Where do I start? My brother’s cremains were delivered to me last Tuesday and I had read that a funeral home can transfer the cremains from the box they were in to the urn of our choice. I had called a known funeral in home on Barrett Ave and was told that because they didn’t handle his services, they could not help me transfer his ashes. I called St. Joseph, spoke to one of the funeral directors, Eddie De Loa, and he said he’d do the transfer on the same day.

Signs would have been a nice notification that they will be closing at 5. Signs like the ones they used to tell us about headstone decorations and such. Instead I was told by an overwhelmed security guard, he was not as nice as I would have liked but I could tell he was doing the best he could. In a place where our loved ones are laid to rest I would have expected a little more respect from the staff and not let one guard tell over 20 plus cars that they have to leave. Help the poor guy out.
I have family buried here from decades ago. I think the maintenance of the grounds has gone continually downhill. Gravesites are horrible underkept, huge weeds, very long grass and dog poop everywhere. I will be going there now, with my weed whacker to at least cleanup my family’s gravesites
