Everyone needs to know about this place. They handled my wife’s celebration of her life. There were some tears, but with the videos, piano player, the beautiful rooms and bar, it just felt right. After some prayers it turned into a real celebration of my wife’s life. The staff is great. They guide you through one of toughest things in your life. All of our friends loved it. We all thought it was beautiful. Nobody had ever been to a funeral like that…that turned into remembering the good times like that. It was so different than any funeral service I have ever been to…with the cocktail hour, the food was great, the video screens all over, the chalk board wall, the video booth, and the music system. At one point our friends all sang to my wife’s favorite song, Spirit In the Sky. I know my wife Terry was looking down singing along.
I just want to thank the staff for making one of the worst things to happen in a person’s life into something that brought all the good memories to life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for really helping heal the pain of loss and making a usually sad and solemn event into a beautiful experience in celebration of my wife’s life. Can’t say enough about it. Her friends all loved it!
Our Response:
Our condolences again Mark on the loss of your beloved wife Terry. Thank you so much for your touching review. The purpose of the Memorial Tribute Gathering at The State Room is to provide families with a unique setting to remember all the best about their loved ones. Your vivid description of our non-traditional funeral setting and positive experience of celebrating Terry’s life is what we work towards every day for Delaware Valley families, and your taking the time to let us know means a lot. Please take care. “Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky. That’s where I’m gonna go when I die. When I die and they lay me to rest, I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best…go to the place that’s the best!”
