I was devastated by my wife’s sudden passing. The Downingtown location was being renovated, so we used the West Chester location instead. Amazing people! They took care of all the arrangements, more than they were required to.
The memorial video they made from our pictures was absolutely amazing! They made extra pictures for me to keep at no charge, and answered my “ constant “ emails quickly.
They normally don’t use two people in the prayer card photo, but they did for us, and it is wonderful!
The directors at Donohue were absolutely amazing. I have received many comments on how beautiful the service for me late husband was. The compassion they showed was above and beyond.
The Donohue Funeral Home (A family business for 4 generations so far!) went above and beyond for our memorial service. We wanted to do an "inside out" service where most of the attendees were on Zoom and a dozen people were in person. Mike Donohue, Kim Henry and their very smart media team went out of their way to make sure that the experience was a meaningful one whether the guests were online or in the room. They arranged for a beautiful slideshow on the screens when the Zoom meeting was not showing, managed all of the sound considerations of the speakers and the music and provided beautiful flowers, posters, prayer cards, programs--everything you could possibly want with little need for anything from us. Mike also personally accompanied us to the grave site where a deacon (also seamlessly arranged by the Donohue Funeral Home) spoke kindly and effectively. They even set up a tent and comfortable chairs to shield us from the rainy downpour, remnants of a hurricane. We could not have been more pleased with the service they provided, right down to the attention to details afterward to be sure we were taken care of properly. Highly recommended and grateful for all of their amazing help. We are from out of state and could not have done it without them!
I never thought I'd be writing a review for a funeral home, but I just wanted to share our experience in the hope that it helps others experiencing a loss and to commend Donohue. Donohue made the heartbreaking process of memorializing my father following his sudden passing as smooth as possible. My family and I were so impressed with Mike's responsiveness, care and attention to detail. It was a great comfort to us to have such a kind and compassionate group of people to handle the funeral arrangements. Mike did such a beautiful job personalizing the services and making sure everything was handled. I would highly recommend Donohue to anyone in the unfortunate position of looking for a funeral home.
I discovered Donohue Funeral Home through the Afford Cremation Society of Delaware Valley website. I was impressed by the Donohue website and the clarity in which everything was explained and offered. I made a pre-planned arrangement for a family member. Everyone was helpful, answered all my questions and were quick to respond. I truly felt that every person I dealt with showed true empathy and caring. My family member passed much sooner than anticipated and Donohue responded quickly and thoughtfully. Some difficulties arose, which they again, handled thoughtfully and managed for me, helping keep my own stress at bay. I appreciate the kindness and caring in my entire experience with Donohue and highly recommend them.
