The funeral home also offers grief support resources, including a “Circle of Friends” program that provides helpful information via text and email to guide families through the grieving process and settling affairs.

The facility itself is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot. On-site parking is available, and the location is convenient for families from Bernville and neighboring communities such as Akron, Annville, Birdsboro, Cressona, Denver, Ephrata, Fleetwood, and Hamburg.
