“Very Professional, efficient, caring in a families time of need. In my case needed to transport a family member to Europe. Handled in a timely and stress free way. Thank you Vander Plaat Funeral home Connor and staff excellent. Highly recommend.“

“Beautiful service for a dear friend’s young son . They were so attentive, caring and thoughtful.“

“Let me just say...Anthony truly brought our vision to life. My mother’s tribute is beyond our expectations. Her sudden “retirement from life” was devastating, to say the least, but Anthony made sure every detail honored our wishes and allowed us to use a custom design that captured her perfectly.
Ironically, my mother herself used Sgobba’s services years ago for my grandmother and cousin, and without a doubt, we knew we didn’t want to go anywhere else. Hopefully, we won’t need another monument anytime soon, but when that time comes, Sgobba’s is the only one I trust.“

“Angelo is so compassionate and helped us through a difficult time after losing our son. The monument is nothing short of perfection“

“I felt comfortable and at ease from start to finish. They took great care of my beloved Matriarch and I will never forget it ❤️.“

“Having just lost our mom to cancer—she passed away at home after hospice care—our family contacted Edwards Funeral Chapel. I’m so glad we did.

Jake, the Funeral Director, arrived early that morning to pick up her body. From the very first moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He was compassionate, thoughtful, and treated our mom with dignity and respect.

Later that day, Jake met with me and my siblings to make the arrangements. He gently guided us through the process without any pressure. Together, we chose the casket and cards that we knew Mom would have been happy with.

When the time came for the wake, Jake and his staff welcomed our family, friends, and colleagues with the utmost care and respect. This is clearly a family-run business, and their dedication shows in everything they do.

The facilities are excellent—warm, clean, and comforting—with coffee and tea available. The website also offered a beautiful tribute wall where people could leave messages, plant a tree in Mom’s honor, or send flowers. There were monitors to play family videos and show photos, and quiet spaces where we could sit, talk, grieve, and share memories of Mom.

I wish I could give a higher rating than five stars. Please don’t go anywhere else. Trust Jake and his team with your loved one—I’m so grateful we did.“

“Losing my mother this past April was the hardest experience of my life, but Scanlon’s Funeral Home in Pequannock, New Jersey made the entire process truly special and meaningful. From the moment we walked in, the staff was exceptionally caring, supportive, and attentive to every detail. There was never any pressure—everything was handled with respect for my needs, my pace, and my emotional comfort. The facility is modern, welcoming, and comforting—updated beautifully while still feeling warm and personal. They even provided delicious cookies, boxed water, and thoughtful touches that truly made us feel at home during such a difficult time. One of the most memorable moments was the balloon release they helped us arrange, adding a touching and unforgettable element to the service. I’m deeply grateful for the compassion, professionalism, and genuine care they showed to my family. Scanlon’s made an incredibly hard time a little easier, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs their services.“

Santiago and Jodi were truly amazing, walking us through every step with professionalism and genuine compassion. They were always patient and understanding, which is exactly what we needed as we said goodbye to our beloved Papa.
Thanks to their guidance and care, we were able to honor him in the grand and respectful way he deserved. The service was beautiful and everything was handled with such dignity.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 10/10 service, we couldn’t have asked for more. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Gaita if you are in need of a funeral home.
