    I rarely write reviews, but my experience with Plinton Curry Funeral Home was deeply disappointing…read moreand upsetting that I felt compelled to share. I wouldn't recommend this funeral home based on my family's recent experience. It felt more like a business transaction than a place meant to handle a loved one's final arrangements with love. From the start, they were difficult to reach, reluctant to provide a price list, and overall, the process felt more like a money grab than a service rooted in care. Getting a clear, itemized price list. felt like pulling teeth, despite the FTC's Funeral Rule requiring funeral homes to provide it upon request it was a violation of basic transparency and consumer rights. When I questioned the $12,128 cremation quote with a $6,000 discount due to a family connection to my uncle. Every conversation seemed to circle back to cost, not compassion. Ron Curry set up a Zoom meeting with my family that was supposed to start at 4pm, we waited over 2 hours for him to join, and he never did. After reaching out several times we were told that he was with another family and rescheduled for 8pm.Even then he never joined the Zoom but via his cell phone, when asked if he was going to join the ZOOM he replied, "do you need to see me". They have two locations listed but when I requested the Westfield location I was told that location is only to prepare not for reviewing. Mr. Curry condescendingly called me "sweetheart" .....letting me know they are very expensive and cost more than other funeral homes in the Newark area (he did mention names, but I won't) that was completely unprofessional and disrespectful during such a vulnerable time. We were left with unanswered questions and some aspects--like how her body was presented--left us deeply disappointed. After sending several more pictures Ron did do some touch-ups to make my aunt look more like her pictures and we were pleased. Stephanie referred to my loved one as "the remains" before changing it to the body never by name, and never with the respect she deserved. It was upsetting and dehumanizing. The compassion I expected simply wasn't there. My aunt service was scheduled for May 14th, 2025, during the meeting I asked what day she would be cremated and could the family attend....I was informed by Stephanie to attend the cremation would cost $150 per person. I asked what's included with that price because I have attended a few cremation services and NEVER recall paying a fee to attend. Rahim was the only person who showed genuine kindness and professionalism he was the saving grace in an otherwise troubling experience. He went beyond the call of duty by offering to pick up or drop off things to make it easier for the family instead of traveling all the way to the Somerset office. My Aunt's service was May 14,2025 it wasn't until we called to inquired if she had been cremated just so happen, she was cremated on that day. Due to the office only being open from 9am -2pm Monday-Friday and only open on Saturdays if they have a service NOT 24 hours like they advertise I requested; they mail me my aunt's ashes. They used The United States Postal Service Grief is hard enough. Families shouldn't have to feel like they're being taken advantage of in the middle of it. Families deserve better during moments of grief. I sincerely hope this business reflects on how they treat people during such sensitive times. My aunt deserved dignity and respect, but instead, the process felt rushed and impersonal. RUN DON'T WALK!!!!!! .

    The staff was amazing. Everything was professionally done. The family was greatly pleased. I highly…read morerecommend them.

    We dealt directly with Martin Goldstein. We thought it would be a positive experience working with…read morethe owner. That's specifically why I went to this place. It was my choice. What a mistake! An absolute NO! One of the worst business experiences of my life. Mr. Goldstein knew my parent was a proud Veteran. We met with him 2 weeks before the passing and specifically told him that. And they were living in a Veterans' Home. No way to miss the fact of them being a Veteran. Meanwhile, when it was time for the funeral, the American flag was missing from covering the casket, a glaring omission and very upsetting to those in attendance. As a mourner, the child, I never received the standard laminated document that is usually handed out listing the yahrzeit dates for the future. When I later called and made a simple request for the yahrzeit laminated sheet, included as part of funeral cost, I was literally yelled at by Martin Goldstein for some reason. In his screaming, out of the blue, he said the following, screaming at the top of his voice through the phone: "You're not my mother." I don't know what he was talking about. I was making a simple request. The man has very, very serious anger management and other issues.

When my mother, Susan Farber made her arrangements for her funeral she made it very clear to Mr. Goldstein that she wanted her hearing aids, false teeth, and glasses to be placed in the casket with her. In fact when I spoke to him on the day of my mothers passing he said please bring those items because my mother especially mentioned she wanted them with her. I brought them to you that day 10/21/22 and left them in his care! Upon arriving to the cemetery on the day of the funeral your employee gave me a bag with what I presumed was just the yarzeit candle. It was only after the funeral and I internment that I looked in the bag and was absolutely horrified to see that the last physical request my mother made of me was not met. The hearing aids, teeth and glasses were still in the bag. I felt violated. You knew this was important to my mother so in turn was important to me. I immediately called Mr. Goldstein and his answer was to say leave the items in the office and he would bury them the next day. I was disgusted that he thought I'd leave it that to him. He began yelling and said what do I want him to do? I wanted him to do his job. I went back to the cemetery and unfortunately the items could not be put with my mother in the casket because that would require an exhumation. I could only settle for having the items buried near her. It is not what she or I wanted or requested. The lack of professionalism and follow through did not meet what my mothers or my expectations. Beware of your expectations of Goldsteins Funerals as you will be gravely disappointed

They made the most impossible time in our lives infinitely easier with exactly the right combination of skill, clear communication, compassion, and care. They were professional while also being completely human in our time of need. They catered to the needs of my sister's children with deep patience, grace, and love. I felt a wave of calm and comfort in their hands. They even helped us set up the room for her funeral and brought it to life with their own special touches and wealth of experience. Maryann held me every step of the way trying to coordinate things while I was in terrible pain. She is every good thing and your family will find itself in the most capable hands with Ruby Memorial. Every single person we interacted with there was truly exceptional. I will always think of them as a bright spot in an otherwise incredibly dark moment.

She was very pleasant to work with and very knowledgeable about the process. We flied in to NJ on a Sunday and our father was picked up and ready to go on Monday for us. After the viewing, we talked a little more and learned what to do next. Price was fair and up front. Cash and checks preferred, but they can take credit cards. They also helped us with obtaining certified copies of father's death certificate. Thank you Ruby Memorial for making life easy, especially so close to Thanksgiving during the pandemic. It is highly recommended for your local service.
