“I can’t thank Ivis and Marty enough for helping my family and I during one of our darkest times we’ve had to face with losing my dad. From the moment of my first call to Ivis, I knew we were in good hands. She made sure there was a seamless transition, calling me and keeping me posted along the way, even during early morning hours. Marty made us feel confident in all of our decision making and helped us with everything, including making sure we had good pricing. My dad has used Marty for years, and now we 100% understand why. You are in good hands with everyone on the team. It’s a horrible reason to come here, but the entire Goldstein Funeral Chapel team makes you feel like a person. There was no stress, and they keep in contact with you along the way. Thank you again, my family and I are forever grateful!“

“St. Gabriel's Cemetery and Mausoleum has brought my family so much comfort during a very difficult time. What truly sets St. Gabriel's apart is the people. The staff has been nothing but kind, patient, and supportive.
And I have to mention Rich, the director - he has been incredible. His compassion, guidance, and genuine care made a world of difference. He handled the situation with respect and warmth, and it shows in everything he does.“

“From the very beginning, Joe answered my call on a Saturday night and immediately understood the urgency and sensitivity of our situation. He provided guidance and support as we worked through the process of moving my grandmother from a grave in Queens to New Jersey, which is still ongoing with their support.

Joe, Jimmy, and the entire team also helped my family and me arrange the funeral services for my dad, handling everything from A to Z with compassion and professionalism. When my dad passed at home, they were incredibly thoughtful and gave us the time we needed for my sister to return home and say her goodbye. From that moment on, Jimmy guided us through every step with patience and care.

From the cemetery arrangements to the funeral home, the morning mass, and the burial, Jimmy was present for all of it. Knowing he was there made an incredibly difficult time feel more manageable.

Everything was handled with grace, sympathy, and respect. I truly cannot say enough good things about this team. Looking back, the only thing I might have arranged differently would have been a police escort, as we had more cars than expected—but that does not take away from the exceptional care we received.“

“Thank you Frank and the staff for organizing my brother’s funeral. They were very thorough and professional, and helped us through this time. We appreciate everything from start to finish.“

“Having to work out the services arrangements for a funeral given the circumstances is a horrible thing to be doing but Dan made this a very supportive experience. He was very informative and transparent in the process.

I had to go through the arrangements last month and it was very difficult but this location was very convenient, the services were financially friendly, and the entire process was seamless. Dan is very accommodating to whatever you need to help you through this time.

There is also a room on the side which was very helpful for people to be in and out of - it was peaceful as the entire place is to yourself so it feels more intimate during such a horrible grieving process. Thanks to Dan and his team it was a little easier.“

“Gundrums helped me several times during difficult times. They were accommodating and compassionate and helped make the process easier for us. Highly recommend“

“Although this review is long overdue, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to Greg and the entire Novak staff for the exceptional care they provided during our father’s services. From start to finish, the professionalism demonstrated by Gustav J. Novak Funeral Home in Perth Amboy was truly outstanding.

As this was my first time making funeral arrangements, Greg was incredibly supportive and attentive throughout the entire process. He guided me step by step—from providing a clear and helpful checklist to ensure all burial arrangements were completed in advance, to thoroughly explaining the details of both the funeral and church services. His patience and compassion made a very difficult time much more manageable.

The staff was courteous, respectful, and attentive in every aspect, and our experience was seamless. I would highly recommend Gustav J. Novak Funeral Home to anyone in need of funeral arrangements for a loved one.

Thank you again to Greg and the Novak staff for your professionalism and care.

Sincerely,
The Patino Family“

“I recently visited Alpine Cemetery in Perth Amboy, NJ, and it left a lasting impression on me. This cemetery, which has been around since the 1920s, is beautifully maintained. The grounds are clean, peaceful, and full of quiet reflection.

I came as a stranger, hoping to find the grave of my best friend who rests there. The kindness and dedication I received from the staff went far beyond what I expected. Marie in the office and Troy, the groundskeeper, personally helped me locate his resting place and made me feel cared for during the entire visit.

Being able to stand there in the calm and serenity of Alpine Cemetery gave me a moment with my friend that I will always carry in my heart. It was quiet, peaceful, and deeply meaningful.

Although I was not involved in any burial planning or arrangements, the compassion and professionalism of the staff alone would make me recommend Alpine Cemetery to anyone seeking a resting place for their loved ones.

I will certainly return to visit my friend again. I’ve promised myself that each time I do, I’ll stop by to see Marie and the team to say thank you for all they’ve done.

PS - I see all the one star reviews mainly about the cemetery removing things people made or left for their loved ones and want to tell them…find a cemetery that DOESN’T have the same policy. ALL of the ones I have ever been in, including the one with my 12 person family plot, does the same thing. Do you expect them to leave everything there, and then complain about the site being over grown? Face reality people as the workers at Alpine are just trying to maintain and keep the grounds as manicured as possible and that’s is not uncommon or odd for a cemetery to do, versus your outlandish expectations which are not realistic.“
