The loss of a parent is a really difficult time. All the staff at Modell are true professionals. They were all so helpful and kind and we felt like family. They made everything look so great. They even reached out afterwards to see how we were coping with our loss. I can't say enough about how caring they were in our time of greif.

Modell Funeral Home & Cremation Services handled my father's services beautifully. They were very professional, caring and offered support during a very difficult time. In addition, they go over and beyond to insure that every question is answered, every detail is completed and they strive to help with all arrangements for the grieving family. My family has used Modell Funeral Home & Cremation Services for many of our family and extended family and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services!

Modell handled my father-in-laws funeral and wake. From the moment they were contacted, through the end of the funeral luncheon they were totally on top of each aspect of the arrangements. The entire staff was very empathetic and customer focused, but special mention for Andrew, who seemed to be everywhere. Whatever could be done to ease the stress of ensuring that things ran smoothly, Andrew did. And kept my wife, her brother, and my mother-in-law informed through it all. Modell even coordinated the Navy servicemen and playing of taps at the cemetery.
Modell was totally thorough, professional

The sound at the funeral for my niece was horrible. When my nephew spoke we could hear very little of what he said bc the echo was so loud. It got a little better towards the middle of the Catholic service, but still missing much of the words. I am 2,500 miles away and only days away from 5 surgeries in 15 months, so I couldn't travel home for Liz. So sad. Apparently you use better equipment for some bc their reviews were good.

Amazing!!! My dad just passed a few weeks ago and Modell staff treated us like family. They were kind and nurturing throughout the arranging of my dads wake and funeral. Never said to no to anything that we asked of them. The day of my dads wake, we walked into the room and we felt we were in heaven with the way they set everything up for us to honor and remember my dad.
Special "Thank You" to Ryan and John for helping us get though this rough time with my family.
Best around, hands down.
Thank you again from the Sciullo Family.
