We recently lost my grandmother and could not have been more impressed with Debra, Tom, Teri and…read moreeveryone on the Goodman-Bensman team, who had a hand in helping us to plan her funeral. From the moment we walked in the door, we immediately felt at ease when we were greeted by Debra. Not only were we taken care of with extreme consideration and kindness, but Debra made sure that every detail for my grandma's celebration of life, was taken care of. We worried about nothing and everything, including the follow-up after the service far exceeded our expectations and was second-to-none. Thanks to everyone at Goodman-Bensman for making this experience so stress free and easy for our family.

I sought the services of Goodman-Bensman after my father passed away but after this experience…read morewould not recommend them to anyone. A cousin had found and recommended Goodman-Bensman because it was important to part of our family that my father be given the traditional Jewish funerary rites, like a ritual bath and watchman. I cannot speak to how/how well those traditions were carried out because we weren't present for those, but I can speak to how shockingly expensive all goods and services were with this outfit; a wooden casket (which arrived dented), air transport home, and associated services ($2,015 forwarding fee separate from airfare) cost us more than the funeral, burial, and everything else with the other funeral home and synagogue combined. Furthermore, the way Goodman-Bensman demanded full payment (but wouldn't even accept American Express) at 10:30 pm the night before the scheduled flight seemed in poor taste, to say the least. The receiving funeral home also reported that they ended up having to pay the airline themselves (and getting reimbursed by Goodman-Bensman) because Goodman-Bensman was unable to do so. The receiving funeral home also stated that communication was slow/poor with Goodman-Bensman and that my father's last name had been misspelled in the paperwork which was sent over, causing his death notice in the local paper to be misspelled. My father, moreover, wished to be buried in his blanket and favorite hat, which I communicated clearly with the funeral director, Tom. My father's hat was ultimately thrown in a linen bag unceremoniously at his feet and was thought to have been lost or misplaced until a few phone calls (and an unpleasant conversation with the seemingly defensive and resentful Tom) clarified the error. The last straw came weeks later, as I waited for copies of his death certificates to arrive; most funeral homes will notify the Social Security Administration of a death, but when my father received an SSA payment this month, I called the SSA to find out that the funeral home had never done so. Kimberly, who took my call at Goodman-Bensman, claims that they notified the SSA online but could not provide a record. The local SSA offices report that they received nothing. All in all, I'm very disappointed in the services my family and I received from Goodman-Bensman -- services for which we paid a substantial price. I regret my decision not to seek the services of another funeral home, which would have handled my father's last wishes and trip home with more grace and tact.

We looked at a few places before making a decision, and Holy Sepulchre stood out--not just for the price, which was the best by far--but for how easy they made everything. We felt like we got real good value, which is important when you're making these kinds of long-term decisions. We ended up getting a crypt because we like to be prepared. We don't want our kids having to deal with all that later on, and Holy Sepulchre really helped make that process straightforward. They walked us through everything, answered all our questions, and never made us feel rushed or pressured into anything. It was all handled with care and respect. We're also in the process of purchasing a headstone for my grandmother at another cemetery--Saint Adalbert--and I have to say, the experience hasn't been quite the same. Holy Sepulchre was just much better at answering questions and helping us understand the options. That really stood out. All in all, very pleased with how everything went here and very glad we got it taken care of when we did.

Our concerns and quetions were easily answered. They were flexible and respectful of our family needs and allowed us to plan what kind of service we needed and gave us their full suport without being imposing. Their charges were well within our planned budget and they directed their energy to assist us and not be a business atmosphere.
