin, some of the responsibility of getting her laid to rest (and all the other things that pop up when someone dies) fell onto me. Sank Griffiths and his staff at Griffiths Funeral Home were very helpful during the process. I don't think I could have done it without them. They made a situation that was very stressful and upsetting for me fairly smooth, all things considered. Nothing personal, but I hope to never be a customer of theirs again. You get what I mean. But in the very unlikely event that happens, I wouldn't hesitate to call on them.

If anyone truly needs compassion and understanding in their lives it is when you lose a loved one. Sank and Sandy from Griffith Funeral Home/Phillip Jeffries Funeral Home have been a blessing to myself and my family. They have everything under control for the family all you need is to ask. They do the legwork so you don't have to. The meal after the service was all I needed to plan. They handled everything with respect and helped me through the most difficult time in my life when I lost my father. I will be eternally grateful for their professionalism and ability to handle anything. Thank you Sank and Sandy. You are the best. God bless you both. Bonita Barbush Urban

Dealing with the death of a family member is overwhelming to say the least. The undertakings of what immediately follows easily compound the stress. So many decisions in a short period of time! The day after my father's death, we met with Sank Griffiths to start making arrangements. From the first introduction, I could tell we were in good hands. Throughout the entire process, we received much more than just the expected funeral related services. Sank and the rest of the staff proved that they truly care. They will go the extra mile to help you through the difficult decisions and tasks associated with the death of a loved one. First class service and care! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
