I was here for a Celebration of Life Memorial Service for my friend. Losing a friend is…read moreheartbreaking, and I found the service here to be healing. For me, being in this beautifully restored 1903 building, with its graceful and classy interior, was comforting. The comfortable upholstered chairs, soft lighting, and strategically placed tissue boxes and waste paper baskets, created for me a feeling of a safe space where I could quietly sit and feel my emotions. The staff that helped officiate, Rick, Briony, and others, found the appropriate balance of being welcoming and helpful while also being solemn and respectful. I appreciate their professionalism. This funeral parlor has lots of free parking and staff to help direct where to park. I enjoyed the abundance of flowers and planters all around the parking lot and building and I spent some time enjoying these beautiful plants which brought some cheer at a sad time.

I can't see where this funeral home gets it's 5 star rating? If you use this funeral home watch…read moreout. Make sure you use ONLY your own pallbearers because then you will know that the jewelry you put on your loved one will STAY on the body but if you use the funeral homes pallbearer then you should not put any jewelry on the body because when the funeral director says everyone must leave the room because the pallbearers have to get the casket ready to get everything together and roll out the casket outside. The truth of the matter is the pallbearers need time to search the body over completely to take all the jewelry that you had put on your loved one will not stay on. The pallbearers steal the jewelry and the funeral director knows this is going on and does nothing to stop it.Another thing you can do is insist that you stay in the room to make sure your jewelry will stay on and watch the lid close. Don't let that casket get out of your way. This is a fact comment and true. I know of several people that had this happen to. It is sad and ashamed that others have to rob the dead.

When it became clear we were not interested in anything of the sort he quickly lost interest and even took a cell phone call in the middle of our meeting. Yes, in the middle of the meeting with family sitting around a table and sobbing. I get it that this is a job but he made it fell so transactional with badly feigned sympathy at best. And by the way this was over 3 years ago and still irks me. I am not a grieving person with no perspective.

Mike Bollock and his staff have all been absolutely wonderful. With the most recent passing of my sister, we were also experiencing a weather event that caused a week long power outage that also affected the funeral home. You would not have even noticed. They had generators running and they did the absolute best anyone could ask for under such conditions. I am great full to have such a wonderful,kind and caring establishment in our area to assist us in some of the most difficult times of our lives.

I inquired a year prior regarding picking out a plot and was told by Bill Hepplewhite at that time that we could not do that it was the next available plot that was available at the time of her death. when my Grandmother passed we left it to Bill Hepplewhite. he failed to tell us that when the next available single grave plot came up in that particular cemetery that we would not be able to have an upright grave stone but instead would have to have a flat to the ground grave marker which we did not want. Had we been told that upfront, we would have chosen the next available double plot. Bill Hepplewhite tried to blame everyone including my family, the cemetary and the Netcong Monument company. and his final words to me were"well what do you think your going to do about it now?" Beware when dealing with this funeral home and Bill Hepplewhite himself. He is very unprofessional and for someone that has been in this business a long time he shouldn't have messed that up and tried to place blame on everyone else. I'm told by his peers that he never takes responsibility for and mess ups. Proceed with caution with Davis and Hepplewhite funeral home.

My husband and I rarely post reviews, but the William J. Leber Funeral Home in Chester, NJ,…read more deserves the most glowing review we can write. Our dear parents/parents-in-law passed away within two hours of one another, and from the Leber staff's very first interactions with the family, we knew we were in the best of hands. Every single person that we or our siblings emailed or met during this painful time was warm, kind, compassionate, and patient. The funeral home itself is beautiful, tasteful, and comfortable. It really did FEEL like a home, with several seating areas for conversations and water and coffee available during the entire wake. The staff turned our family photos into banners, a large poster, a wonderful slideshow, laminated cards, a lovely keepsake leaflet for all the guests, and even a blanket (!) that brightened the room and added so much color and personality. They took care of every detail, including submitting to the local newspapers the obituaries the family had written. They directed the pall bearers expertly both at the church service and at the burial site. Everything was done with such care and compassion from beginning to end and we can't thank them enough.
