Dietrich Funeral Home

"Handling a funeral for a non-family member could have been difficult, but with Dietrich it was easy and full of kindness and grace. Each person I interacted with took extra steps to respectfully honor our deceased friend. Tim provided gentle professional guidance every step of the way, and Charlie went the extra mile in proposing a personal headstone design that so perfectly met our friend's love of Latin. Tim found the perfect priest to work with us, and he spoke so beautifully about our friend, even surprising us by including some Latin in the service. I would highly recommend the thoughtful folks at Dietrich to anyone navigating the practical side of death. Thank you, Dietrich - I'm grateful."

"I recommend Dietrich Funeral Home 100%. Tim and his staff exude the utmost of professionalism and sincerity. This is truly a calling for them and they are very likable and friendly as a group. Frankly, it feels like they are part of the family with how the way they interact with and support everyone through the process. We came to know Dietrich with the sudden passing of our Aunt Nancy in 2021 and instantly knew that this was the place we would go to when it came time for our parents' arrangements. When it came time for preplanning these arrangements in December of 2023, Tim took the time to meet with us and make us feel comfortable with the process. He was very responsive and respectful of our wishes and didn't try to sell us anything we didn't want. He did a solid week of research on several Ohio funeral homes who would handle local services before transport to Buffalo for the larger, family services. He picked three great options to give us flexibility when the time came, all with pricing and his recommendation. Little did we know that the plan would be put in motion three weeks later! Tim acted as the single point of contact, maintaining control over all the Ohio operations including making calls at 3:00am right after the passing. It was reassuring to know we had someone on our side through the whole process, even as it was happening 300+ miles away from Dietrich and Tim. The local services were excellent, the transport to Buffalo was efficient and the services in Buffalo were beyond our expectations. In the background, the church of choice advised it couldn't host the funeral so Tim found an even better solution and an incredible Priest for the services. Small things-- we had boxes of photos to display and a time crunch to find a a place for a luncheon. Tim wouldn't let us put up the photos-- he insisted that his team would do it. We had done this ourselves at the Ohio services and thought we did well, but Tim and his staff are on a different level! Way better than we could have ever imagined. In short, you can trust Tim and his staff at Dietrich. While I hope it's later rather than sooner, we will unquestionably be returning to Dietrich when our mother passes and know 100% that we are good hands."

"Dietrich funeral home far surpassed all expectations. My father passed away a couple months ago unexpectedly. When my mom, sister, and & I showed up to Dietrich Funeral home we were greeted by Kelly and later on introduced to Tim. They took a process that is normally so painful and complicated and made it run even smoother than I could have imagined. Tim was truly incredible, he even came out to talk to my sister and I and give us words of encouragement. Kelly was also phenomenal. She stayed with us every step of the way & communicated throughout the entire process. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dietrich Funeral home. Thank you guys so much."

"A few years ago, we lost a sister unexpectedly. Buffalo General Hospital guided us to Dietrich Funeral Home in Amherst, assuring us that we would be well taken care of, and we were not disappointed. They were so good to us and held our hand through all the details of this very sad time in our lives.Recently we lost our mother, again unexpectedly. We did not hesitate to contact them again. Robert at Dietrich handled every detail with such care and compassion you would have thought it was his own family member. The professional service and care that was given to our loved ones will not be forgotten. I could not recommend Dietrich Funeral Home more! You will not be better taken care of anywhere!"

"Jed, Tim, John, Dan, Sharon and the rest of the Dietrich team could not have done a better job when my Dad passed away. They were caring, efficient, and ready to help at a moment's notice. Every little detail was attended to. Our family has done business with Dietrich Funeral Homes of decades, and will continue to do so."
