My sisters and I CAN NOT say ENOUGH WONDERFUL things about Eric Pitman. We had a disastrous outcome elsewhere and within minutes of deciding to relocate our deceased Father to Pitman, we knew we had made the right decision by calling Pitman. Within an hour, Pitman had our Father and called us personally to let us know our Dad was in his care. He made a horrific and emotional time so smooth. We are just so grateful and happy with the outcome. Choose Pitman!

They never return your phone call to answer our questions. Beth took our check and disappeared. All we get are excuses and no answers.

After my father passed suddenly, the last thing I wanted to do was go to the funeral home. Knowing my parents had pre-arranged their funerals. My mother passed 3/2019 then my father passed 7/2019. Highly recommended Steve. He made the experience so much easier.

I want to thank Eric Pitman , Maria Schneider and the staff for working with us on our sons somewhat unusual funeral wishes. You helped me make my wife’s wishes come true during these darkest days. You have… taken care of my grandparents, my parents and my daughter with never one complaint. Thank you , your dad and your staff so much and you never pushed us in any way, I so appreciate it.

Attended service today. Being from out of state, we were not familiar with the property. There was no one at the door to give directions. No one in the parking lot to help with cars or line for going to the cemetery. The little room the service was in was too small for the crowd who gathered to honor the deceased. We were crammed in like sardines and folks were very uncomfortable. The staff who guided the service were very institutional and cold. The facility was clean and beautiful furnished.

When the phone was answered, I asked to set up an appointment to see someone for pre-paid funeral services for my wife and myself. I was asked and gave my… name and phone number and was told someone would call me back that day. It I now THURSDAY, and I have heard NOTHING from Pitman Funeral Home.
