About Garner Funeral Service

Garner Funeral Service is a full-service funeral home in Potsdam, NY, operating as part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in North America — families who prefer locally or independently owned funeral homes should be aware of this. Traditional burial services start at $9,922, which families should compare against other providers in the Potsdam area to assess fit for their budget; no direct cremation pricing was available for this summary. Staff member Cory is mentioned by name in nearly every review, consistently praised for his responsiveness, clear communication, compassion, and willingness to personalize services without pressuring families toward upgrades — reviewers also highlight the quality of cosmetology and preparation work. Garner holds a 5.0-star rating across 30 Google reviews, a strong score though the relatively modest review volume is worth keeping in mind when weighing overall consistency.

I can't thank garner funeral home enough for all they have done for our family this last week. They made a complicated time of our lives so smooth and easy for our family. Cory was awesome! I cannot say enough good things about his wife's detail to makeup! She did such an amazing job! Would highly …

I’m not sure there are words to describe how helpful, kind and responsible Cory and Nicole were. I planned my mother’s entire services from out of state without any issue. Cory did SO much to help get things moving and then solidified. He was extremely helpful even when we decided after the services…

Cory helped me beyond expectations from the moment I called him ( he quickly arranged to pick up and transport my father), was clear in process so I was never left unsure what was happening or what the next steps were. He also allowed my family to personalize our service, and never trued to 'upsell'…
