I lost my 97 year-old mother in March of 2020. I found the whole process of arranging her burial and then deciding on the appropriate monument extremely difficult. I appreciate the continuing assistance I received from Jeffrey Cohen and his staff at Eternal Memorials. They helped me decide on a very appropriate headstone, which is now finally in place. I recommend their services without reservation. Janet H. read more

This flower shop is one of many in the way to Pinelawn Cemetery. They provide real flowers as well artificial flowers for burial sites. They are very helpful, kind and funny. They know the stipulations and regulations for the cemetery. I was able to place both. Artificial flowers as well as real flowers at the site for my mom. I saw the most beautiful bouquet of flowers , I had to get them. read more

It goes from bad to worse here. I'll backtrack a little. My mother passed, and we wanted her name engraved on my father's headstone. We went there, completed the paperwork, and made a down payment. Months went by, and we didn't hear anything--not a phone call or email. We finally decided to go down there to find out what was going on. We spoke to a guy named Jeff. He said he mailed us some papers to sign and then shoved them in my face. I asked, "What's this?" He replied that he mailed them out and never heard back from us. I told him, "You didn't hear back from me because I never got them. I didn't receive a call or email either." Eventually, we paid the rest of the amount. Now for the new developments. It's October, and we still haven't heard from them. We go down there again, and this time there's a nice lady who listens to our situation. She goes to get the paperwork and shows us that it was supposed to be done in May. She explains that they just hired more people to catch up. I didn't want to hear that. If something is delayed, they should contact the customer and explain what's going on. The lady assured us she would get it done, and she did. We should have spoken to her the first time instead of Jeff. Finally, my mother's name is on the grave, and everything is good. But then my brother gets a call saying we owe them the rest of the payment. He calls me to explain what's going on. I find the receipt and instant message it to him. Then they call him back to say they made a mistake. It was a comedy of errors. read more

I'd like to preface this by saying that I have made several attempts to pay this company for the work they performed. They also insist that I agreed to "any additional fees" that they decided to only disclose on the final invoice. Giving them the ability to add undisclosed costs to their customers. It's my opinion that this business is extremely misleading and dishonest. Unfortunately, I found this out the hard way. I hired Eternal Memorials in October of 2023 to build and place my parents headstones. Their quote came in lower than their competitors so we decided to go with them. To ensure accuracy and one would hope put together an accurate quote, they went to my parents' graves and copied an existing stone in our family plot for comparison. On the original quote, they listed the first 50 characters included but did not provide any overage charges that exceeded the 50 characters. Without having any direct experience I had no reason to question the fees listed on the original seeing as the quote listed $0.00 under the "Letters Overage" column. If there was to be an overage fee, this would be where you would put that amount. One would have no reason to think there would be such a difference from the original quote to the final invoice. In December, after leaving a $1,600 deposit, I received another invoice with the balance due. When compared to the original quote, they added 118 additional characters at $9.75 a piece totalling $1,150.50. they claim that I added characters later on (Hebrew names) which is simply not true. The only characters that were "added" was my parents Hebrew names which only account for 20 to 30 of those 118 additional characters. They say that we add them later because we had to confirm that the Hebrew was written correctly on the stones It's worth mentioning how they are pretty clever, when it comes to responding to these claims. I wrote them a lengthy email questioning the unauthorized additional charges and they tried to use conversations we had out of context as a way to avoid accountability.. They said I agreed by signing their contract to pay any additional fees. So if I understand that correctly that would mean they can essentially charge me more throughout the transaction, whether they are disclosed or not, which is preposterous. As far as supporting evidence, the invoices speak for themselves. It's obvious that by leaving the $1,150 overage fee off of the initial quote and knowing what that overage would be plus or minus 20-30 characters (depending on Hebrew names), it's very obvious this was done intentionally and for the sole purpose of misleading the customer. Np business should be allowed to take advantage of people who are grieving the loss of loved ones. read more

We've been working with Melissa at Eternal in order to get three (3 - don't ask!!) footstones created at once. And they needed to "match" the ones already in our family plot. She has been attentive, patient and helpful every step of the way. And being so even from across the country! Have just now seen photos of the finished product, and we're so very pleased. read more

The competent and compassionate staff at Eternal Memorials Babylon , made a very difficult time easier to navigate. I lost both parents and I live 1,000 miles away from NY. Remotely, they walked me through every step of the process and we created a monument befitting the beautiful life and love story of Mom and Dad. Thank you read more

I lost my aunt 4 years ago and although I knew that I needed to buy and customize her headstone, it just wasn't easy for me to do. I can't thank Eternal Memorials enough for their help and support to make the process simple, efficient and even cost effective. The owner (Jeffrey) called me to help and offer his services. I can't think them enough for their help in a difficult process. Thank you Brett read more

Melissa was very patient and helpful while we were picking a stone for my mother. My brother, father and I all live in different states and after the initial meeting everything was done through email. Responses were prompt and informative. I would highly recommend them. read more

Terrible customer service, horrible company to deal with, play on your motions. Lies lies lies never deal with them. You'll be waiting over a year to get your love, ones stone. They have no clue what they're doing very unorganized and never never give you a straight answer . I'm still waiting for my dear mother, stone to be put in and I prepared over a year ago. read more

One of the most difficult things my mother had to do was pick out & look for a headstone for my father . We looked several places .Melissa from Eternal Memorials helped make it a pleasant experience. She was so patient & professional during the whole process. My mother wanted nothing more than to make my fathers headstone meaningful during the customizing & Melissa was so understanding, it meant so much to my mother. We highly recommend her & Eternal Memorials. read more

You don't want to hassle with such details after the loss of a loved one, Melissa and staff were compassionate, complete and thorough in getting this taken care of easily and promptly. read more

Whenever I've had an issue with my any grave in my family's plots, Jeffrey Cohen was extremely helpful in getting everything done, from a new footstone, to the cleaning of the monuments, to any problem afterwards. The proximity of Eternal Monuments is perfect, right by several cemeteries, so he was able to go right over and check. I had a problem, I called late one afternoon, he checked early the next morning and called back. Can't get better service than that. I recommend him and the company highly. read more

I have worked with Jeffrey and his team for stones for both parents. Jeffrey provides very good advice and was very patient with discussing my specific requirements. I highly recommend Eternal Memorials! read more

This is first time I have left a review for anything, and had to sign up on YELP to do this, but in this case I feel it is necessary. It was a long road to finally get a foot stone set for my mother. The result was much less than satisfying. The office staff that I communicated with for months were always informative and pleasant, and I have no compliant at all. However, the end result was not satisfying after I saw a picture of it after installation. I fully understand, that ETERNAL MEMORIALS sells the item ,helped design it , and oversees it being processed and eventually installed at the grave site. The actual construction is someone else's responsibility that they work with and assume had positive results. ULTIMATELY , ETERNAL MEMORIALS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR END PRODUCT I live in Miami, and I can only go by a picture of the end result and installation. As I requested, a picture was emailed to me, but the quality of the lettering was far from satisfaction. Poor clarity and many words in the picture sent to be could not even be read. This causes me great concern as it is obvious that ETERNAL MEMORIALS does not care of the quality of how it came out before the final installation. Could have been a poor picture, don't know, never got a reply to my complaints to them or another picture taken that may be better, so I can only assume that my concerns were accurate. Emails of this issue to JEFF COHEN meant nothing without reply. I wish JEFF would be more concerned about the final product than charging for every letter and concerned about the rapid payment to them. ****** I know I can't do anything now as payment had already been made months ago. What I can do however, is to no longer deal with this company, as the next step is to create and install a full grave site monument that would cost thousands more. ,ETERNAL MEMORIALS. WILL NOT BE INVOLVED IN THAT Thank you, and hope during these times of sadness, you make a wiser judgement that I did, read more

Losing a child is gut-wrenching, but Melissa and the kind folks at Eternal Memorials were so patient and companionate with me during this process. At times I just couldn't think clearly or decide quickly, and they stood ready to help without ever pressuring. The final memorial is beautiful reminder of him. read more

I had arrived on Long Island to visit the family grave for the first time, and was shocked to see my fathers name missing on the headstone since his passing in 2000. I'm grateful for fate steering me into Eternal Memorials across the street from the cemetery, as they have made this difficult experience much more bearable, pleasantly simple, and very affordable to add his name to the family headstone. A big, heartfelt thank you to the kind, caring, and professional staff for giving me much needed closure. read more

Living 5 or 6 hours by car away from New Montefiore Cemetary we were concerned that the inscription on my parents' memorial would be inaccessible to both complete and visualize. The group at eternal memorials was able to caringly complete it and send us a photo of the final appearance of the memorial. This was reassuring to all of us all. read more

Please accept my condolences because if you are looking for a memorial your family has encountered a death in the family. Jeffrey and Melissa provided personal service in the midst of the pandemic and worked with the cemetery to carefully coordinate activities. My wife's foot stone was completed in time for the unveiling which was done with a few family members, our rabbi, and the remainder of the family around the country on Zoom. All our interactions were by phone and email and the Eternal Memorials team handled the issues with concern for our family's needs and Judaic religious observance. This is a professional organization committed to working with families in their time of grief. If you choose Eternal Memorials for your monument you and your family will have made an excellent choice. I give them my highest recommendation without reservation. read more

From the very beginning this place was very professional, Melissa answered all our question and concerns. We gave them our design and they did everything they could to make it work with the type of stone that we picked. Overall we're super pleased with the service that was provided, and the headstone looks FANTASTIC!! I highly recommend this place. read more

Sadly, both my brother and mother passed last year, and Eternal Memorials were extremely compassionate & kind. They offered great long distance assistance in making all the necessary arrangements & helped tremendously during very difficult circumstances. Any issues or questions were answered immediately and handled through email or phone. Very appreciative of my Eternal Memorial experience. read more

First off, my condolences if you're looking here because it probably means you lost a loved one. But please know that you will be in such good hands with Jeffrey and his Team. They're so nice...and kind...and patient...and knowledgeable. They never rushed me, & gave some really good advice. This was the first headstone I ever needed to have made, I had no idea what I was doing, but Jeffrey & his Team walked me through everything, and now, I feel good knowing that Dad must be happy with what we created for him. You'll be in good hands if you go through Jeffrey & his Team. read more

Everyone here was so helpful and kind, helping me design a stone for my husband. Jeff and everyone who works for him were great and I know their work is fabulous because they made the stone for my Dad several years ago. They used the highest quality granite and do excellent work. I live in California, and in both instances I had to handle arrangements by phone and email. Everyone was very responsive and made everything as easy as possible for me. They are the only monument company I would ever use. read more

Eternal Memorials and all of the wonderful ladies who work there made an extremely difficult and sad time a little better (if that is possible). I worked with Jeffrey and the ladies (Karen, Julia, etc.) via phone as I'm across the country. They were all very helpful, sincere, and kind. They provided answers and recommendations in a timely manner regarding. They really seem to care about the families and friends of the ones we've lost. Thank you for all of your help and kindness. read more

Eternal Memorials have been very supportive and highly professional. To help us design the memorial headstone and ledger, they went to the grave site and took a picture of our father's headstone so that we could emulate that in our plans. That was quite helpful. They sent us a mock up to review and corrected any errors prior to engraving. The whole process was smooth and comforting. As a result, they have honored our 91 year old mother's memory. read more

I used Eternal Memorials (West Babylon store) to buy my Mom's foot stone for Wellwood cemetary. I live in NJ so it is a long way away and I went out memorial day weekend and Eternal Memorials was the only one of the 3 places Wellwood recommended that was thoughtful enough to be open that day. Moreover Jeff the proprietor was very helpful every step of the way. I strongly recommend them. read more

These people are as sleazy as they come. Several months after my mom passed we get an official looking document/ contract in the mail. It informs me that I am, required to erect a footstone, I believe it was 18 months after interment. When I start to inquire about the specifics of who they were and why they contacted me this woman got belligerent and nasty. Finally after a few minutes I figured this was nothing more than a cold call to a grieving family. These people are low lifes and I would advise all to steer away from them. read more

I've never met anyone at Eternal Memorials face-to-face, but in all of our phone and email interactions they've been responsive and professional. My father died in the summer of 2019, and I'm in California, so everything needed to be handled remotely. They made the process as painless as possible, and that involved cleaning other stones in our little family plot, fabricating the marker for my dad, doing the install and dealing with the cemetery, all during the Season of Covid-19 Pandemic. Jeffrey, Melissa and the other folks I've communicated with at EM have all been easy to deal with, while also being thorough and competent. If you're in the market for a monument, then this is not an easy time for you, so you might as well deal with people who are ethical and know what they're doing. read more

I was very impressed with this company. I do not live on Long Island but my mother was buried there so we needed someone local. Jeffrey handled our order and everything was perfect. From the promised date of completion to the craftsmanship on the monument. I really appreciate all their help because I couldn't be there to oversee the work and yet it turned out flawless. They managed to make the photo look life like, beautiful. The pricing was competitive. Very trustworthy company "Thank You Jeffrey Cohen". read more

Picking out a tombstone for my mom was so incredibly hard. However, I knew that I wanted to design it myself. When I walked into Eternal Memorials, Jeffrey and the team was nothing short of kind and caring to me. Jeffrey took my design and made some adjustments. After a few rounds of notes (which they accommodated without question), they designed an unbelievably beautiful stone for my mom. It was up way before our scheduled unveiling. When people do eventually see it at the memorial, I'm sure they will feel the exact same way. read more

Jeffrey and his staff did a great job with my Mother's head stone and our family stone. He was very attentive to our needs and helped us through this difficult time. I would definitely recommend him to others. read more

After my mother passed last year at the age of 96, I met with Jeffrey Cohen at Eternal Memorials to arrange for an inscription to be added to the headstone installed at the time of my father's passing 10 years earlier. Mr. Cohen treated me with dignity and respect, helping me understand the entire process. Mom's inscription was completed well ahead of schedule and the quality of the work was simply exceptional. The brand new and 10-year-old inscriptions matched so perfectly that you would have thought they were done at exactly the same time! Eternal Memorials also did a great job communicating with me every step of the way. I could not have asked for anything better! If you want to be treated like a valued customer and receive the very highest quality work at a very difficult time in your life, go see Jeffrey Cohen at Eternal Memorials!! read more

This was my first time needing an engraver, to add names to an existing family headstone. St. Charles Cemetery gave me contact information for Eternal as well as a few other services. While there was a little confusion during our first phone call (I was calling to learn about the process, and was trying to understand how it all worked and what the prices were, they thought I was calling in an order), after we got that cleared up it was fine. They were responsive and communicative and professional throughout the process. They mentioned some work that we could do to improve the headstone, but gave me an honest assessment of whether it was really required, and there wasn't any upsell - that really impressed me. Jeffrey even took the time to email me a photo of the completed work afterwards, since I don't live near the cemetery. read more

When my aunt passed away it fell to me to manage all the arrangements. This was even more difficult than usual because I live in Seattle, my Aunt lived in Philly, and the cemetery is in NY. Luckily I was able to connect with Eternal Memorials for the headstone. It turned out to be a long process, because my aunt had a very specific idea of what she wanted, and the weather affects the installation of the stone. We had to make all the arrangements via phone and email. There was Hebrew translation and writing required, and they really helped me out with that. Throughout the process, Jeffrey and his staff diligently followed up with me and made sure the final stone matched my aunt's requests exactly. In fact, Jeffrey himself drove to the cemetery to email me a photo of the installed headstone. It came out beautifully and I really appreciated Eternal Memorials' help and kind support during the process. Their fee for the stone was really fair as well. I highly recommend Eternal Memorials, especially if you have to manage a process like this long-distance. read more

The lack of customer service was astounding. When you pay for things upfront you have no recourse. I purchased a stone for my mother and an acid wash for my father's stone in February, 2016. On Memorial Day I went to pay my respects to my father, a veteran. To my shock, my mother's stone was there and my father's stone was untouched. No communication from Eternal whatsoever! DO NOT USE. read more

When you find yourself in the unfortunate circumstances of needing a memorial, you can't do better than Eternal Memorials. Their sensitivity, attention to detail and extraordinary level of service far exceeded expectations. This is not to mention that they were able to accommodate a very time-sensitive request without batting an eyelid. Highly recommended. read more

My family has worked with Jeff Cohen at Eternal Memorials in West Babylon for many years and recently when my mother passed away I was pretty must lost in sadness. Jeff arranged everything for me, with honesty, caring and sincere sympathy. He went above and beyond what was necessary and I will be forever grateful. The stone was lovely and just as designed. All the arrangements were made for me or I was advised as to what to do next. Unlike many people one must engage with at the time of a loved ones death, Jeff and his staff were extremely helpful as well as compassionate. read more
