"I ordered a casket on Casketsite.com. Big Mistake. When it arrived at Sterling-Ashton Anna contacted me and sent me a photo. It was the wrong casket. A second casket was delivered and once again it wasn't what I ordered. Anna was right on top of the problem. She quickly resolved the problem by sending me photos of available caskets based on my preference. It worked out perfectly. Also, Heather did an amazing job and made my mom beautiful. I can't say enough good things about Anna and Heather. They helped me tremendously through a stressful and difficult time"

"My words cannot express how pleased my family is with the professional, personal, and compassionate services we received at a most difficult time. My Dad lived a great life and lived independently until he died at age 97. Anna and Heather helped us give Dad a great send-off. What we expected to be a sad day became a great day."

She needed to be transported to a third state, and arrangements were coordinated seamlessly between the two funeral homes. The staff always was warm, courteous, responsive and efficient. i have the peace of mind that all my aunt's wishes were carried out."

"Due to Covid, we requested to have my fathers service in the Gazebo at the cemetery. The funeral home worked with the cemetery on the arrangements and it was a safe and comfortable alternative with social distancing. It was well organized. What a wonderful alternative in these trying times! My father, a funeral director himself would have been very pleased."

"Losing my mother was devastating enough and at such a difficult time for the world (COVID-19-19), made for an almost unbearable time to make such decisions for remembering my mom. The outstanding service I received from the staff, particularly Anna and Melissa made this time less difficult and stressful. I briefly mentioned at the beginning of the process how tired I was to my person handling my mother's arrangements, Anna, and when the cemetery called for their end of the arrangements for my mom, they told me they held off calling right away because Anna from the funeral home suggested they let me get some rest. I found that very thoughtful."

"I could not have asked for a better experience at a trying time. The staff was great. Based on our description of my husband ,the staff tailored the keepsakes and the memorial service to his likes. He loved Game of Thrones and there were even Game of Thrones pillows on the settees in the viewing rooms. The people who attended the service only had positive things to say about the service and the staff. It was a truly wonderful experience and I would recommend Sterling-Ashton-Schwab-Witzke to anyone who wants a stress free experience."
