I was here for a Celebration of Life Memorial Service for my friend. Losing a friend is…read moreheartbreaking, and I found the service here to be healing. For me, being in this beautifully restored 1903 building, with its graceful and classy interior, was comforting. The comfortable upholstered chairs, soft lighting, and strategically placed tissue boxes and waste paper baskets, created for me a feeling of a safe space where I could quietly sit and feel my emotions. The staff that helped officiate, Rick, Briony, and others, found the appropriate balance of being welcoming and helpful while also being solemn and respectful. I appreciate their professionalism. This funeral parlor has lots of free parking and staff to help direct where to park. I enjoyed the abundance of flowers and planters all around the parking lot and building and I spent some time enjoying these beautiful plants which brought some cheer at a sad time.

I can't see where this funeral home gets it's 5 star rating? If you use this funeral home watch…read moreout. Make sure you use ONLY your own pallbearers because then you will know that the jewelry you put on your loved one will STAY on the body but if you use the funeral homes pallbearer then you should not put any jewelry on the body because when the funeral director says everyone must leave the room because the pallbearers have to get the casket ready to get everything together and roll out the casket outside. The truth of the matter is the pallbearers need time to search the body over completely to take all the jewelry that you had put on your loved one will not stay on. The pallbearers steal the jewelry and the funeral director knows this is going on and does nothing to stop it.Another thing you can do is insist that you stay in the room to make sure your jewelry will stay on and watch the lid close. Don't let that casket get out of your way. This is a fact comment and true. I know of several people that had this happen to. It is sad and ashamed that others have to rob the dead.

The unexpected loss of my mother was a grief that I would not wish upon other people. As I was…read morelooking for a cremation service per the request of my mom prior to her passing. I came across Inpeace. The care of the team and also the flexibility made them the ultimate choice that I ended up going with. They have a quick turn around time to have your loved one cremated rather than waiting weeks to get your loved one the rest that they truly need. They were also very flexible with the payment method specially when you need to get the process moving. Any questions I had was answered with confidence or if they did not know, they would look for the answer and get back to me as soon as they were able. If you are going through what I am going through, I highly recommend Inpeace as the premier cremation service without any doubt.

Driving into the cemetery, after a rather long, arduous drive on parkway north, we entered a beautiful, peaceful catholic cemetery.. so lovely, I thought. Unfortunately, I had to deal with two women working in the cemetery office. As we approached the counter, the workers took their sweet time to address us. Then unfortunately, this troll-like woman, whom I believe was Lydia, rummaged through our paperwork with much distain and rudeness. She was without a doubt, the most ignorant, and despicable person I unfortunately had to encounter. Believe me, these were especially trying times for myself and family. However, the other employee came to the counter and resolved the issue, which I might add, was caused by their office giving the funeral director of Evergreen Funeral Home, Middletown,NJ., incorrect or not specific requirements needed for the paperwork. Here's a thought Lydia, if you are so unhappy being employed by the Archdiocese, Gate of Heaven Cemetery, in which you deal with bereaved families , you should seek employment more suitable to your demeanor and personality...such as a garbage depot. ja

Want to say "Thank You" to Father Joe, the new Chaplain at the cemetery. When I dropped by the…read moreMausoleum to say a prayer in the chapel I noticed a table set up near the entrance where Father Joe had a sign introducing himself as the Chaplain, offering to say a prayer for those whose names could be written on paper provided and asking visitors to take one of the crosses on a mirror on the table. I planned to return to the Mausoleum after visiting the graves of my relatives to get a cross before leaving. While I was at the gravesite of a loved one, a car pulled up and Father Joe introduced himself. He requested that I write a name down of a loved one who he could pray for and he gave me a Holy Spirit Pin to hold onto. He felt like so genuine a human being and meeting him lifted my spirits and felt so comforting. Father Joe seems like a truly welcome addition to Gate of Heaven and it is so wonderful to personally experience how he is making himself available for spiritual guidance to visitors

Then my brother-in-law passed and they were so helpful in helping us make decisions. When my husband passed away, they helped me and were so gracious to our family.

The compassion they show is a true gift. Thank you for all that you have done for my family. I am forever grateful

I only used them because it was the request of the descendant. Each experience was worse than the time before. Luckily, I'm out of family members so I won't ever have to deal with them again!! I don't want to make myself angry all over again by listing the reasons WHY I was so dissatisfied, or HOW they demonstrated unprofessional behavior, or WHAT attendees of the service (3 years ago) have since anecdotally told me they witnessed the manager/owner do or say. Suffice it to say LOOK ELSEWHERE for your loved ones services.

I am not sure I would have been able to navigate such a difficult time without her steady guidance from start to finish. My late husband was Jewish, and while I am not, Samantha thoughtfully walked me through each tradition, explaining its meaning and significance. She made it possible for me to make respectful, informed decisions that honored Jewish funeral customs. Throughout, she was honest, compassionate, and never pushed unnecessary or costly additions. I highly recommend Menorah Chapels for their professionalism, care, and integrity during such an emotional time.
