Verified Customer Reviews

Since 2005, many of our customers have taken the time to tell us how we did each year via our Voice of the Customer program. Our star ratings and comments from families come directly from these surveys.

"Our family has used Bernstein's for every funeral in our family for the last 30 plus years. Exceptional service each and every time."

"Rebecca gave us good advice to help us when deciding on services for my stepfather. We never felt pressured to buy anything. She arranged for the burial at the Georgia National Cemetary in Canton and even attended the service. I felt everyone at Bernstein's Funeral Home went above and beyond our expectations to make this difficult time a little easier."

"We didn't have a service at Bernsteins. We had it at our church. So, I couldn't answer some of the questions."
