I have written this over and over again and nothing seems to be able to convey the gratitude and respect I have for David Storke and his team. To make a very long story short – I started a job as an executive assistant and on my first day my boss’ father passed away. He was going to be buried in Arlington cemetery which has a 3 month average wait if not more. My boss asked me to do everything I could to make this happen immediately. I worked endlessly for the next week and a half to make this happen.

David Storke was one of my first calls to the DC area after some very discouraging calls to Arlington. He helped me every single step of the way. He assured me from the beginning that I could call him day or night anytime and he would help me if he could. This was also while assuring me that he did not expect me to use his funeral home – he genuinely just wanted to help me. I have never experienced such kindness; not to mention his knowledge on Arlington and the process was beyond any single other person I spoke to, including Arlington cemetery.

Some way, somehow I was able to secure a date within the week at Arlington cemetery. This all happened very quickly and with decisions changing every second I had not even thought to double check that David Storke’s Arlington location had a place to hold a wake. (Keep in mind they do – it was just not possible for our day/time). David Storke helped me think of every solution and while it seemed that if we were going to do the wake the only possible outcome was to switch funeral homes my heart was crushed. This man helped me for hours and hours. I couldn’t imagine telling him we now had to switch. But of course HE EMAILED ME to let me know he completely understood that we may need to switch and there were no hard feelings. He had worked HOURS on my case.

Highly recommending truly seems like an insult for how I feel about this man and his business. This is the ONLY place to go for funeral homes in DC/Arlington Cemetery. He even checked in on the day of services to ask how everything went. He recommended other funeral homes for me. I am bewildered by this man’s professionalism, kind heart and overall clear conscience to do the right thing. You will not find a more genuine business ANYWHERE in ANY INDUSTRY. I owe David Storke and his team a lot. My hope is that people read this and know this is the best business I have ever come into contact with and will exclusively use them.

THANK YOU DAVID STORKE AND TEAM I will be forever grateful.
