Review by Jason M.

FuneralReviewed on November 2, 2025From Pittsburgh, PA

These guys were amazing. I hired Abbot's Cross for my mother's wake. She hated funerals, and wanted something where people were celebrating her life, rather than mourn her death. My cousin and I were talking the day afterwards, and we both agreed that the band was a critical element in letting people know that it was ok to not be miserable, and to reminisce about the happy times. We were still able to mourn, but they helped create something special and I'm very grateful to both of them. As per my mother's wishes, they literally helped put the fun in funeral.

Abbots Cross:

Thank you for your kind words! We were honored to be part of your beautiful celebration of life for your mother.
