“My experience with Wilson Apple for the first time was one that I will remember. Asher made me feel calm and spoke in a manner to show he cared about the person I trusted to his care. Every question I asked he gave an answer that helped me make a good decision. The viewing came and my MIL looked so beautiful just as she was while she was alive. Asher is a true gentleman who takes pride in his business and cares about the living as well as the deceased entrusted to him at Wilson Apple. Thank you for your caring and kindness at this time. Respectfully Joann and Ted Warwick.”
“Everything was perfect. The staff went above the call of duty. They made it so much easier, right from the start to the ending. I can't thank them enough. Family & Friends were impressed by it all.”
“Kyle and Braxton are nothing short of amazing they treated my family as though they were burying their own loved one. Kindness, compassion, dignity, and patience are just a few words that come to mind when I think of their service. Their professionalism is like no other, and our business will go to them, hands-down anytime we are in need of burying a loved one. They’re in a class all by themselves.”

650 Lawrenceville Rd, Lawrenceville“As a writer, I'm prone to write a lot of reviews. This one is going to be difficult because I want to write this two days after my mother's funeral; so that my thoughts and gratitude are fresh.My mother (age 97) died while I was far away and headed home. I was not happy with the funeral home we'd chosen for my 97 year old father, so I tried to remember another facility and for some reason, the name, "Poulson Van Hise" popped into my head. Only much later did I realize that I'd walked past the funeral home as a 5-year old on the way to school every day! I hadn't been near there for 70 years!Joe Parrel, owner and descendant of the original founder of PV&H, answered my phone within 10 minutes of my midnight call. I told him that my family had placed the funeral responsibility on me, that Mom was still in bed with her long-term, full-time caregiver grieving beside her. Joe drove to Mom's house and took care of everything, no questions asked.The next few days, Joe carefully explained all of my options. I was directed to a price list that proved to be precisely accurate, there was no "sales" effort. Mom was very thrifty and Joe immediately responded with several suggestions that I would never have guessed. He told me not to worry about anything, and I - a professional worrier - finally learned how to trust a heretofore stranger. And apparently, Joe trusted me, because he never asked for a dime up-front. Total satisfaction was his goal and the goal was met.Joe also proved to be not only a consummate professional (in the science of compassionate care), but also a good friend.My brother, who had planned our father's funeral last year, remarked how much better PV&H was over our previous vendor. Our mother was a strikingly beautiful woman and the ravages of a declining 5 years caused us to worry how she'd look in an open casket. We had no reason to worry. Unlike our Dad, Mom looked radiant. I know that this requires a great deal of scientific knowledge and experience to achieve - in essence a very real art. Joe's staff excelled our most discriminating expectations.Some might say that the expectations of relatives in a situation such as a funeral are often unrealistic and excessive. Well - that's just how it is - grieving brings out the best and the worst in all of us. Should you find yourself reading this and wondering just how you and your family should or will act, have no worries. For Joseph Parrel and his compassionate staff, there are no wrongs and in the end, be assured - it will be all right. Whomever in your family is trusted to make all the choices and decisions, will end up feeling divinely blessed.”

1799 Klockner Rd, Hamilton“We laid our mother to rest in January. These people could not have been more professional or caring. We had over 150 people attend the funeral and viewing on the same day. They handled everything from the casket, instructions on where to park for the car procession, to the mass at St. Mary's Cathedral. They're wasn't any stress on the family and since the family was very emotional, there was not much that was needed for us to do. It was very effortless and eased of minds.
Even at the funeral home when the music wasn't what was anticipated, Carmine was kind enough to let us use the in house Pandora to look up mom's favorite type of music from her country and her fave artist. It made things more of a celebration, instead of a sad goodbye. And that's what mom was, she was festive and loved life. This was exactly what she would have wanted. She looked very nice with her fave dress on and the flower arrangements were perfect. I only wish I had been able to set up a video thru the il chromecast they have set up, but I didn't think it thru before the funeral.
We requested additional bereavement and prayer cards and when I asked how much, they said there was no charge. That says a lot because they know were still grieving and they gave taken care of our family. It's very much appreciated and we thank them for their service. I would recommend them for anyone that's lost their loved one.”
