“Michelle has without a doubt found her calling in her role that many others would find daunting.

Her calm, friendly, warm and welcoming ways helped to guide our family through a profound loss with last minute preparations.

“Madison Memorial Home offers quality service in your time of need. Doug Loikith is professional and understanding as he guides you through difficult experiences. I can only say good things about my continued contacts over 15 years with this business.“

“In one of the most difficult moments of our lives, we were fortunate to be guided through the process by Michael Brown at Bernheim-Apter-Kreitzman Funeral Chapel. His compassion, professionalism, and genuine care helped make an incredibly painful process more bearable.

Michael's prior experience shepherded us through the logistics of a celebration of life service in NJ and a burial in California —he offered comfort, listened with empathy, and paid attention to every request. He was able to locate a caring, flexible rabbi who communicated the right touch and empathy during our sadness. With his assistance we were able to host an informal luncheon afterwards.

Thank you, Michael, for your quiet presence and organized style so that the whole process went smoothly in NJ and California.“

“What a godsend Ryan and the entire staff of Memorial Funeral Home was to me and my family for the unexpected death of our daughter. Their efforts allowed us to grieve through this difficult time while guiding us through the entire process. I can’t say enough good things about them, thanks again Ryan.“

“Recently, my husband passed away.and we chose to use Higgins of Watching because we have used them in the past and knew they are the best in the business! I chose to have a somewhat unconventional funeral this time And Bob who was our director was nothing short of incredible! There was no detail he said no to. Consequently I felt like we gave my husband a send off he would have been happy with.
The room was ample in size for our large group, clean, bright, well maintained and beautiful!
Plenty of water, tissues and mints were provided. And we chose to have a video slideshow, of which was terrific! They made the process seamless in every way! And both owner brothers as well as the entire staff were compassionate, and professional throughout our time there.
I highly recommend this wonderful team for all your funeral needs.“

“My 104 year old Mother passed away and I had her service done at the Bradley Funeral Home in Chatham, NJ. I worked with Patrick and, from the very first meeting, he was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and professional. He made the whole process, from initial planning, to the Celebration of life service and the graveside service, smooth and as stress free as possible. He handled all the details thoroughly and quickly. I was very impressed with his empathy and speed of resolution of any issues that arose. He responded immediately to any of my texts and phone calls. I highly recommend Patrick and the entire staff at the Bradley Funeral Home in Chatham, NJ. They made a difficult time remarkably easy. The services were lovely.“

“We are beyond grateful to Rossi Funeral Home and especially to Bill for guiding us through such a difficult time. From the very beginning, Bill handled every detail of planning with such professionalism, care, and compassion. He walked us through each step, making sure we felt supported and never overwhelmed.

On the day of the services, everything was executed flawlessly—from the wake to the church service to the cemetery for the burial. Bill ensured the entire day flowed smoothly and beautifully, allowing us to focus on honoring and celebrating our loved one without worry. His attention to detail, kindness, and calm presence truly made a difference for our family.

It was a beautiful day and a beautiful tribute, and we couldn’t have asked for better guidance or support. Thank you, Bill, and thank you Rossi Funeral Home, for helping us through this with such grace. We truly appreciate you.“

They guided us through each step of the process with clarity and respect, helping to ease the burden during such an emotional time. The service was beautifully arranged — dignified, heartfelt, and exactly what we envisioned to honor our father’s memory.

Special thanks to Joanna, Megan and Anne for going above and beyond. Their support made a world of difference to our family, and we truly felt like we were in caring hands throughout.

We highly recommend Hagan-Chamberlain Funeral Home to any family in need of compassionate and professional funeral services.“

“Brown's Funeral Home did an excellent job on my 94 year old father. I was able to meet with them right away. They assisted me with have my father's body transported to Florida. They were caring and compasionate ❤“

“As other reviewers have said, I agree 100%, Craig is the best!! Super personable. Can't say enough positives about him. Thanks so much for helping us with the loss of our mother. HIGHLY recommended!!“

“This is a pretty small but incredibly beautiful church. Both of my nephews were baptized here in intimate family gatherings. I've never attended an actual Catholic mass here, but I can't say enough about the ornate detailing and serene atmosphere. The grounds outside are nice to sit in before and after, with a little stream and bridge over top.“

“I would like to thank Dan Rica for his compassion, patience, and kindness in helping my family plan my dad's funeral in September. Everything about the funeral and graveside service went as well as possible. Dan let us know that, as a veteran, my dad was entitled to have the Honor Guard at the cemetery, which was something I wasn't familiar with. He told us we needed to find my dad's discharge papers, and allowed me to take a photo and send it to him. Everything about the process was easy and stress-free, thanks to Dan's help and answering all of our questions. I would highly recommend Menorah Chapels should you find yourself in the unfortunate position of having to plan a funeral.“

“Quinn -Hopping did a fantastic job managing my mother's funeral. Everyone was a pleasure to work with and relieved the stress of a difficult time. I highly recommend their services.“

“During one of the most difficult times in my life Brennen made everything easy!!! He was attentive, very helpful and sympathetic. The ease of communication with my preferred method (he offered text, email, phone calls) was amazing and appreciated!
The word I can use to describe my experience with Brennen at Rowe is effortless. I HIGHLY recommend 10/10!!!“

“We recently held our mother’s funeral services at McCriskin-Gustafson’s Home for Funerals in South Plainfield, and during such an incredibly difficult time, the care and compassion we received made all the difference.

Jimmy, Ricky, Jack, Kerri, Harry, and the entire staff treated our family with the utmost respect, professionalism, and kindness. Your support, attention to detail, and genuine compassion helped ease some of the burden during our time of grief.

Our mom looked peaceful, well-rested, and truly beautiful—something that brought us great comfort. We are deeply grateful for everything you’ve done and want to sincerely thank you for the dignity and care you showed our family.

With heartfelt appreciation,
The DiMaria Family“

“Leonardis gave my father a beautiful service. They made a difficult time very easy and their compassionate top tier service was remarkable.“

“I am writing to say a huge thank you to Mary Ann and her team for their compassionate and professional services following my mom's passing. I was particularly concerned about having an open casket, but they honored her beautifully. She looked as though she was sleeping peacefully. Your kindness and attention to detail made an incredibly difficult time a little easier, and for that, I will always be grateful. Thank you again for you care and support.“

“I chose Bradley, Smith and Smith when I knew I would need to prearrange my loved one's eventual passing and could not have been more pleased with the people who helped me through the process. They have my stellar recommendation.“

“My family, relatives and I have been to this place years ago this was because to bring flowers there and to pay the respect of our relatives that have passed away and their urns there.“

“Plinton-Curry Funeral Home provided Stellar service for my Mommy COOL. My initial call to the main telephone number was received by someone who answered with respectful questions about how they could be of service. I told them we were in Florida and wanted to keep my Mommy with me forever. I was informed that it was not possible, but they definitely could bring my Mommy back from Florida without a problem. Low and behold, COOL was back in NJ in no time. Plinton-Curry made contact to a minimum but completed all tasks beyond exceptional: the care of the body, contract for arrangements, programs including an online link on the day of the services, a day before viewing, and Homegoing Service, and calls afterward to check in on our family and to see if we need anything, even way after the bill was satisfied. This review comes from Cheryl Skeete, which means the world. Please continue providing your 5-star service to all.“

“Galante provided a lovely, peaceful funeral for my loved one. Dana was totally professional, competent, respectful and caring throughout, leading us through the difficult process with grace and respect. The only caveat I must mention is that though Dana consulted with her superior in our presence about the costs of the services we requested, and he signed the contract in our presence, we were notified just prior to our first viewing the following day that additional money was required. This placed us in a terrible, indelicate position at a very emotional moment. Who would question additional fees at such a time? Seemed a bit like extortion to me.
All in all, I’d highly recommend Galante (Ask for Dana), but insist they honor their original price and contract.“
