Hodges-Josberger Funeral Home

"Our family cannot recommend Dennis Sparks and team highly enough. Everything about the experience was expertly handled with grace and caring. In particular, the unique memorabilia display reflecting my father’s life was beautifully done and is a memory we will treasure forever. Thank you for making a difficult time in our lives such a personalized, caring experience."

"I can’t thank Dennis and everyone at Hodges enough for everything they did to honor my father’s memory. When we first met with Dennis, he spent so much of his time explaining all of the options and steps for funeral arrangements. We were new to this and Dennis held our hand every step of the way. From choosing burial vs cremation to picking the music and prayer cards, Dennis paid attention to every detail. One of the sources of comfort for my family was that his funeral was as comforting as could be possible. Thank you to Dennis for literally holding our hand every step of the way."

"My family had purchased services with Hodges prior to need. When the time came to need their services everything went smoothly as all the arrangements were Lready made. Unfortunately had to have service for my father and then 6 months later for my mother. We could not have been happier with what Hodges did for the service and my family"

"I contacted Hodges-Josberger Funeral Home from the hospital as soon as I knew my husband's death was imminent and their response was immediate. They took care of the body, kept him in refrigeration and arranged for the cremation without needing to contact me after the initial phone call and personal meeting with the director. They took care of informing Social Security as well as the insurance companies. It was a relief not to worry about that."

"PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS!! Today marks one year that my dear mother-in-law passed away. This past year has been very difficult as we miss her terribly but I still find myself more angry and disappointed and just want to make sure no one else ever has to go through an experience like this. For this reason I feel I need to share our unimaginable story. Our family entrusted Hodges-Josberger Funeral Home with the sacred duty of handling the final arrangements for my mother-in-law hoping this would be done with dignity, respect and the utmost care. Dennis was very professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. Tragically, this final act of love did not go as planned. My mother-in-laws final resting place was to be in Pennsylvania with Hodges-Josbergerhandling the arrangements. While making our drive to PA we received a heart wrenching phone call from the receiving funeral home stating that the remains they received did not match the pictures we provided them. This misidentification of her remains left even a bigger hole in our hearts and many unanswered questions. Immediately my husband called Dennis, who eventually confirmed that my mother-in-laws remains were indeed still in Florida. Needless to say they tried to right their wrong and scrambled to drive her remains to Pennsylvania arriving just in time for her viewing, but not in enough time for the receiving funeral home to properly prepare her like she should have been. See, my dad was a funeral director with his own establishment so I know first hand about this process, how important it is to loved ones and the meticulous attention to detail. Never in a million years did I think something like this could or would happen. Likewise, I also feel sorry for the remains and family of Minerva Labelle McGinnis who made an unnecessary and unwanted trip to PA. On this one year anniversary of her death I wanted to purchase the Timeless Touch finger print necklace for my three daughters and my niece but this ordeal makes me question if it’s really her fingerprint! I’m hoping after this incident Hodges-Josberger has implemented improved protocols and training to ensure accuracy and prevent this from ever happening again! To anyone reading make sure they check and double check. The loss of a loved one is a profound and painful experience no one should have to experience this added stress."
