From the moment I called them to retrieve my husband from the hospital, they brought him into their care and kept me informed every step of the way. Due to family availability, we had to do the visitation and funeral 2 weeks after my husband passed. I was a little apprehensive at first, not knowing how he would look after such a long time. I was amazed. He truly looked like he was sleeping. Thank you, Levi, Christine and Laura for your warmth, compassion, professionalism and, most of all, an incredible job. You are truly masters of your science. I would recommend highly to anyone in need of funeral services. If I could give them 100 stars , I would.“

“I can’t say enough about how well cared for we felt by Phillip and the wonderful team at Montclair-Lucania. No one wants to plan a funeral, but they made the process stress-free and added thoughtful touches that made the service truly special. The banquet-hall style room suited my father so much more than a traditional space, and the catering area, and overflow spaces gave our family room to gather comfortably. A beautiful slideshow, table for family photos and artifacts, and a Bluetooth speaker for my dad’s favorite songs turned the atmosphere into more of a celebration of life than a somber occasion.

The team’s attention to detail was amazing, from providing wheelchairs and walkers when needed, to coordinating everything seamlessly on the day of. The building itself is lovely, with ample parking, so it was very easy for our guests.

Most of all, Phillip’s professionalism and kindness stood out, even as he took my family’s offbeat humor in stride during such a difficult time. I would choose Montclair-Lucania and Phillip again without hesitation. Thank you for making such a hard moment feel easier, and for honoring my father so beautifully.“

From our first phone call with Karen to our initial meeting with Jay Smith, the funeral director, we knew we were in good hands. Jay took the time to get to know my family and learn about my mother, explaining every step of the process with clarity and compassion. The professionally printed documents he provided were a huge help during a difficult time.

On the day of the funeral, Jay's patience and leadership were exemplary, from guiding the caravan to ensuring every detail was perfect. It was clear that for Jay and the entire team, this isn't just a job—they genuinely care. Kirstin, Raul, and the rest of the staff all showed the same high level of customer service.
​Smith-Corcoran made a very sad day bearable. We are so grateful for their professionalism and empathy, and we know my mother would have been extremely proud of how beautifully everything was handled.
