Horrible horrible service! I used their services recently a few weeks ago and they were rude,…read moreinattentive, dismissive, gave false promises, and misguided us. They promised us a tv screen in the overflow room during our wake service for my dad. The overflow room was completely packed with absolutely no tv so they just sat there and heard nothing. During the funeral procession drive, half the cars got disconnected. When a family member called them for guidance, Maryann responded very rudely telling us that we're supposed to be at a different cemetery (which was INACCURATE!). She was trying to direct us with the wrong funeral information. Whenever I called to get logistical information squared away bc my siblings and I were getting conflicting information from her, she was EXTREMELY condescending trying to tell me that I was the confused one. She also told me she sent things to my brother via email which was plain FALSE! Omg, this lady is in the wrong line of business. No one should speak to a grieving family like that. And you need to get your facts straight with the deaths. If you're too overwhelmed then you need to book what you can handle. Sounds like Maryann is the confused one...on top of being down right rude, condescending, and negligent. My condolences to all grieving families....it's hard enough to lose a loved one but do yourself a favor and find yourself another funeral home.

She got me through the process quickly and with much consideration for my state of mind. Gosselin was organized and efficient and Fallon is a great representative of Gosselin.

This is such a well organized and well laid out cemetery. Everything is maintained so cleanly and…read morethe look and feel of the place is amazing.

It is my sincere pleasure to post my review of St. Gertrude's Cemetery in Colonia, New Jersey. The…read moreentire staff is genuinely compassionate, caring , understanding and knowledgeable. My husband, mother and father are entombed at St. Paul Garden Mausoleum. I had my name inscribed on the crypt, I regretted I had my maiden name, for quite a while it bothered me. I went to the office and explained I just wanted the initial of my maiden name, not my entire maiden name. Caretakers, Dave and Tony assured me they can fix my name just the way I want and the front office approved it, no problem. I feel at peace now knowing when I take my place next to my husband,Don, my mom and dad, I will be happy because it is exactly what I want on the crypt.It is huge relief to me. I got this right with the help of staff. I dont have a big enough thank you. Mostly, I want the world to know that the ones you love are in a safe and beautifully maintain cemetery. In 25 years since my mother was entombed here, it has always been a comfort to know she is protected and respected by all who are caretakers of the deceased. and now my husband, Don and Dad. They are together in a place I trust and have confidence. St. Gertrudes is a beautiful spot. There are so many others I know who have been buried here. Thank you so much from the depth of my soul. God Bless each of you, you all do the work of caring for our loved ones. Importantly, all the staff personify the word professional, they are professionals to the hilt.

Horrible experience with their handling of my father's funeral and cremation. To begin with, they…read morewere not upfront about the assignment of financial responsibility for the arrangements. Steve Pearlmutter, told me I was signing off on the choices we made for the services, prayers, music, etc., when we later found out it was actually the bill for goods and services. Making me responsible for the costs. In the end, they ignored our calls advising them of the sale of my fathers home and requests to place a lien on the property since the executrix failed to pay the costs of the funeral from the estate, and we had to hire an attorney to have a judge order them to do so otherwise I would be liable, in essence making us their bill collector. They caused undue grief and emotional trauma by first, giving me instruction as to when and what time to pick up my fathers cremains at the crematory in Linden only to find out that steve Pearlmutter had retrieved them the day before as per his lawyers advice yet failed to inform me, knowing he told me when theyd be ready and that I planned to pick him up to prevent his exwife any chance of getting his ashes. The compassionate and courteous thing would've been to call to let me know on advice of their lawyers he picked up the remains. I would've understood. I'll never understand the way he handled this or other aspects of the service. Someone who worked with my father called the funeral home and left a confidential message for either of my brothers or myself. However, the director's son gave the confidential message to his exwife. He claimed the confidential message was for anyone??? Despite our instruction not to give anyone a death certificate copy without our knowledge or permission. We paid out of pocket for them. Yet, despite our instruction, they gave the exwife a copy which allowed her to gain access to our father's safety deposit box. These were just the most egregious of the acts which transpired lacking compassion, common sense and transparency toward the deceased's family. I realize they are the only funeral home in Clark, but I would not recommend them to anyone or use them ever again. In fact, I will never step foot in their establishment again even to attend someone else's service. We have since used and have been more than happy with the services of Petit Davis in Rahway.

Beth Israel Cemetery - ENDOWED broken graves that are left unfixed. Beth Israel Cemetery takes your money and then never cares for the grave.

In front of my sister in laws grave the sidewalk buckled, when I complained they removed it, when I asked when new concrete would be poured they said it was up to the association that we belonged to replace. It took me 3 years to get it fixed. I am a bilateral amputee and nearly fell was all it took. I've had my mother's grave ran over by a truck and her headstone knocked down. I constantly complained of the shrubs not growing and dying. A cemetery is a place of both sorrow and solitude, for 15 years I have been able to feel at peace when visiting. After my last visit, I was told they would address all of my concerns, Im Doubtful they will.

Period. This may be the tip of an iceberg. Has anyone else dealt with one of Everstory's properties including Beth Israel Cemetery making a mistake, taking instruction from one of the purported 'next-of-kin' knowing that they had been dealing with someone else, refusing to acknowledge the error, and then spending years trying to spin their way out of it?

to say this place is disgraceful is putting it mildly. My family has reached out to this cemetery…read moreseveral times with ZERO response. my Mother is buried up in the military area. it's unkept, unlevel and full of empty alcohol containers. they haven't emptied the garbage in several weeks. areas are dug up and dirt thrown over headstones. the area has sunken headstones. there's tractor marks everywhere. the foundation walking up the the cemetary is cracking from where they planted trees. I'm currently looking into an attorney or a news channel to bring light to this. you should be ashamed to keep peoples beloved family members to mourn in such a disgraceful setting! I'm only giving one star because I had to. It deserves nothing!!!!

No one really wants to go through the inevitable but on that day the people and organizations of service should understand these simple needs. I think most do but NOT CLOVERLEAF. Ruth Nicola, the cemetery manager was rude, inconsiderate and unprofessional on day of my mother's death. It's unconscionable She's incompetent and has no social skills therefore shouldn't be working in this line of business. If you are considering using Cloverleaf as a resting place for your loved ones - please don't. They're do t deserve that responsibility of handing your core or that of your loved ones. Please consider other options. Their are many.
