"Our family cannot put into words how overwhelmed we were with your compassion, attention to detail and sincerity in our time of sorrow. You just came in and took over and everything was beautiful.

"I would be remiss if I did not say a sincere "thank you" for all of your help. Your accommodation, fairness, reasonableness and assistance were invaluable to me, and I particularly appreciate that you went out of your way in so many instances to provide the most appropriate services under very difficult circumstances. I take particular note of the fact that you were kind enough to provide a refund to our account, even though, without any question or complaint, you could have certainly kept the entire pre-paid amount that we provided as I see there were additional expenses. In a time when so many of us are faced with companies and individuals who are only concerned about "the bottom line", it is a pleasure to see there are still a few honest and forthright people left in the business community. "If I am ever asked for funeral service in the southern portion of Cape May County, rest assured, I will without hesitation, recommend your firm."

"We wanted to thank you for the extra care you took when preparing our father. He looked just the way we remembered him a few years ago when he was a more vibrant person. Your caring ways showed throughout, everything went exactly the way we wanted. We thank you for the extras you so graciously provided, and we will always be grateful. Sincerely."

In the last 10 years, I have had 4 family members laid to rest through Spilker Funeral Home. The most recent was just last week with passing of my mother-in-law Marty Halbruner. At a time when you are most vulnerable and lost in despair, Dennis Spilker guides you and makes the process as uncomplicated as is possible. He has enormous compassion for those family members trying to make decisions when their ability to think clearly has obviously been compromised by sadness. When my husband passed, I was numb and felt like I had been swallowed up by a giant hole. Dennis was there for me and my family, helping us navigate our way through the devastation to honor David. In the last week, I have been to a funeral at Evoys and a funeral at Spilker. There was nothing wrong with the funeral at Evoys but it is the details that Dennis does so incredibly well. Something that seems so simple at first glance, becomes apparent after a while that it was not so simple, that every component was carefully thought out and executed. Thank you Dennis and staff for making what can be the hardest day of your life, a little more bearable with your kindness and grace.

"You were right when you said over the telephone when we talked that no matter what our relationship is with our parents, their passing has a profound effect. You were so kind from the day we spoke on the phone to taking the time to make sure that me and my son were in our rightful place at the church, in the procession and at the cemetery. I am very grateful to you for the care you showed me because you truly made me feel included and a special part of my father's life. I know my Dad would be very appreciative to you as well for making sure I was an important part of the day. Thank you again for your kindness and support."

"There are no words to thank you for everything you did to make my Dad's passing bearable. You helped us make his special day a true celebration of his life. From the video, to choosing a terrific minister, the photo prayer cards and everything else large and small. Special thank you for allowing me to bring Dad's clothes and dressing him in them prior to his cremation. Dad would have wanted it that way...he hated that hospital gown. Your kindness will never be forgotten."

"It seems odd to me to say it was a pleasure doing business with you considering the business, but, you made [our loved one's] final send off so beautiful and pleasant. I am very grateful that God led us to you to take care of us. You did a fabulous job and I just wanted to tell you that."
