The headstone of one set of our grandparents is about 70 years old, and over time it had become…read morebadly weathered. Cleaning it wasn't in our plans for this year, but the death of a family member who wanted to be buried in that plot found us scrambling to improve its look. That's when we reached out to the Koch Monument team of Hackensack, NJ for help. We only had one weekend before the funeral to find someone who could attempt to clean it. The first company we called said it would take weeks so they couldn't do it. But then we called Koch Monument. We reached out to them on a Friday to prepare for a funeral the following Tuesday, and all they needed was a picture of the headstone to provide us an estimate, and once we agreed to their estimate they went right to work. When our family and friends arrived at the cemetery we discovered the headstone looked brand new, and stuck out from all the surrounding headstones which looked like ours did before the Koch Monument team cleaned it. And members of our family were especially touched at how good it looked. So we can whole heartedly recommend Koch Monument to anyone looking to have cemetery stonework cleaned. They did a wonderful job in a very tight time frame.

Mr. Michael Lewis worked closely with me and responded quickly to my many calls. He helped me redesign the stone twice and was very patient. He offered good advice as to the size of the stone, coordination with other family headstones and details. In the end, I purchased a headstone that was engraved with my mother's handwriting and carried the same floral design as another family member's stone. Pricing was straightforward. The headstone turned out perfectly!

Mike patiently, and compassionately, went through multiple iterations with me, and sent me many sample photos and layouts before we arrived at the final version, including a couple of well-placed small paw prints (as my wife was an animal lover) and a lovely eternal flame. The end result was perfectly executed, and I feel it somehow captures the warmth, artistry and sensitivity of the woman I loved so deeply. Purchasing a monument and inscription comes at a very sad time in our lives - Mike's compassion and professionalism made the process a little easier with a rewarding result.

I see a couple of negative reviews on here saying that the staff wasn't professional or no one picked up the phone, other nonsense and I have to say this was NOT my experience at all and we've been going to the funeral home for years with the same funeral director (Tom Roemmelt). The staff is extremely accommodating. For our most recent funeral, our beloved Auntie Ro loved playing the lottery. And we mentioned we wanted to have some sort of floral arrangement that would somehow honor that. Tom says "let me see what I can do." He calls up the florist, explains to them the situation, and a few seconds later he hangs up and looks at me and my wife and says "It's done." And sure enough, the arrangement came out BEAUTIFULLY, and everyone who came to the service loved it. And it provided quite a few smiles on such a dark and sad day. Also our beloved Auntie Ro was 95, and Janitza Soto made her look absolutely wonderful. They dyed her hair *exactly* the way she liked it and did her makeup flawlessly. Rose would have loved it. They took every single instruction and request we gave them and executed it perfectly right down to the pink rosary we gave them to have Auntie Ro was holding in her hands. They never once rushed us. Or pressured us. And they were always at all times professional, courteous and respectful. Tom even gave me his personal cell number to contact him directly no matter what time of day or night. To which, last minute things came up and I had to text him at midnight at he responded IMMEDIATELY. Cannot say enough nice things about this funeral home and staff. Highly recommend working with them. AAAAAAAA+++++++
