I have family and friends buried here, so I have been visiting this cemetery for many years. I was…read moresurprised by some of the reviews. I have never had anything negative to say about the staff or the grounds. I recently rented a car and drove out to the cemetery, June 2024. It was a hot day, and traffic from Manhattan to the cemetery and back was heavy 95% of the way. There was road work on the Grand Central in Nassau County, but I was shocked at how heavy traffic was. Before I left Manhattan, I called the cemetery for driving directions. The recorded information was GREAT!! I applaud the woman who recorded this information because she spoke at a very helpful good pace and she spoke clearly. It was very helpful information, done perfectly. I called back about 4 times to make sure I had it right since I was writing it down...LOL. And I wasn't rushing LOL Upon arrival, I went into the office to get the location maps for each gravesite I was visiting. The office staff was very nice and helpful and the outdoor staff was also very nice and helpful. I had not visited in years, so I vaguely recalled a little bit of what the gravesite locations looked like, for example, was it close to the sidewalk curb....but, even tho I had the map locations it was still a bit challenging. And here is what I mean when I say the outside staff was helpful too. One of the gardeners pick up trucks was driving by the area where I was looking in search of the gravesite and the man asked me if I wanted him to help me and I said I would really appreciate that. He asked me!! Now, that is a nice and helpful staff member. He was very kind, and he said you stay here and I'm going to drive around this block to locate the grave and I'll come back and tell you, and that's what he did, then I got in my car and followed to be closer to the gravesite. This is just one example of how helpful the outdoor grounds people were. In another area, I asked another staff member if he could help me, and he walked around and found the gravesite. If you are going to visit, allow extra time for finding the gravesites because even with the map, it is not a done deal. You really need to look and search within the section. The grounds are well kept and there were plenty of gardeners out, tending to the grounds the day I visited. I had really wanted to take a photograph of the entrance skates to the cemetery, but I thought I'd do it when I left, but that wasn't possible because the exit was at another side location so there was no place for me to stop my car unless I turned back into the cemetery And I was cutting it close because I knew I could expect heavy traffic going back and I had a deadline to return the rental car without a penalty. Next time, as long as it's not busy, I'll stop my car near the entrance and take a picture of the entrance gates. It is a nice entrance and as I said, overall the grounds are well kept. The people I have dealt with have always been very nice and helpful.

I've gone back and forth over the last month deciding whether to post this review. I finally…read moredecided that if it will help others alleviate some of their pain on the day of a loved ones funeral, then here is my review and advice: Although my mother was ethnically and culturally Jewish, she was not at all religious so we called and asked if they had a non-religious chapel for a secular memorial service. Kevin assured us we could have a non-religious/secular service. We then met with Kevin who showed us the neutral memorial chapel (they have another religious one next door) and he was helpful explaining all costs and coordination with cemetery. The funeral was scheduled for Monday. On Sunday the town car showed up to pick us up which freaked us out thinking they scheduled the funeral on the wrong day. Kevin apologized and owned his mistake. The town car came at correct time the next day but the driver was on the phone with (clearly) personal calls throughout the drive there and back, very unprofessional and insensitive. We had asked in initial meeting if there was a way to put up photos and they said they had large magnet boards to do photo collages. The magnets turned out to be a collection of chipped, broken, irregularly shaped chunks of old magnetic strips which looked junky and were hard to work with. New magnets would cost them $20 or less on Amazon and would be both much easier to use and more aesthetically pleasing. They told us most people prepare their photos at home but not until we were already there struggling with their crummy magnets. Had we known, we would have bought our own boards and magnets. There were trays of yarmulkes laid out and men attending funeral put them on. We specifically chose this chapel and told them we were having a nonreligious service so it caught us by surprise, We had to ask the men working to remove the trays of yarmulkes and also ask guests to remove them as my mother would have wanted. This made things weird and awkward. We were very glad to be told that the service could be live streamed for people to watch who could not attend in person. Since there was a very small number of people attending in a large chapel, I chose to stand close to them instead of at the podium up on the dais. Unfortunately, none of the men working, there standing in the room to help, ever told me beforehand that I HAD to stand at the podium, using the microphone, in order for the people watching the live stream to hear me! This was a MAJOR lack of communication on their part! I only found out I couldn't be heard on web streaming when I inquired about getting a recording of service days later and was told I would not be heard on it because I was not at the podium. I felt so sad and disappointed that others watching couldn't hear me and that I couldn't be heard on recording. I had asked days ahead of time if we could play a specific song at the end and was told by Kevin they could pull it up on Spotify to play through their speakers in chapel. After numerous failed attempts by multiple staff to try to get the song to play over speakers and then also not starting song from the beginning - which included waiting, leaving chapel to ask what's the problem, coming back in, waiting, asking again what was going on - we got a rude hostile attitude from Kevin! Ordinarily one of us would have confronted Kevin about his unprofessional attitude but not in the midst of the funeral. I finally just played the song holding my phone up to the microphone on the podium. It was an extremely awkward end to the service. Lastly, again, we chose this place because we wanted a non-religious memorial. They still draped a large cloth with a Jewish star on the coffin AND attached another one on the coffin which I had to rip off at the gravesite, leaving chunks of adhesive on the coffin, as it was lowered into the ground. We could not have been clearer from the first phone call and subsequent meeting about what my mother wanted, a non religious service. They just didn't listen or pay attention to the details! The fact that the cost of it all included obligatory "gratuities" for people working there for what was ultimately terrible service was also very disappointing. To summarize my advice to minimize stress and have things run smoothly: 1. Be very clear about religious vs. secular preference details. 2. Confirm date of service and town car. 3. Bring photos on your own boards or just bring your own magnets. Bring large photos in your own frames to display on table. 4. You must stand at podium using microphone to be heard on webcam. 5. Check sound system is working and test music is cued up properly beforehand or have music ready on your device to play into podium microphone. I hope this was helpful. My sincerest condolences to you at your time of loss.

Chris and his team could not have been more thoughtful, caring or sensitively attuned to what was…read moreneeded during the entire process of my mother-in-law's passing and funeral. Chris is likely to have attended to thousands of funerals, but there was no sense that this was 'same-old, same-old' with him. He was so in tune with where the family was emotionally, and was able to adjust accordingly. He was such a calming, helpful presence throughout. He has the wisdom of knowing that people's faculties are compromised at a time like this and guided us gently through each part of the process at just the right time, never invasive, checking in on what might be needed and offering just the right amount of guidance and preparation. Likewise, every inch of the funeral home and their chapels have been designed to make you feel the warmth, serenity and dignity you would wish for at such a time: The decor is elegant but homey; the background music is peaceful and settling; the fish pond and fountain in the reception area adds a natural, calming element, and of course, there's Jake. Jake (Chris's shadow) is a young, highly trained labradoodle who is the resident support dog, gently walking around, offering himself to anyone he senses may need him. He is a special soul and he loves his work. I don't think the process could have gone more smoothly. The chapel was beautifully set up and my mother-in-law looked so naturally elegant and peaceful at her wake in the chapel. They did an incredible job. They created a beautiful digital slideshow from all our photos and set up our photo boards and flowers magnificently. After the service, they packed up everything from the chapel and stored it for us carefully until we could collect it at our convenience. Nothing seemed too much for them as long as they could help make this process as easy and meaningful as possible for us. One final aspect worth mentioning: The funeral home allowed us to arrange a lot upfront, before my mother-in-law passed, which similar business services do not always allow. Once someone has passed, emotions are so high that it's really hard to concentrate on small details, which is required to plan accordingly. Being able to plan this all upfront was incredibly helpful.
