“We are very satisfied with the service provided by Edwards Funeral Chapel. This was the first death in our family, and we had no idea how to handle everything. Jack, the Funeral Director explained the entire process to us with great patience and assisted us with all the arrangements step by step.
Our family is Polish, and he was very understanding and respectful of our traditions and needs. Everything was handled with the highest level of dignity, compassion, and professionalism. During such a difficult time, their support meant more to us than words can express.
The burial was in Pennsylvania, over a 2-hour drive away, and everything was coordinated with the church there smoothly and respectfully. Josh, the driver, was extremely professional and respectful, guiding our family step by step throughout the process and making sure everything went properly.
Compared to some other funeral homes we looked at, their pricing was also very reasonable for such a high-quality level of service and care.
The funeral home itself is also beautifully done inside — very clean, welcoming, and recently renovated, which created a peaceful and comforting atmosphere for our family and guests.

We highly recommend this funeral home to anyone looking for compassionate, respectful, and professional service. We truly cannot thank them enough for making this painful experience a little easier for our family.“

Scanlan’s is top notch for beauty, light, and peace, along with accommodations for children’s room equipped with games on computers. We loved having coffee within your beautiful appointed room, with the fireplace going. I was so happy that your establishment made it uplifting and very nice, with our sadden hearts.
Thank you Meghan for your help and kindness.“

“I highly recommend John Manke at Manke Funeral Home for all of your funeral needs! My father passed away very unexpectedly and we had no idea where to begin. I was referred to John and was able to speak with him a short time later, despite it being late at night. He began the process immediately and was there every step of the way. We had difficulties getting in touch with the medical examiners office in NYC and he was able to get in touch with them quickly and put everything into motion. Nick transported my dad from Brooklyn to the funeral home in Paterson. John updated us throughout his trip and Nick was very caring and thoughtful during the transportation process. While working with John he was professional, kind, thoughtful, communicative, and really helped to put our minds at ease during an unimaginable time. He walked us through the entire process from start to finish, was upfront about the costs of everything, and was able to work within our budget to lay my dad to rest. We are forever grateful for John and the entire team at Manke Funeral Home! It was the best decision we could have made. Thank you for bringing kindness and light during our family’s darkest hours.“

“The process of losing a loved one is something no one is ever truly prepared for—it’s overwhelming, emotional, and incredibly difficult. From the moment we walked into Stellato, we were met with warmth, compassion, and a sense of comfort that felt like family.

A special thank you to Dori, who went above and beyond during such a hard time. Her kindness, patience, and attention to every single detail did not go unnoticed. She guided us through every step with care and understanding, making an incredibly painful process just a little bit easier to navigate.

Not a single detail was missed. Everything was handled with such professionalism and genuine heart. We are truly grateful for the support, compassion, and dignity they showed our family.

We cannot recommend them enough to anyone going through such a difficult time.“
