Don truly treats his clients with empathy, kindness, and care, and I am deeply grateful for everything he did for my family.

Yes it was a real sad and tragic day, but thanks to the whole staff, including the drivers, the people who held traffic, and even the police escort which was included, my wife's grandma was treated with the respect she deserved and earned.

You helped my family through a hard time.

In commemoration of the Juneteenth Celebration of the Emancipation of Slavery from the Union,…read moreBergen County in NJ has opened this historic cemetery that's normally locked to the public for self-guided tours, which my partner and I paid a visit to today. Located on a 1 acre sandy hill west of the Hackensack River in the northern half of Little Ferry, Gethsemane Cemetery was founded in 1860 as a burial ground for Hackensack's African-American population as they were not allowed to be buried in the general Hackensack cemetery due to their race. There are three panels that list the names of those known to be buried among over 500 people. Among those buried are former slaves, wealthy landowners, and two Civil War veterans. One of them was Elizabeth Dulfur. Born a slave in 1790, freed in 1822, and dying in 1880, she began amassing land here as early as 1847 by owning a clay business, eventually becoming one of the area's wealthiest businesswomen and landowners. The last documented burial of Louis Swinney occurred on December 14, 1924. The remaining stones show dates between 1878 and 1911. The two most common family names found are Thompson and Jackson. In 1944, this cemetery is listed on the New Jersey and National Register of Historic Places due to the significant role it played in the enactment of NJ's early civil rights legislation as well as containing evidence of West African burial customs. If you are a history buff, we can recommend this place.

Then in 2019 when my uncle passed we went back thinking we'd get the same quality service we received before, boy was I wrong. The moment we walked in we were met by pure ratchetness. Dudes that looked like they belong elsewhere eating wings and a so called funeral director (not the same one I dealt with in 2013) just as ghetto. No tact no empathy. I requested a change of casket since the one my cousin chose wasn't up to par and I was told it couldn't be done bc allegedly the body was already in the casket which I suspect wasn't true. Finally the morning of the burial they were over an hour late to pick him up and go to the cemetery. No reason given just kept telling us they were on the way. Unless this place has changed management and staff in the last 7yrs I would not use this place. I'd rate them no stars but that's not possible.

I was pretty much in shock when I contacted First Avenue Funeral Service in October from another…read morestate to make arrangements for a funeral. From the start they were compassionate, gentle and kind. There was no attempt made to upsell their services. They quickly took possession of my brother before I arrived in New York and it was a comfort to my family that he was no longer in the city morgue while I flew out to NY. They made the entire process of his wake and cremation as simple and gentle as possible. Mr. Lee was the one who prepared my brother for viewing. Mr. Lee is an artistic genius, due to throat cancer my brother did not look as he once did but Mr. Lee worked a miracle and despite the circumstances of his death my brother looked as if he had just settled down for a nap on my sofa. I half expected his ankles to be crossed as was his habit in life. While searching for a funeral home I found out that the one my family traditionally used was having legal issues over quality and was forced to look elsewhere to arrange funeral services. I'd contacted several funeral homes before deciding to go with FAS due to their location and was surprised to find that they were the least expensive out of all the funeral homes I'd contacted. They were budget friendly without being skimpy. Located in an area with several funeral homes, they are small, not so flashy and easily overlooked but they provide wonderful service and are kind and compassionate. I highly recommend them and will use them again should the need arise.

Please move away from money grubbing funeral homes like the one in Canarsie that everyone goes to -- they don't care about you nor your family member. Harmony proves that you can provide an important service to your community without emotionally nor financially blackmailing families to pay for unnecessary costs.

I am sorry to say that the condition of the cemetery, especially the older section, is deplorable. I see many headstones leaning, damaged, or entirely toppled over. Pathways are so overgrown that you either can't find them or they stop abruptly. Trees are cut down but not replaced. The cemetery also places stickers on the headstones with messages. I find that a desecration of family property and monuments. My mother was buried at the family plot in November 2013. On that day, I noticed that our headstone was off center but I assumed that perhaps it was the result of opening the grave. But, on Easter April 20, 2014, I visited my mother's grave and the headstone was not reset, the grave was a pile of ungraded soil and the footing of the headstone was exposed. There was no place to plant flowers. I called Monday April 20, 2014 and was promised a call back. Today is April 23, 2014 and still no call. I was told that the cemetery was run by the state with a BOD. I'm trying to find out who's on the board. If there are sill plots or burial crypts available at Fairview, I wouldn't recommend buying one.
