“My Mother Josephine M. Lanasa passed away on 11 03 22. She was the best human being I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Although everyone was respectful as possible, the fact that I had to carry my mother out of her own house because of the ineptitude of the 2 people sent to retrieve her body. She weighed 135 lbs I myself as her sole surviving Son had to physically remove her body myself. While in shock of my loss, I had to carry my mother out myself. Its something that must be brought to attention. Although the service went well and I do appreciate the employees that did the best they could, I am obligated to post on this fact. I do not think it should be the sole surviving sons responsibility to carry his deceased mother into a van. Just to be told we are sorry and have someone explain to you that he is sorry and needs to put food on his table. That is completely the wrong time and wrong place for that statement. Please think about who you hire to carry someone's loved one to the van, at that time it should not fall on her son. Sincerely Joseph A. Lanasa.”

“Family owned and operated Baltimore Local business. I've known Victor Sr and his parents for over 40 years. Big Victor took the best care of us when my Dad died in 2001. I can't say enough great things about the entire family..I lost my sister a few years ago and I was just as pleased with the services and preperations. I've visited this funeral parlor many times over the years, honoring many friends and family. .You Won't meet a better group of people to take good care of you and your loved ones. Highly recommend.”

“The Doda family at Charles L Stevens Funeral Home treated our family with the utmost professionalism in a loving and caring way. From start to finish arrangements and services were seamless, we did not have to worry about a single detail. I have been to many funerals and have never experienced the level of personalized care that we received. Thank you to the team for helping us through such a challenging time. You are the best!”
