We used J.S. Burkholder Funeral Home, Inc. for our young daughter. Their attention to detail, concern, love, and support during such a difficult time made the entire process extremely smooth. Any request or question presented, was handled with no problems. We never hear the words "No" or "We can't do that". Matthew Brand walked us through the entire process, was available whenever we called, and was with us at the viewing and the burial. Top notch service! Highly, Highly, Highly recommend!
