“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.“

“My family and I can not say enough about the wonderful service we received from Norman Dean Funeral home for my husband’s passing. Every member of the staff was helpful and thoughtful, but the two that took care of the family deserve special accolades. Olivia Lofgren and Krystal Ann Cherico are nothing short of amazing. The care, guidance, support and professionalism was second to none. Not a single detail was overlooked and the entire experience couldn’t have been better.

From calling to make sure we didn’t need anything to being available to us at all times, we felt that we were attended to at every moment. Because of the exemplary service, our stresses were lessened tremendously. Collecting our personal effects after our loved one was laid to rest was the icing on the cake. Everything was presented and packed in the most professional way and all loose ends were tied up with the perfect sense of closure. This celebration of life was even better than we envisioned.

We would be remiss if we didn’t recommend Norman Dean to help lay your loved one to rest. There is a special blessing over each and every member of the team, and we thank them all from the bottom of our hearts.“

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.“
