I highly recommend Modell Funeral home. My Dad passed and had everything pre-planned. It made everything so much easier for us and Robert was caring and very helpful. Thank you Modell staff for making a difficult time easier for the family.

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
